The Best Team Won
All year, Gambit has been a team of myth and legend to those in the know. Often referred to as ‘scrimbit,’ the team has made a name for itself utterly obliterating the world’s best teams… in practice games. Finally, though, Masters Berlin saw Gambit fulfill its true potential and live up to the hype that professional players all across the world have been talking about in interviews, streams, and on social media. These guys are the real deal, and they were comfortably the best team at Masters Berlin.
Sure, 100T beat them in the group stage, and even Japan’s Crazy Racoon ran them close. But even in those wobbly moments, there was always a feeling Gambit was merely fumbling, rather than actually being outmatched. They annihilated 100T for 70% of that aforementioned loss, and a win is a win versus Crazy Racoon — even the best players get nervous, right?
In the end, Gambit put on commanding performances versus some of the biggest and most feared esports organizations in Valorant. They crushed Vision Strikers, embarrassed G2 esports, and never even looked in danger once versus Envy in the final. Gambit has to be favorites now to win Champions in December.
