Yesterday the T1 Invitational came to a conclusion. Check out all results and the winners of the big Valorant tournament.
They have come to stay. Gen.G recently created a Valorant Roster and it has introduced itself with a bang in the competitive scene of Valorant. Yesterday, May 4, they literally destroyed their renowned opponents - including Sentinels, Team brax, and Team Shroud. It was all well worth it because the winner was rewarded with $20,000 out of the total $25,000 prize pool - not bad for a game that has only recently entered its closed beta. The remaining $5,000 went to the second place.

The tournament
The first matches were marked all decided with 2-0 and the winners quickly secured their ticket to the second round - Gen.G, mouseSpaz, Sentinels and Team brax. Team Shroud also did well at first but was then outclassed by mouseSpaz. Sentinels could only score one victory. The big final was between Gen.G. and Team brax. The two had already fought it ought before in the winner's finals and Gen.G. came out victorious. The grand finals gave us more of the same, but brax managed to put up more of a fight this time.
