Valorant’s second big tournament concluded over the weekend. The First Strike Regional Finals are finished and we know all the winners.
Yesterday was the big finale of the Valorant First Strike event series. After qualifiers and numerous tournaments, only the best teams in each region made it to the First Strike Regional Finals. Let’s take a look at who took the title in the respective regions.
North America
The first place in what’s arguably the most contested Valorant region went in the way of 100 Thieves. The final clash was against TSM and it ended with a decisive 3:1 victory in favor of 100 Thieves.

CIS
The best team in the CIS region was forZe. The grand finals were quite the contest against Team Singularity. In the end, forZe took the series 3:2.
Turkey
Unlike all the regions above, Turkey’s playoffs had a double-elimination bracket instead of single. Despite that, BBL Esports remained undefeated throughout the event. In the finals, they faced Futbolist and took the series 3:0.
