Here the Sentinels took revenge on Luminosity Gaming (2: 1), earning a place in the grand final of the championship.
Immortals, on the other hand, spent the entire championship in one breath, first beating XSET (2: 1), and then Gen.G Esports (2: 0). In the final of the upper bracket, the team defeated Luminosity Gaming (2: 1), thus securing a place in the grand final and a one-map advantage.
At the end of the tournament, four teams qualified for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021: North America Stage 1 Challengers 2 - Sentinels, Immortals, Luminosity Gaming and XSET.
