The two teams mirrored Jett, Gekko, and Omen. And Team International added Neon and Raze, to make a three Duelist comp. A quick pistol round saw Team International get the Spike down and go up first.A 3K by Dohyeonfollowed to keep Team International in the lead.
Aclean round went to Team CN, preventing Team International from converting their bonus. They tied it quite easily, shutting down the attacking push from Team Intl. Soon enough,Team CN took the leadon a Flawless round.
An absolutely bonkers teleport by Mixwell as Omen then happened, showcasing just how incredible mobility can be on this new map. This is where Team International started to pull ahead,with a 3K from Mixwell and great Neon plays from mittiii.
The Duelists began to shine for Intl, extending their lead over Team CN. We also got a look atWingman jumping over gaps with the Spike, as the crowd went wild. The sides switched with Team International up 8:4 at the half.
The second half pistol round started with mittiii mistiming some movement as Neon,falling off the map. That helped CN grab the pistol round. They started to close the gap by taking the next, hoping to grab the bonus round as well.
That didn’t happen,as Dohyeon took out threeto get Team International to nine. Then the teams traded rounds, but Team International reached double digits. And more players found themselves falling off the sides of Abyss.
That still didn’t keep Team International from winning rounds during this VALORANT Masters Shanghai Showmatch. Finally, though, Team CNgot another round to their nameto reach eight in order to try and close the gap.
A 3K from XiaoJuecame in for Team CN to get even closer. They hit 10 rounds and we had ourselves a very close contest late in the game. Soon enough,Team CN won an anti-eco roundto tie it at 11.A Flawless Round took them to match point, and in the next, Team CN won on Abyss in front of their home crowd.
