Karmine Corp GC triumph in epic Grand Finals to win the VCT 2025 Game Changers EMEA Stage 1

After a thrilling Grand Finals that saw both teams push each other to the limit, Karmine Corp GC was able to secure the victory over GIANTX GC and claim the VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Game Changers EMEA Stage 1 trophy.

Now, having secured their first title at this level of competition, Karmine Corp GC prove they are the undisputed number one team in the EMEA Game Changers scene at the moment.

A well earned title

After stampeding through the Group Stage at Stage 1 to finish with an 8-1 record, Karmine Corp GC headed for the Playoffs as one of the big favorites to win it all.

The team proved their status was well earned by making their way to the Grand Finals without losing a single map in the process. Throughout their journey across the Playoffs, Karmine Corp even swept a G2 Gozen squad that was seemed built to lift trophies.

At their last stop before securing the title, Karmine Corp ran into a dangerous and evolving GIANTX GC team that threatened to take it all away. What was the "weaker" team in theory completely took Karmine Corp by surprise to start the series, claiming the first map of the Finals in overtime.

From then on, it was a bloody and well-fought bout between two teams that showed up ready to give it their all. Ultimately, Anastasia "Glance" Anisimova, Azra "alkyia" Erin, Şura "Jiex" Yıldırım, Anastasia "anesilia" Ivanova, and a stellar Safia "safiaa" Leghzal were able to hold their ground and secure the 3-2 win right in the nick of time.
