VVV Esports strikes back, wins Garena Youth Challengers Season 2
VVV Esports have redeemed themselves after an unfinished business in Garena Youth Challengers Season 1 where they fell short of a title to win the tournament’s second iteration yesterday, July 13.
VVV notably lost in the championship match three months ago against Tyrant Esports in the first-ever Garena Youth challengers. This time, they come back and finish the job after getting the job done against the Malaysian side of SEM9.
The team in red, black, and white also did it the hard way, going through the lower bracket and bucking a twice-to-beat disadvantage to defeat SEM9 in two straight series, both 3-0, in the grand finals.
Jhay “Yakou” Rubio of VVV was named MVP for his efforts in the finals with an average score of 2685 and a KDA score of 1.39.
With their victory, VVV Esports will receive the largest share of the 4000 USD prize pool of 2000 USD or approximately 112,000 PHP.
