VCT Stage 3 Masters Berlin recap
There were some of the best teams in the world in attendance, including Masters 2 champions Sentinels, who were the red-hot favorites to lift the trophy in Berlin, before being 2-0’d by Envy that is. Envy seemed to have proven themselves worthy of representing NA in the Grand Finals, but despite some great individual performances by players, they weren’t able to take a single map against Gambit. The Berlin champs join Sentinels and KRU Esports as teams that have already secured a spot atValorant Champions, the end-of-the-year event thatwill also be held in Berlin. The convincing win by Moscow’s finest also allowed Fnatic to punch their ticket to the tournament as well. Even though Envy fell short in the Grand Finals, they’ve also qualified for Champions too, doing so through NA Circuit Points. https://twitter.com/GambitEsports/status/1439672371569430531?s=20
