Not really an "underdog run".
Acend was the 2nd highest EMEA seed going into the event and had just placed top 8 at masters berlin.

I hope EDG makes it to finals. Undoubtedly the best run ever.

EDG lower bracket run + revenge against liquid in lowers round 2/lower finals would be crazy

EDG's just due to the sheer difference in skill/level right at this point in valorant. But for upsets, its still Zeta since KRU were still known as scrim demons at that time so it wasnt a huge upset.

KRU has the most upsets, zeta was the most entertaining, and EDG is just skill diffing every team they play (except TL ((for now)) )

Yeah right now kru is my favourite.
That win versus sentinels was crazy.
The fnc game was also so close.
and of course they went toe to toe with gambit.

I think if edg makes top 3 it would become the best run/my favourite run.

rn the chances to make it top 4 are so high, they are prob going to play vs prx, but top 3... holy china will dominate the world 😭

KRU's underdog run was unknown to newcomers outside SA, but even ZETA didn'd qualify to the Masters Tokyo, everyone is talking about it, this is the first time VALORANT became a public topic, brought the Masters to Japan, and ZETA's journey was tougher than EDG's, had saved 4 match points against NIP and turned around to the playoff
