The Giants esports club from Malaga was on the brink of victory in its debut at the World Cup Valorant. They won one map and came close to winning the second as well, but the EDward Gaming team came from behind to close out the match 2-1.
But it is not the end, because Giants is still in the competition. For their next challenge, they will face KRÜ this Friday at 21:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular time.
Giants lose to EDward Gaming but have another chance at the Valorant World Cup
The Galician player Salvaje Fitinho finished the international premiere with 72 kills to his credit and an ACS of 278, the best data of the meeting. He also took the duelist clash with the very young ZmjjKK, a star in the making.
Giants ran into EDward Gaming and also with a lack of strength on the third map and with details to correct. The duel is decisive against KRÜ this Friday, because whoever loses goes home. Paper Rex defeated the South American block hours before and will face EDG in the next round. Whoever falls in this series will face the winner of the KRÜ-Giants duel for a spot in the Valorant Champions playoffs.
KRÜ, the organization with Argentine and Chilean roots chaired by former soccer player Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, obtained the last place in the American league but surprised by qualifying for the Champions League in its 'last chance qualifier'. The KRÜ team has been dominant on the South American continent during 2021 and 2022 and has also completed good roles in its usual presences in Masters and Champions.
Very tough confrontation against EDG.
