FPX made an incredible run through the lower bracket after they lost to Fnatic in upper bracket quarterfinals. First, they defeated Guild Esports and DRX before finally taking down Fnatic in lower semifinals. It was their first win vs. Fnatic after four defeats throughout Stage 2.
In the lower bracket final, FPX took down reigning Masters champions OpTic Gaming 3-1 in an epic EU vs. NA clash. Eventually, they faced APAC's Paper Rex, who defeated OpTic 2-1 in the upper bracket final.
In the Grand final, FPX defeated Paper Rex in a nail-biting best-of-five series. Alongside a live audience in Copenhagen, almost 800 thousand peak viewers witnessed the match go to distance, as FPX secured the win 3-2 after full five maps.

It is admirable to see FPX fight off all the issues they faced in 2022 and secure a Masters title.
The team couldn't even attend Stage 1 Masters in Reykjavik earlier this year due to travel restrictions caused by the war in Ukraine. However, they showed up again in Stage 2, falling only to Fnatic throughout EMEA Challengers.
Furthermore, FPX had to play the entire Group stage in Copenhagen with a substitute because SUYGETSU couldn't get his visa in time. Despite joining the team mid-tournament and lacking practice with the team, he showed up big time and earned himself a finals MVP with his performance.
A month and a half before the pinnacle of 2022 Valorant competition, ten teams have already booked their tickets to Istanbul:
Six more Champions places are up for grabs for the rest of the teams. Final spots will be determined via regional Last Chance Qualifiers in August. LCQ will feature the best performing teams throughout the year from EMEA, North America, APAC, South America, and East Asia.
みんなが一番待ち望んでた機能のひとつ。ついにお披露目できる日が来て、正直めちゃくちゃ嬉しい。クラン、始動です。 ひとことで言うとこう:普段プレイしてるゲームには「積み重ね」があってもいい。しかも、いつも一緒に回してる連中と一緒に、積み上げていく形で。 クランって何? クランは恒久的なチーム。名前があって、短いタグがあって、自分でデザインできる紋章があって、トレジャリーって呼ぶ共有ウォレットがある。 以上。ほんとにそれだけ。特定のゲームで上手くなる必要もないし、決まったスケジュールもいらない。必要なのは「一緒に遊びたい数人」だけ。 じゃあクランを持ったあとに何が起きるのか、順番に話していこう。

Solo queue tier lists rank champions on win rate. We ranked all 173 on the prize money they actually earned: $380,308.98 across 523,950 League games in 12 months. The top three are Soraka, Zoe and Jarvan IV, and not one ADC made the cut.
