As both the Upper Bracket and Lower Bracket finals have concluded, Immortals and Sentinels will be the teams to watch in the Grand Final.
Immortals have looked like one of the most dominant teams in the tournament as of now, only dropping two maps in total on their way to the Grand Final. They did struggle when playing XSET, however, losing their first map in Haven. Immortals recovered on Ascent and Bind to close things out. In their match against Gen.G they didn’t hold back and demolished them 2-0. Luminosity Gaming was their upper bracket final opponent, who they defeated 13-0 on Bind. Luminosity came back through Ascent to level it up, but Icebox went the way of Immortals.
Sentinels had a less consistent route throughout the tournament. They lost in their first series against Luminosity and dropped to the lower bracket. They made an insane run however, defeating the likes of Andbox, Gen.G, XSET and ultimately got revenge on Luminosity Gaming in a rematch to reach the Grand Final.
Both teams have already qualified for Challengers 2 but are still playing for the cash prize and the title. XSET and Luminosity Gaming, who got eliminated in the matches prior to the Grand Final, also received qualification for Challengers 2. The winner of VALORANT Challengers Stage 1 will go home with a $20.000 prize.
