Valorant on the other hand had CEIT and CLAS clashing it out for the finals. As CEIT are the defending champions, they showed great and almost perfect gameplay against CLAS as the CEIT made a comeback in Valorant with a whopping 2-0 sweep as well. The final scores were 13-4 and 13-2.
Word Boggle
In a long-standing battle in the Word Boggle, COED proved their prowess in the field with their collective effort enough to lift them past their opponents to get the championship.
They were trailed behind by CEIT and CBAA 2 as the respective first and second runners-up.
