Velocity Gaming triumphs in Val-Classico to claim the Valorant Conquerors Championship 2022
Both the teams took it to the last map.

Similarly to the 2021 season of the Valorant Conquerors Championship (VCC), the top two Indian teams squared off in the fan-termed Val-Classico in the Grand Finals of 2022 edition, where Velocity Gaming (VLT) overcame the defending champions Global Esports (GE) with a 3-2 score in the best-of-five series. However, both have secured a berth to the Asia Pacific (APAC) Challenger Playoffs Split 1 where they will be seen competing against teams from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Oceania.
