The Valorant group has unearthed one more curse that would damage a workforce’s possibilities of successful. This explicit curse is for groups taking part in within the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) LANs so the informal and ranked gamers can take a breather. Dubbed the Valorant second place at LAN curse, the identify just about explains the identical. The idea that followers have crafted is that at any time when a workforce locations second at a world occasion, the workforce finally ends up exiting the subsequent event pretty early on and has little to no success. Paper Rex’s departure from Valorant Champions 2022 makes the curse very plausible.
The groups affected by the brand new Valorant curse
To decode this newly dug-out Valorant LAN curse, allow us to have a look at all of the groups that completed second and went on to lose the next event. The curse is believed to have began with the second place end of Fnatic at VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík, the place it completed second to Sentinels. Following this, the EMEA [Europe, Middle East, and Africa] squad did not even qualify for the subsequent Masters at Berlin that adopted within the coming months.
Within the subsequent LAN, VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin, Workforce Envy (now OpTic Gaming) positioned second to Gambit Esports and finally went on to bomb out of Valorant Champions 2021, the place the squad crashed on the group stage.
Within the first Valorant World Champions aka Valorant Champions 2021, Gambit got here second after shedding to Acend, the primary champion workforce of Valorant esports. The very subsequent worldwide occasion that adopted was the VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík and sadly Gambit missed out on this occasion.
The primary LAN of the 12 months – Masters Reykjavik – noticed the emergence of LOUD Esports, which was the runner-up of the occasion. Persevering with the curse, LOUD didn't have an excellent LAN at VCT 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen because it exited on the group stage.
The final workforce to have now been affected by the curse is the Singaporean workforce of Paper Rex. The Asia Pacific (APAC) squad confirmed nice resilience and turned up large at Masters Copenhagen and misplaced by a slim margin within the grand ultimate to FunPlus Phoenix (FPX). After inserting second in Copenhagen, Paper Rex has now been eradicated from Valorant Champions 2022 within the group stage.
Following this defeat, Paper Rex’s CEO and Co-Founder Nikhil Hathiramani on Twitter, “F this curse bullshit - it’s simply not meant to be. We had an excellent run in 2022, however that’s it for us in #VCT this 12 months. GGWP - I’m going to Istanbul however it simply feels bizarre now.”
Valorant Champions 2022 has been in full swing and the playoffs bracket is sort of set. The subsequent stage of the event is ready to kick off on ninth September and conclude on 18th September with the grand ultimate and a newly topped Valorant Champions squad.
