The T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Showdown turned out to be one of the most exciting Valorant tournaments so far, as TSM proved themselves the best Valorant team in North America by defeating T1 3-0 in the grand final.

The tournament also served as a showcase for a number of other NA Valorant pros and streamers, including unknown newcomer, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.

In the group stage of the tournament, Ninja pulled off this crazy ace by faked a Shrouded Step to get T1’s mid player to change positions.

This gave Ninja the Shorty kill, which he used to swap to the Phantom and secure an Ace against the rest of T1.
