Sentinels and G2 Esports advance to the upper bracket final of VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff

The final day of matches determined the first two upper bracket finalists, who will now face each other for one of the biggest prizes—a direct slot at Masters Bangkok. The losing teams have lost their margin for error, as another defeat will mean elimination from the tournament.

Sentinels vs LOUD
The match between Sentinels and LOUD was arguably one of the most intense encounters of VCT 2025. Across three maps, the teams played a staggering 70 rounds. The first two maps were decided by the smallest possible margin: LOUD secured Lotus (13:11), while Sentinels responded with a 13:11 victory on Pearl. The deciding map, Split, saw Sentinels regain their composure and deliver a stable performance. Four out of five players recorded 18 kills each, allowing them to overpower LOUD and secure a spot in the upper bracket final of VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff.

G2 Esports vs Leviatán
The second match between G2 Esports and Leviatán was less dramatic but equally crucial. G2 faced some difficulties but ultimately secured a dominant victory, conceding only 14 rounds across two maps. As a result, G2 Esports move on to the upper final, where they will face Sentinels in a battle for a spot at Masters Bangkok.

VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff runs from June 16 to November 8 in a LAN format at Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles, USA. Twelve partnered teams from the VCT Americas League are competing for two slots at Masters Bangkok and crucial Americas Points, which are essential for World Championship qualification.
