CGN SECURES THIRD CONSECUTIVE VCL DACH TITLE – THE BEGINNING OF AN ERA
CGN Esports has won the Valorant League Challengers DACH Evolution for the third time in a row. The defending champions beat Mouz in the final.
Cologne, Germany – April 13th, 2024 - Today marks another monumental achievement for CGN Esports as we celebrate our third consecutive win at the VALORANT Challengers 2024 DACH Championship. The defending champions continued their dominance by overcoming Mouz in the finals of VCL DACH Stage 1 2024, following our victories in Stages 1 and 2 of 2023.
Just like in previous stages, CGNs finals opponent, Mouz from Hamburg, proved to be an absolutely equal opponent. Mouz took an early lead with a strong performance on Map 1 and continued to lead on Map 2 of the best-of-three series. However, CGN fought back, securing a 2-1 victory with an overtime on Map 3.
David Dick, COO and Co-Owner of CGN Esports, shared his enthusiasm about this significant achievement:
"Securing a back-to-back-to-back title with such a comeback feels amazing. Celebrating this success with our fans, acting as the sixth man on the map, was a very special moment for me. But the biggest applause, of course, goes to our outstanding players and our coach, Navid 'Kapio' Javadi. You made this incredible experience possible and proved yourselves as true champions once again."
The finale was complemented by the CGNs Spring Festival and a fan march. Together with our community, CGN held a three-day Spring Festival attended by over 200 people. The festivities began on Friday at a traditional Cologne brewery, followed by a joint fan march to the finals at XPERION Germany Cologne at Hansaring, and concluded with a relaxed barbecue to celebrate the successful weekend.
Looking forward, CGNs focus is already on Stage 2, starting in just two weeks, with the goal of qualifying for the Ascension (VALORANT EMEA Championship) in Berlin. The ambition remains to rise to the top tier of the EMEA region at the Valorant Champions Tour in Berlin.

About VALORANT
VALORANT is a fast-paced competitive & tactical first person shooter, involving two teams of 5 players each. The first team that manages to win 13 in-game rounds, wins. This means that a game of Valorant can take up to 25 rounds. Players can choose their unique in-game characters, which are called agents, at the start of the game and buy different weapons at the start of each round. When a player dies, they will not respawn until the next round starts. This makes VALORANT a game in which even the smallest decision counts: good reaction times, aiming skills and knowledge are all key elements required to master VALORANT on a competitive level.
