It was the first game of the day for VCT EMEA on April 23. Two teams on the same level, two Turkish teams with the same victories and losses in the season. It was supposed to be a normal match, but the teams didn't want to lose at any cost.

In total, there were 48 rounds. Everyone had more than 20 kills; three players even reached the 40-kill mark. Burak "LewN" Alkan, the Jett from BBL, ended up the match with 42 kills, 37 deaths, and nine assists. You can watch the entire match here.

The longest VALORANT game in VCT history

The game started strong, with both teams putting on a show. BBL held the lead early, powered by LewN’s insane 4K, but FUT refused to back down. Round after round, they traded blows in a relentless tug-of-war.

As the scoreline tightened to 12-12, the tension skyrocketed. The casters could barely keep up — every play was chaos, every moment electric. No one could keep up with so much happening at the same time.

As the match pushed into overtime, tension gripped the arena. The atmosphere was electric, every round a brawl, every clutch a roar from the crowd. BBL was delivering under pressure, pulling off miraculous plays, while FUT struggled to keep pace.

It was clutch after clutch, a relentless back-and-forth that had everyone on the edge of their seats. This wasn’t just a match — it was pure cinema. VALORANT at its rawest, most authentic form.

It was pure madness. The game refused to end no matter what, and the players were clearly feeling the fatigue, but they kept pushing, round after round.

The crowd was losing its mind, and more viewers kept tuning in, drawn by the chaos of a match that felt endless. Every clutch, every shot, every second had people screaming their lungs out. It was the kind of energy you only see when something truly unforgettable is unfolding.

BBL was victorious!

After two hours and five minutes of intense gameplay, BBL emerged victorious from the longest VALORANT game in VCT history. The tension was palpable, with everyone on edge, knowing there were still more matches ahead.

But in the end, BBL proved to be the stronger team, clinching the win on the second map, Icebox, with a hard-fought 13-11 victory. BBL is now at the top of the Group Omega with four victories and one loss. What a day to be a VALORANT fan!
