The Grand Final started on Ascent, where M80 struggled as defenders against G2 Esports’ unique strategies. Even though they brought back some rounds on the attacker side, the map went to ShahZam’s squad, with OXY turning up the heat.

After that, they moved forward to M80’s map pick Fracture, where G2 struggled to find footing against the Canadians' attacks. Fracture and Icebox were a showdown of the strength of M80’s roster, winning them in 13-5 and 13-5 fashions, respectively.

The Canadian squad won $11,000 as the champions of this event, but more importantly, they scored 10 circuit points, helping them climb the steps to competing internationally. This outcome has been fascinating to see after the massive roster change of M80, acquiring great players like zander and eeiu.

3-1 vs. @G2VALORANT and with that we are the MSI winners.

My team is so crazy I didn't have to do a thing during the last two maps. Feels great but we still have ALOT of things to work on. Truly believe we aren't even close to our potential.

See you during Split #2. 👊
