The Rise of cNed – The Ascent of a Valorant God

In December 2021, Acend made history at Valorant Champions. They emerged as unlikely victors and became the first world champions in their esport. But none of this would have been possible without their star player: Mehmet Yağız ‘cNed’ İpek. The Turkish talent exploded onto the Valorant scene in 2020, transforming himself from a complete unknown to one of the game's most popular players. And while 2021 also had its low moments for the flashy Jett main, cNed ended the year by making history and now he’s ready for more. This is The Rise of cNed.
