The first day of the VCT EMEA Challengers Playoff passed quickly. The best VALORANT teams from Europe, Turkey and the CIS began a fierce battle to go to the Masters Berlin in Berlin and finally prove that they are the best of this year. Four matches were played on the first day of the match andwe saw the matches of Turkish teams Oxygen Esports and Fire Flux Esports .
Natus Vincere, one of the most prestigious teams in Europe, defeated Team Liquid despite joining with a very new roster, dropping them into the losers cluster. Thus, Natus Vincere was paired with Acend. We don't know if this is good for Natus Vincere as Mehmet Yağız “cNed” İpek's team Acend is definitely not an easy bite.
In the second match of the first day, Guild Esports narrowly defeated forZe to complete the match in the winners' cluster and became the rival of Gambit Esports.
Oxygen left this fight with a clear forehead. After the match, which especially attracted the attention of Göktuğ “XiSTOU” Canciğer, Oxygen pushed his opponent into the losers' cluster and was matched with G2 Esports.
Another Turkish team, Fire Flux, was matched with FunPlus Phoenix, one of the most formidable opponents in this tournament. Although they started the fight like lightning, unfortunately they could not continue their performance. After both maps slipped from their hands one after the other, our team fell into the losers' cluster. FunPlus Phoenix, on the other hand, matched with SuperMassive Blaze, the third Turkish team in the tournament, after these victories.
