Wan “CHICHOO” Shunzhi just reminded everyone why Edward Gaming is the team nobody wants to face in a best-of-three. Down a full map in their playoff series against FUT Esports at Valorant Masters London on June 13, the 22-year-old pulled off a 1v2 clutch on Pearl that completely rewired the trajectory of the match.
EDG went on to win the series 2-1, turning what looked like an early exit into a statement victory. And the ripple effects extended well beyond the server, with crypto prediction markets seeing notable spikes in betting volume as the comeback unfolded in real time.
The clutch that changed everything
EDG opened the series on Haven and got dismantled, losing 4-13 in a map that was effectively over before it started. FUT Esports looked comfortable, controlled, and one map away from closing things out.
Then came Pearl. EDG clawed their way through a grueling back-and-forth that went to overtime, ultimately taking the map 14-12. The defining moment was CHICHOO’s 1v2 clutch, a round that, by all conventional logic, should have gone to FUT.
