While FunPlusPheonix had managed t hold their ground during the group stage, it was G2 who dominated the playoffs. G2 had faced a bump in the road against Team Liquid but they exacted their revenge against Liquid soon after, before moving on to the grand final.

They went up against FunPlusPheonix in the finals, which they won cleanly with their squad of M1xwell, Ardiis, Davidp, Pyth and paTiTek. With this victory, G2 also took home €6,000 in prize money. M1xwel was also part of the team that won the G2 Esports Invitational, one of the first tournaments in the Ignition Series. This means the captain of G2 has won 5 Ignition Series tournaments.
Davidp had gone through some tough times amidst the tournament when his father passed away. After sitting out one match, Davidp returned to the team to help them out.
Team member Pyth even hailed David as a ‘warrior.’
David is a warrior. You didn't hear our TS comms today, I can tell you he took over the calling and won the games for us with his brain and leadership. A true champion. https://t.co/TUU3R5j8uP

Davidp dedicated the victory to his father and all the people going through tough times.

The response to the Allied Esports Odyssey event was underwhelming in the beginning but later garnered significant viewership.
Valorant has managed to take the Esports scene by storm. The Ignition Series witnessed some of the best teams in the world put up everything they had in order to win and claim the throne. We expect the following tournaments to be just as exciting, if not more.
