From GC to VCT? World champion Shopify Rebellion qualifies to VALORANT Challengers NA

As a hardcore gamer, I’m pumped! My team, Shopify Rebellion, twice champions of Game Changers, just made history by securing our spot in the VALORANT Challengers NA! We’re on a roll and ready to take on the competition!

Shopify Rebellion have clinched two consecutive titles as Game Changers Champions, and their victories don’t seem to be slowing down. They’re currently on a path toward the VCT, provided they continue winning, because Shopify Rebellion has now earned a spot in VALORANT Challengers NA through qualification.

For those who might not know, if you succeed in Challenger events, you advance to Ascension. If you win Ascension, then you qualify for your specific VCT international league. Now, this opportunity has arisen due to their long-term dominance in GC tournaments.

Shopify Rebellion heads to VALORANT Challengers NA

After SR’s star duelist left for VCT EMEA, there were concerns raised. However, Ava “florescent” Eugene joined Apeks and made her VCT debut as the first GC player to make such a move. Fortunately, SR secured former FlyQuest standout Karnthida “dodonut” Chaisrakeo.

After securing the last vital piece, Shopify Rebellion embarked on their adventure in the VALORANT Challengers qualifiers. They were granted a direct entry to the closed phase of the qualifier and kicked off their journey with a victory against Pigeons.

Following that, Winthrop University secured a 2:0 victory over them subsequent to the encounter. In the Lower Bracket, SR went head-to-head with an old rival, FlyQuest Red. With another 2:0 win under their belt, only one hurdle was left for their qualification.

SR defeats Funhavers 2:0 to snag the last Challengers NA spot

In the Valorant Challengers NA qualifier, the last open spot was up for grabs between Shopify Rebellion and Funhavers. With both Winthrop University and Blue Otter already qualified, and former GC star Bob “Bob” Tran being a member of Blue Otter, this match would decide which team joins them.

Initially, things seemed challenging for Funhavers when they arrived at map one, Fracture, known as Fracture. Shopify faced a tough start but quickly recovered and counterattacked. They managed to establish a reasonable lead in offense and maintained control as the defense, ultimately claiming victory.

Subsequently, the sequence shifted towards Pearl’s location, and that’s where Shopify concluded the initial segment of the second round, holding a strong 10:2 advantage. In an attempt to regain ground, Funhavers seized the second half’s starting weapon, but their comeback was hindered by the substantial lead.

In a style reminiscent of 2:0 victories, the Shopify Rebellion team outplayed Funhavers and secured their spot in the VALORANT Challengers NA for 2025. The world-champion squad from Game Changers now sets their sights on even greater achievements, marking themselves as the first full GC roster to reach Challengers. So, congratulations to them!
