This past weekend we saw the best European Valorant teams battling it all out for a share of the $50,000 USD prize pool, as well as having the best team in Europe as their title. After an intense Finals, G2 managed to come out on top displaying some of the best Valorant gameplay we’ve ever seen. Here’s how it all went down:
Final placements + winnings:
- 1st – G2 Esports – $25,000
- 2nd – fish123 – $15,000
- 3rd-4th – Ninjas in Pyjamas – $5,000
- 3rd-4th – need more DM – $5,000
- 5th-6th – nolpenki
- 5th-6th – PartyParrots
- 7th-8th – forZe
- 7th-8th – Prodigy
How did they do it?
G2 kicked off the WePlay Valorant invitational by winning 3 matches in group stage. 1st versus Nolpenki, 2nd versus PartyParrots and 3rd against Ninjas In Pyjamas. This got G2 in the Semifinals where they would meet team “need more dm”, a very strong hungarian team. First map was Bind and it ended 13-3 in favor of G2. Second was Ascent, and even though the Hungarian roster gave them more of a fight this time round, G2 still managed to take the win, 13-7.
Finals
After their Semifinal win, G2 went up against Fish123 which was arguably the strongest european team during the closed beta, as well as for a certain period after the game’s release. First map of the best of 3 series was Bind, which G2 went on to win 13-9. After Bind came Ascent and G2 displayed another dominant performance to be crowned champions of the WePlay Valorant invitational.

What’s next for G2?
G2 at the time of writing, still have only 4 players signed to the organization. During WePlay and a couple other events, David “davidp” Prins was their stand-in, and he showed that he has what it takes to compete against the best in Valorant. Will G2 sign Davidp? Or will they opt for someone else? We can only wait and see, however the G2 5th man announcement should be arriving sometime this week.
