SCARZ Defeats Jadeite to Win VCL 2023 Japan Split 2

The most popular Valorant Challengers League in the world, VCL 2023 Japan Split 2 concluded earlier today on 4^th June crowning SCARZ as the champion following its close 3-2 victory against Jadeite in the grand final.

It was quite shocking to witness that the top two teams from the VCL 2023 Japan Split 1, FENNEL and Crazy Raccoon, failed to reach the grand finals following a tough series of matches across the regular season and playoffs.

On the other hand, Jadeite who had failed to qualify for the previous event gave its absolute best shot and managed to reach all the way to the grand final, giving stiff competition to the eventual winners SCARZ.

As a result of this accomplishment, SCARZ will go on to represent Japan in the upcoming VCT 2023 Ascension Pacific which is scheduled to take place from 28^th June to 9^th July.

Clear from the statistics shared above, FENNEL and Crazy Raccoon are the regional favorites and somehow both of them committed several blunders in this tournament to book a third and fourth place finish respectively.

Taking advantage of their poor run, SCARZ who had placed third in the previous split, and Jadeite who did not even compete in the last event, shifted gears and surprised everyone by reaching the grand final.

SCARZ was the team that had prevented Jadeite from qualifying for the last event and once again they denied them a chance to celebrate victory by taking them down in a down-to-the-wire thriller.
