Team Liquid Brazil books their place in the GGC 2025 Grand Finals after beating Shopify Rebellion Gold

by

After a hard-fought series, Team Liquid Brazil qualified for the Grand Finals of GCC 2025 by defeating Shopify Rebellion Gold.

Team Liquid Brazil looks drastically improved compared to last year, playing with a new level of confidence and power. However, facing the two-time champions, Shopify Rebellion Gold, proved to be a huge challenge. They had to defeat a team that appeared unstoppable. With anything possible at the VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025, the stakes are incredibly high.

Team Liquid Brazil surprised everyone by defeating the top contenders and earning a spot in the Grand Finals on November 30th. Shopify Rebellion still has a path to the finals, but they’ll need to win their next match against either MIBR GC or KRÜ BLAZE.

The 2023 rematch

Shopify Rebellion Gold was expected to win this rematch from VALORANT Game Changers 2023, but Team Liquid Brazil was a formidable opponent – one of the toughest Shopify Rebellion Gold had ever played against. Their previous championship match was very close, with SRG ultimately winning 3-2.

Back in 2023, TL featured Natália “daiki” Vilela with her signature short hairstyle and Paula “bstrdd” Naguil as a teammate, while Shopify Rebellion included Ava “florescent” Eugene. While many things have changed since then, both teams still carry the same strong energy and self-assurance.

After two years of competition, these teams are now battling for a place in the 2025 VALORANT Game Changers Championship Grand Finals. Don’t underestimate Team Liquid Brazil – they’re a truly powerful contender and one of the best teams in the Game Changers circuit.

Team Liquid secures its ticket to the Grand Finals

Team Liquid won a hard-fought series against Shopify Rebellion Gold, marking their first LAN victory over the team. Both teams have improved significantly since 2023, according to SRG’s meL. “Shopify Rebellion Gold’s strategy on Haven was perfect. Daiki knew precisely when to push and when to attack,” meL said in the post-match press conference. “It’s incredible to see how much both teams have grown, and I’m happy I got to compete against them.”

A great man once said: “Even losses can be small wins.” You know which man said that? Faker.

SRG meL

The players on Team Liquid were proud of how they played. Letícia “joojina” Paiva said the 2023 final was tough, but she’s moved past it. Julia “Jelly” Iris, who lost to Shopify last year while with MIBR GC, feels confident things will be different this year. She stated they weren’t able to compete last year, but this time they’re determined to end SRG’s winning streak and bring the championship back to Brazil.
