Egypt's Anubis Crowned Champions Of The Red Bull Campus Clutch World Finals
It has been a gruelling, depleting, yet exhilarating journey to the Red Bull Campus Clutch World Finals. With over 25,000 of the world's future bright minds competing in University-level VALORANT, only one team of five could come out on top.
Anubis has officially been coronated as the world's best University VALORANT team, with the Egyptian side beating Project S (Portugal) 3-2 in the final.
With a convincing victory to top off their lengthy run, Anubis showcased great team cohesion and decisiveness to overcome waves of aggression in the final, just as they have throughout the entire tournament.
Ultimately, the best team came out on top, with Anubis surviving the group of death against all odds and putting on a showcase in the grand finals.
Surprisingly, both NA teams in Bay Area Vandals (USA) and BTR (Canada) both fell in the earlier stages despite being some of the top performers. South Korea's recent graduates bowed out of lengthy competitive gaming careers in emphatic style, having been the entertainers of the weekend - although they couldn't put the cherry on top of their goodbye cake.
The disappointment of the weekend came in the way of mostly-professional team Turkey, who came in as hot favourites. Picking up just one win in their final group stage game (albeit against a solid Peru side), the pre-event favourites were forced to watch championship Sunday from the sidelines.
Egypt's Anubis now take home $20,000 in prize money, and a qualification spot for the VCT Masters.
