A constant tug-of-war

UCAM Esports hit the score first, taking the first map of the series in Haven (10-13), after an unstoppable start that served to maintain the advantage in the last rounds of the map. The Blaugranes soon reacted, and Bind (13-6) was the scene where Lucas Rojo showed that this final would not be a simple formality for the Murcia team. The third map in Sunset (9-13) left the Barcelona players touched, but not sunk, and forced them to win the last two maps if they wanted to become league champions and qualify for the promotion of the top European competition.

Maniek and KPZET performed a memorable performance at Ascent (13-11), which seemed to go overtime after a run by UCAM that put them to the point of forcing overtime. The streak of the Murcians was not enough to reverse the situation, and everything would be decided in the fifth and final map in Split. The last map of the final was marked by an initial partial of Barça of 9-0, a situation that put between the sword and the wall the team of the university. The reaction of Thinkii and his five players was not made to beg, and they managed to shorten distances with the culers until 11-9. The two kills of captain Vorwenn and Maniek in the twenty-first round were key to forcing the final match point, where the appearance of KPZET, with a 3k, sentenced the game and gave the Blaugranes their first VALORANT Rising: Spain x MediaMarkt Intel.
