The international roster, led by standout performances from Babybay and dicey, dominated the North American champions across all three maps to claim their first major VALORANT championship and the $300,000 first-place prize in front of a sold-out crowd of passionate esports fans.

The grand final began on Ascent, where FaZe established early control with disciplined team play and precise individual mechanics. Babybay was particularly impressive on the map, finishing with 24 kills and a 1.67 rating while consistently winning crucial duels against Sentinels star duelist TenZ. FaZe took the map 13-8, setting the tone for what would become a dominant evening of tactical VALORANT that showcased their superior preparation and team chemistry throughout the tournament.

Map two on Bind proved to be the closest contest of the series, with Sentinels showing flashes of the form that carried them through the lower bracket to reach the grand final. However, FaZe composed gameplay and superior utility usage ultimately proved decisive, with IGL calls orchestrating perfect executes that left Sentinels scrambling for answers. The 13-11 victory put FaZe on match point and left Sentinels facing elimination with their backs firmly against the wall.

The final map on Haven was a clinic in professional VALORANT execution, as FaZe closed out the series with a convincing 13-7 performance that left no doubt about the deserving champions. Dicey emergence as a clutch performer was evident throughout the map, as he secured several crucial rounds with spectacular multi-kill sequences that had the crowd on its feet. His chemistry with Babybay created constant pressure on Sentinels defensive setups, forcing rotations that opened up opportunities for the rest of the FaZe lineup.

For FaZe Clan, the championship represents the culmination of months of preparation and roster building that began with significant organizational investment in their VALORANT division. The team perfect 16-0 map record throughout the tournament demonstrates the level of preparation and individual skill that sets championship teams apart from the competition. Their ability to adapt their strategies against different opponents while maintaining consistent individual performance has established them as the new standard-bearers in competitive VALORANT.

Sentinels, despite the defeat, should be proud of their remarkable lower bracket run that saw them eliminate several favored teams to reach the grand final.

The North American organization will undoubtedly use this experience as motivation for future tournaments, knowing they have the individual talent to compete with anyone when their team chemistry clicks.
