At the Masters: Copenhagen, Fnatic had their best finish in a Tier 1 tournament since Masters: Reykjavík 2021. 5 LOUD LOUD has only been defeated in three matches in the entire calendar year. They've had a disappointing performance in Copenhagen and their Brazilian fans will be hoping for an even stronger performance at Valorant Champions 2022. 6 Leviatán Leviatán were one of the better teams in Copenhagen and will be a team to be reckoned with in Istanbul. They have shown that LATAM is more than just a region dominated by a single team, namely KRÜ Esports. 7 DRX DRX is the best team in South Korea and maintain their performance by qualifying for international Valorant tournaments.
