Team SMG’s Lexy has cemented his status as one of the top Valorant players in Southeast Asia, after an impressive showing at the Valorant Masters SEA weekend.
While SMG finished second to Thailand’s X10, the team’s journey has been quite the Cinderella story, with some unforgettable plays.
In SMG’s series against BOOM Esports, the team struggled on the second map, Bind, with the score 6-10 in favor of BOOM. Round 17 began with BOOM on attack, pushing into B site from long, and SMG on defense.
