The curtains fall, the spotlights gather on one spot, and in the heart of London, at the prestigious Red Bull Gaming Sphere, one team stands proud above all others. G2 Gozen made history by emerging victorious in the first-ever Red Bull Instalock tournament, organized following the huge success of Red Bull's "A League of it's own". After facing off against legendary opponents like Shopify Rebellion, the champions of VCT Game Changers 2023, G2 Gozen rose above and, through their skill and strategy, secured a 3-1 win in a thrilling battle that left VALORANT fans worldwide on the edge of their seats.
