The passionate French VALORANT scene has given rise to a new power. The recently promoted Gentle Mates team, led by one of the most renowned Counter-Strike captains ever, is already on track to succeed VCT EMEA in 2024. The nine teams that won their respective Challengers League championships as well as one play-in team competed in EMEA Ascension.
The French champion Gentle Mates, who defeated Acend and Apeks in consecutive 3-0 series victories in both the lower final and grand final of the playoffs, put on a commanding performance to win the largely competitive event. If you need more information about After EMEA Ascension’s dominance, the French VALORANT team is poised to take over VCT, then read carefully, and don’t forget to share with your friends.
The only teams that Gentle Mates had lost to earlier in the competition were Ascend and Apeks, which was appropriate given that the French team, led by veteran CS in-game leader Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans, exacted the ultimate revenge late in the playoffs. With a decisive map one victory against both opponents, Gentle Mates got the upper hand right away.

They then won two consecutive tight matches to earn the corresponding 3-0 victories. The fact that Apeks received both map bans as an upper-bracket winner advantage made their grand final even more impressive.
The Gentle Mates’ dominance is evident in every statistic from this event. According to the stats website VLR.gg, each of the five starting players was rated among the top 11 players in the playoffs. Logan “Logan” Corti, a sentinel/viper expert and former member of Team BDS, stood out as the tournament’s top player, finishing in the top five overall in player rating.
However, Gentle Mates did more than simply post impressive numbers on the server. Being present in all five of the EMEA Ascension games with the highest peak viewership, and having all three of their playoff games place in the top three, made Gentle Mates by far the most-watched team of the competition. According to Esports Charts, their victory over Apeks in the grand finals was the Ascension tournament’s most-watched match overall, including the Americas and Pacific divisions, with a peak viewership of 227,232.
Gentle Mates have a great chance to become well-known in VCT EMEA with all this momentum and a coach who is well-liked in the French FPS community. The French team was among the most watched during Karmine Corp’s disastrous season in 2023, despite that. As evidenced by the LFL and the Vitality victory at the Paris CS:GO Major, the French fan base is one of the most passionate in all of esports, and these fans are fervently waiting for a dominant French VALORANT team to appear.
