Gambit sweeps Envy to become VALORANT Masters Berlin Champions. They become the second Masters champions in VALORANT esports history, succeeding the Reykjavik champions Sentinels.
Gambit Esports have had a great run in VALORANT Masters Berlin. Their path wasn't flawless, ending up having to beat Crazy Racoon in the group stage to earn their spot in the playoffs. But it would be smooth sailing for them from then. Throughout the playoffs, Gambit Esports took a page off the defending champions' playbook and became the VALORANT Masters Berlin champions without dropping a single map. In the second round of the playoffs, they even handed G2 Esports a perfect map, scoring 13-0 against the popular team. G2 Esports, on the other hand, took the loss in stride, claiming that they've delivered on their promise – making history in Masters Berlin by getting the first-ever 13-0 loss in history.
In the finals, they squared up against Team Envy, who previously scored an upset against defending champions Sentinels. Just like Gambit, Team Envy swept the competition in the previous round, scoring 2-0 against 100 Thieves in the semis. Having lost to 100 Thieves in the group stages, this sets up Gambit with a formidable foe. Until this point, Team Envy has built itself up as a strong competitor – upsetting two teams on their way to the Finals. However, their underdog power won't intimidate Gambit. Instead, Gambit used their momentum against them, shutting them down with a 3-0 sweep in the finals.
