Valorant Champions Day 4: Team Liquid Secures Clutch Win Against Sentinels

Sentinels was “the” team to beat among the North American contenders at Valorant Champions but things could not have gotten any worse for the team. The Stage 1 and 2 winner finds itself in a sticky situation after losing 2-1 to Team Liquid last night.

Team Liquid is now through to the playoffs and it is one of the most dominant teams at the event currently. With the win under its belt, Liquid is now the third European team to make it to the playoffs which will kick off on 8th December.
