After the side switch, the players of EDward Gaming could not wake up, thus allowing Team Liquid to quickly take the lead in the series — 13:5.

Then the teams moved to the Breeze map, which became the choice of Team Liquid. At the same time, there was much more struggle here, since the teams showed an equal first half, albeit with a minimal advantage in favor of the “liquid” — 7:5. After the side switch, the Chinese team slightly seized the initiative, managing to turn the card into overtime. And yet, the class of Team Liquid players allowed them to avoid the desider, and at the same time knock EDward Gaming out of the championship — 14:12.

Note that according to the results of the group stage, the Leviatán, DRX and OpTic Gaming teams have already guaranteed themselves participation in the VALORANT Champions 2022 playoffs.
