The Indonesian team are the back-to-back four time champion after a 3-2 win over Oasis Gaming Aqua.
Alter Ego Celestè came out on top once again in the fourth edition of FSL VALORANT Circuit 2021 following a hard-fought 3-2 win over Oasis Gaming Aqua (Ascent 13-2, Icebox 6-13, Bind 13-5, Breeze 5-13, Split 13-5). With the victory, Ryona “Tarathiel” Tan’s squad reaches a level of dominance in Southeast Asia similar to that of Cloud9 White in North America.
The fourth consecutive FSL Open Circuit victory secures them the place on top of the rankings for the time being, with two more Open tournaments set to be played before the circuit concludes with VCT Game Changers SEA: FSL Elite 2021.
