After brushing past KRÜ Blaze they also conquered the EMEA favourites, G2 Gozen.

The real challenge met them in the Upper Final where Shopify Rebellion Gold was waiting for them. Beating Shopify sent Liquid straight to the Grand Final, earning a big advantage, the double map ban.

Starting on Team Liquid Brazil’s pick, Haven, it was a pure team effort from both sides with no standout fraggers. Although Liquid held the halftime lead, Shopify Rebellion Gold’s defense locked in when it mattered most, stealing their opponents’ map pick with a tight 13–11 score.

Heading into Pearl, Shopify looked as the favorites, having remained unbeaten on the map throughout their Seoul run. Even so, Liquid once again kept things close. Shopify pulled ahead and looked ready to close it out, but suddenly lost control as Liquid emerged from the chaos. With four straight rounds, Liquid took Pearl 13–11.

Bind came up third, the map Shopify usually permabans. Running a completely new comp, Shopify stunned Liquid with a dominant 9–3 first half. The second half, however, flipped the script. Shopify went from crushing to being crushed as Liquid fired back with six consecutive rounds. Their iron-tight site holds continued, and Liquid secured a one-map lead with a 13–10 win on Bind.

Down 1–2, Shopify came into the fourth map, Sunset, swinging with a 4–0 start. Liquid quickly answered back to even the score, but Shopify ultimately closed the half 8–4. The momentum stayed in Shopify’s favor, sealing the map 13–6, evening the series at 2–2.

The decider map, Split, was a weak spot for both teams, having only played it once each in Seoul. But Team Liquid kicked things off strong, taking the pistol round and following it up with a 1v2 clutch from Letícia "Joojina" Paiva that set the tone. From there, Liquid built momentum that Shopify couldn’t stop. Team Liquid closed out the series with a dominant 13–8 win on Split.

Liquid VS Shopify

In their history, the players on Team Liquid Brazil and Shopify Rebellion Gold have faced off twice before. Their most iconic showdown came in the VALORANT Game Changers 2023 - Championship: São Paulo Grand Final. That year, Shopify tore through the upper bracket unbeaten on their way to the final, while Liquid battled their way through the entire lower bracket. The Grand Final went down to the wire, with Shopify edging out Liquid 3–2.

Their most recent meeting came just two days ago, when Liquid was looking for revenge. The two teams clashed in the Upper Final, fighting for the first ticket to the Grand Final. This time, Team Liquid took down the reigning champions 2–1. After an even score, Team Liquid now takes the lead in the head-to-head as they are the GC 2025 winners.

daiki match MVP

Natália "daiki" Vilela earned the MVP title and bracelet after an incredible Game Changers run. Known for her aggressive plays, clutch moments, and exceptional leadership an an IGL, she’s been a standout throughout Team Liquid Brazil’s run. Joining Liquid back in 2022, Daiki experienced the heartbreak of a second-place finish against Shopify Rebellion Gold in 2023, followed by the disappointment of missing out on qualification last year. But this time, she finally got her revenge and claimed the Champions title.
