Valorant Challengers South Asia 2024: True Rippers Defeats Reckoning Esports on Day 9

The first best-of-three series between True Rippers and Reckoning Esports started on Reckoning's pick of Icebox.

True Rippers didn't allow Reckoning to hold their defence, helping them lock rounds in their name and winning the map of Icebox with a 13-8 scoreline. 

On True Ripper's map pick of Lotus, Reckoning Esports wanted revenge for their previous defeat.
