South Korean Team Wins Arena of Valor World Cup

July 2021 was a historic month for Arena of Valor MOBA players. The reason is, this month the first international Arena of Valor World Cup has been held. In the grand final which was held on July 28, 2021, the South Korean team against Thailand was won by South Korea.

The South Korean Team’s Journey to Become a Champion

The Arena of Valor World Cup international tournament will take place from July 17, 2021 to July 28, 2021 in Los Angeles. The champion was grabbed by the South Korean team who beat the Thai team in the grand final. Before winning the title in the Arena of Valor World Cup, the South Korean team managed to win in the group stage by beating the Chinese Taipei Wildcard and European teams. However, this team’s move in the playoffs was not smooth because they had to go through the loser bracket to reach the grand final against the Thai team.

Winning convincingly with a 3-0 score in the quarter-finals against North America, and in the semifinals against Chinese Taipei, the South Korean team had to admit the Thai team’s skills were better in the final winner bracket. This team lost 3-0 to the Thai team, thus making them have to face the Chinese Taipei team again in the final round of the loser bracket.

Having beaten China Taipei before in the semifinal winner bracket, South Korea was confident enough to repeat that moment. In the end, the South Korean team repeated it again in the final round of the loser bracket with a score of 3-0 which made this team entitled to the grand final against the Thai team. In the grand final, the Thai team seemed to have stepped one foot to grab the championship title. The reason is because, previously in this event, the White Elephant team had beaten South Korea.

Due to the overconfidence of the Thai team, and the unyielding of South Korea, the end of the eSports drama from the Arena of Valor World Cup was inversely proportional to the previous results. With the Best of 7 system, the Thai team had to recognize the superior skill of the South Korean team with a tight score of 3-4.

For this victory, the South Korean team was entitled to a sum of $200,000, while the Thai team was entitled to a sum of $100,000. In contrast to Thailand’s achievements, the Indonesian team that participated in this event ended up in 9-12th place because they were at the bottom of the group phase, which was also inhabited by Chinese Taipei and Vietnam.

Eleven and twelve with Indonesia, Singapore also had the same fate as being bottom of the group stage inhabited by Thailand and North America. Meanwhile, Vietnam is still better than Singapore and Indonesia. The Southeast Asian nation finished 5-8 after losing in the quarter-final playoffs. For his defeat, Vietnam is entitled to cash of $ 18,000.

The Arena of Valor World Cup’s first championship crown has been awarded. In this championship, many parties see this event as showing greater potential in the future. The foundation for the big MOBA AOV games championship has been set, and this championship deserves to continue in the future.
