OXG Qualifies for Valorant Challengers League!

The brand new Oxygen Esports Valorant roster breezed through the 256-team bracket to qualify for the Valorant Challengers League! 

Going into the Open Bracket Qualifiers, OXG was the No. 3 seed and they lived up to expectations, sweeping three teams in a row to move onto the Top 32 double elimination bracket. OXG took down their first opponent 99 Strength, 2-1, with strong showings in maps 1 and 3 to move on to the next round, where they drew up against 14 seeded Mochi Fanclub. They followed that with a 2-0 sweep of Mochi Fanclub and a 2-1 win over No. 11 seed Nearest Airport, moving OXG one win away from qualifying for VCL.

Without losing a series, OXG made it all the way to the end of the Upper Bracket where they faced off with Disguised, a new team owned and operated by popular streamer DisguisedToast. Starting off slow, Disguised made quick work of the OXG roster in game one, winning 13-4. OXG would start to heat up later in game 2, but fell short losing 13-10, putting them in a do-or-die scenario to qualify through the Lower Bracket. 

Still only needing the one win to qualify, OXG showed up on the final day against The Silk Road trying to prove that what happened against Disguised was just a fluke. Map one was a long 26-round affair, with OXG taking it in OT 14-12. Map two, however, was a much different story, with OXG wiping the floor with TSR 13-1 to qualify for VCL!
