Time to wind back the clock to Fall 2021, when the Arena of Glory Winter 2021 event took place. Back then, here’s how the competition stacked up:

Arena of Valor World Cup

  • #1 – Saigon Phantom
  • #2 – V Gaming
  • #3 – Team Flash
  • #4 – Box Gaming
  • #5 – CERBERUS Esports

Despite Saigon Phantom coming out on top back then, it was at the international Major to end the season, AIC 2021, that things shifted.

Considering this, we’re leaning towards V Gaming taking home the AOG Spring 2022 event!
