The second stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 2 Challengers was much more successful, the victory brought the team a slot at Masters Copenhagen, but performance on it was limited to 7-8th place.
Since the start of the season, the club has earned 295 VCT points, and 2nd place in the overall standings, which allowed XSET to qualify for the World Championship.

Match prediction
The favorites of the match are the Europeans, and this is quite justified. Despite the fact that XERXIA players show good performance and occupy the top 2 in their region, they cannot compete with the silver leader in the North American rating, and the difference in experience is obvious.
Outcome: XSET victory
