The second Valorant Game Changers North America concluded last night. With Cloud9 still being the unbeaten, undisputed queens of Valorant NA. C9White beat their long-time rivals Shopify Rebellion in the finals with a score of 3-1 to lift the trophy.
How Dominant Have Cloud9 White Been?
The recent change in the C9W valorant roster was quite tense when AndieDro stepped down from the roster and Bob came in to replace here in the 5 women playing roster. The hopes were not so high with the new roster in VGC as they didn’t have a lot of time to prepare for the tournament.
But the team proved everyone wrong and went on to win the championship 6 times in a row. The team defeated ZMM White, Misfits Black, and GenG Black to qualify for the Main Event. C9W had 37 wins and just one defeat in the entire event. Cloud9 White started the main event with a strong show defeating Immortals 2-0. But the thunder crashed in the Upper-Semi Final, where Shopify Rebellion handed them their first and only defeat in the event.

C9W had been pushed to the lower bracket and fans were scared that they might get knocked out. But they showed no sign of grief from one loss and dominated the Lower bracket quarter-finals defeating Sanri-o’s. They defeated Dignitas in the Lower bracket Semi-Finals and TSM X in the lower bracket finals to face Shopify Rebellion in the Grand Finals of Valorant Game Changers.
The Valorant Game Changers Grand Finals
Cloud9 White was facing off against the opponent who had handed them their only defeat in the entire event. Though it was a close one, the experts were favoring Shopify Rebellions to win the tournament and end Cloud9 White’s streak. The match started with the Ice-cold Map Icebox where it seemed as if history might repeat itself. Shopify Rebellions won the first Map 13-7. They dominated the first map by not giving C9W a brink of space to work on.
The second map Ascent started and it seemed like SFR will take the map home and build a 2 map cushioning for themselves. But C9W bounced back as champions and won the close map 13-11. The 5 map series was not tied 1-1. The fans were getting some hope that C9W can get back in form now.
The third map was underway where C9W had a dominant start but later started to lose winnable rounds and things looked rough for them. But somehow they managed to pull off Fracture. C9W leads the series 2-1 now. C9W needed 1 map to be the champions and SFR needed 2 maps. It looked a tough way for SFR now.
Breeze started as the fourth map and both teams exchanged rounds to and fro. Neither team dominated until the first overtime, where C9W won the map 14-12 and won the series 3-1. Cloud9 White was crowned as NA Valorant Champions for the sixth time in a row.
