Week 4 Recap: All of the action from EMEA’s Regional Leagues

Mar 14, 2022

With Spain and MENA’s playoffs already in full swing, as we reach the pointy end the stakes are high and the level of gameplay even higher. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into all of the action from this week.

VALORANT Regional League DACH: Evolution

Of all EMEA’s Regional Leagues, DACH: Evolution remains one of the most contentious. While MOUZ secured themselves a 2 - 0 victory over Wave Esports following a series of back and forth games, FOKUS are hot on their heels with a dominant 4 - 0 week.

Angry Titans are also in the hunt for a playoff spot, though. After a struggle on Bind against Wave Esports, the squad secured 3 games this week following a standout performance against CGN Esports. Who will snatch the DACH: Evolution crown? That remains to be seen, but Week 5 promises to be a banger.

VALORANT Regional League East: Surge

Week 4 marked the end of the regular season for East: Surge, cementing NOM eSports, Anonymo Mentos, Anorthosis Famagusta Esports, and AWARIA’s playoff spots. With NOM still out in front without losing a single series, their rivals will have to fight extra hard to topple this flawless score.

Can NOM take the crown without dropping a game? We’ll have to wait and see, but all eyes are on the squad to perform.

VALORANT Regional League France: Revolution

Oh how the mighty fall, as Sector One continues to beat out some of the esports world’s biggest organisations to claim the top spot in the race for first. Drawing against both Team Vitality and Team BDS following some impressive games with French Sentinel, Chamber, Sector One are toppling titans and taking names.

All eyes were on the highly anticipated match between OG and Team BDS, however, which saw the former squad walk away with a 2 - 0 victory.

VALORANT Regional League MENA: Resilience

MENA’s Regional League is split into two different sections: GCC & Iraq, and Levant & North Africa.

GCC & Iraq

GCC & Iraq’s leg of MENA: Resilience came to a dramatic close during Week 4. With Team Falcons and Team Duelist both proving themselves as ones to watch throughout the entire season, the latter fell at the final hurdle on Ascent, where the Falcons obliterated their prey.

Team Falcons now move on to take on Team RA’AD in the MENA: Resilience grand final, where the region’s international representative will be selected.

Grand Final

Levant & North Africa

In Levant and North Africa the regular season came to a close with Team RA’AD on top. Pulling out the Skye on Haven to decimate Geekay Esports, the series ended after a decisive 2 - 0.

The game has only just begun, however, as Team RA’AD will need to survive the might of Team Falcons if they want to progress into the wider international tournament.

Semifinals

Grand Final

VALORANT Regional League Northern Europe: Polaris

As the regular season comes to a close in Northern Europe, some of esports’ most familiar faces have claimed themselves spots in the playoffs. Alliance, EXCEL, TENSTAR, and TUNDRA have all made the cut, with TUNDRA finally breaking Alliance’s flawless streak right before the competition truly begins.

As giants clash and Future Earth shakes beneath them, Week 5 is sure to be one for the ages – and we can’t wait!

VALORANT Regional League Spain: Rising

And from the ashes champions are born: it’s playoff season in Spain: Rising. With the quarterfinals already underway, Case Esports met their match against UCAM Tokiers. Reverse sweeping the squad and snatching the glory, Case move on to face Giants in the semifinals.

For Rebels Gaming, the road to victory was much easier. Taking down Queso in dominant style across Ascend, Haven, and Breeze, Queso’s decision to pull out the Skye on Breeze left them in the crosshairs of Ilya ‘vo0kashu’ Ushakov’s Viper, who shredded through the squad with ease.

VALORANT Regional League Turkey: Birlik

In the wake of an absolutely insane regular season, our top six contenders for playoffs have been decided. With Fire Flux Esports and Surreal Esports getting a week to prepare, their four competitors will battle it out to face them in the semifinals.

Thunderbolts Gaming have been the dark horse throughout the season, however, rising to prominence in the latter half of play following some big defeats. Will they be able to come back and prove their doubters wrong? All eyes are on Week 5 to see what happens.
