FunPlus Phoenix VCT Masters: Recently FunPlus Phoenix, known as FPX beat their rivalry G2 Esports with a smashing scoreline of 3-1 in the VCT EMEA Challengers Finals. They made themselves eligible for Masters Iceland after this smashing win.
But unfortunately, the players of FPX are facing some travel restrictions. As FunPlus Esports have two players from Russia and one player from Ukraine so it is most likely they will not be eligible for the Masters. FPX Ardiis is in a recovery stage from covid 19 so as a result, he can not travel by any means. It is more of a heartbreaking moment for the fans of FunPlus Esports.
Players of FPX were really too hyped up to make their presence in masters. Even fans of FPX were hyped to watch their favorite players Shao and Suygetsu perform in the Masters. EMEA region being one of the largest regions in valorant competitive scene to compete. It becomes super difficult for any team to perform. Defeating valorant massacres such as Team Liquid, M3C, and G2 esports becomes a self proud moment in itself. Players celebrated their victory on Twitter by sharing some cheerful tweets.

Learning that FPX couldn't attend VCT because of the current situation makes me feel really bad for them, in my opinion they were a big favorite to lift that trophy
