Leviatán and Trace Esports have qualified for Group C's Winners Match after defeating Talon Esports and Team Vitality, respectively.
The VCT 2024 Americas champions kicked off today's action with a victory over the Thai-majority squad. Despite having some issues to close Bind, the Americans completed the comeback in the first map of the series after winning the final four rounds.
On Ascent, both teams swapped sides after Leviatán grabbed an early 8-4 lead. Although the Asians managed to reduce the difference to just one round, Leviatán cut off Talon Esports' wings again and stopped their opponents from forcing the third map.
Meanwhile, Trace Esports produced the upset of the day after defeating Team Vitality. The Chinese roster won the first map of the series after a four-round overtime. Although the Bees managed to force the third map after a one-sided victory on Sunset, Trace Esports surprisingly won on Bind to become the first Chinese squad to win a match at this year's Valorant Champions.
These results mean that Leviatán and Trace Esports will meet in Group C's Winners Match. Meanwhile, Team Vitality and Talon Esports will clash in the Elimination Match.
