Team Vitality have defeated Talon Esports in Group C's first elimination match and will play against Leviatán for a spot in the Valorant Champions Seoul playoffs.
The Bees defeated Talon Esports on Lotus (13-6) and Sunset (13-8) as the Thai-majority squad became the first Pacific roster to be knocked out of the competition. They have joined Bilibili Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix as the first three sides to be eliminated.
Kimmie "Kicks" Laasner was arguably the best player of the series as the Estonian finished with 40 kills and an ACS of 273. Meanwhile, the promising Thai talent Papaphat "Primmie" Sriprapha finished the game with 35 kills and an ACS of 237.
With this result, EMEA and Americas are the only regions that still have their four teams alive. This could change later today as FUT Esports will play in Group D's first elimination match against Paper Rex.
