Revenge drama ensued in the Grand Final of Valorant Champions 2023 after Evil Geniuses (EG) defeated Paper Rex with a final score of 3-1, claiming its team as Valorant esports world champions!

The finals this time presented a fierce battle. Paper Rex, who came from the upper bracket, had the advantage to ban two maps, but EG had a mentality that was hard to contain.

The opening two maps of the finals were extremely tight, with EG winning the first map Split 13-10, and Paper Rex replying on the second map Ascent with a score of 11-13. Sadly, that was the end of f0rsakeN et al. in this final.

EG went crazy in the third map Bind with a landslide score of 13-5, thanks to a very good counter Hero strategy. The momentum was not wasted by Demon1 et al., and closed the Valorant Champions 2023 Grand Final with a 13-10 victory on map Lotus while ensuring the world title.

EG's victory over Paper Rex in the top match felt even more special because the Americas League representative managed to avenge the defeat in the Upper Bracket Final. As for Paper Rex, falling in the Grand Final was the only defeat they experienced during the Valorant Champions 2023 event.

The victory over Paper Rex made Evil Geniuses (EG) the Valorant World Champion and the right to take home 1 million USD (equivalent to 15 billion rupiah) in cash. Paper Rex in second place is still "big money" by winning 400,000 USD.

The end of Valorant Champions 2023 also marks a big improvement from the official Valorant esports competition that started to get attention from esports enthusiasts.
