A brand new European stage had been announced for the Valorant Ignition Series. It was the turn of the German organization Allied Esports to enter into a partnership with Riot Games. More than €15,000 were at stake.
G2 Esports stumbled but didn't fall. Despite a group stage where they lost for the first time, Oscar "mixwell" Cañellas Colocho's team proved to be unstoppable in the playoffs. With an air of déjà vu, they won the tournament and continue to dominate Europe.
