G2 Esports won their maiden Valorant trophy on Monday when they defeated Prodigy 3-1 in the grand finals of the first officially sanctioned European tournament for the Riot Games first-person shooter, the Vitality European Open.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac15,000 (\u2243 US $16,914) event was hosted by Team Vitality as part of the IGNITION SERIES, which is a collection of Valorant tournaments organised by third-party companies in partnership with Riot.<\/p>\n

The Vitality European Open began on July 5 with open qualifiers, where 256 teams battled it out for one of eight tickets leading to the main event, which kicked off on Friday, July 10. The eight teams who fought their way through qualifying were Prodigy, FABRIKEN, PartyParrots, Apexis, need more DM, Bonk, breadHUNTERS and G2 Esports. They were then seeded into one of the two groups, where each played one best-of-three (Bo3) series against the remaining three to determine which two teams per group would advance to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

G2 Esports were seeded into Group A alongside FABRIKEN, need more DM and Apexis, and they did not need long to demonstrate why they were regarded as favourites to win the tournament. Even though Oscar “mixwell” Ca\u00f1ellas Colocho and co. stumbled a bit in the opening match against FABRIKEN (2-1), they picked up the pace and swept both Apexis and need more DM to secure top spot in their group.<\/p>\n

In Group B, we saw Prodigy and PartyParrots fight for group supremacy. While both ended the group stage with 2-1 record, it was Prodigy who came out on top thanks to a slightly better map differential.<\/p>\n

With the group stage set and done, PartyParrots, Prodigy, G2 Esports and FABRIKEN advanced into the final stage of the competition, while Apexis, need more DM, Bonk and breadHUNTERS were sent home with a \u20ac250 consolation prize. As the top seed from Group A, G2 were paired with PartyParrots, whereas Group B winners Prodigy drew a favourable fixture against FABRIKEN.<\/p>\n
