Commentators and analysts share their predictions for the upcoming Masters Bangkok 2025
The first major tournament of 2025 is set to begin in just three days, and fans of the discipline are eagerly preparing for the start of Masters Bangkok 2025. As is often the case before an international event, Valorant analysts and commentators have shared their predictions on how the tournament will unfold. Below, we break down their choices.
Predictions from Media Figures
Yesterday, the official Valorant Champions Tour social media accounts posted an image featuring tournament predictions from well-known commentators and media personalities. Those who shared their opinions include:
Alex "Goldenboy" Mendez – commentator and event organizer
Michaela "mimi" Lintrup – active professional player and 2022 world champion in Valorant's women's scene
Gai "Alan" Yandahan – Chinese commentator
Chayut "Voo" Changtongkum – Thai commentator
Guilherme "spacca" Spacca – former professional player, now an analyst
Experts Favor G2 Esports , While Team Liquid Is Seen as the Underdog
As seen in the image, three out of the five analysts predict G2 Esports as the tournament winners. This choice is quite logical, considering the team's success in the VCT 2025 Americas Kickoff qualifiers. On the other hand, Team Liquid is considered the biggest underdog of the event, as three analysts believe they will be the first team eliminated.
The best player in terms of ACS, according to the experts, is expected to be ZmjjKK . Although he won the 2024 world championship, his performance has been inconsistent since then. Meanwhile, analysts predict that Abyss will be the most played map at the upcoming event.
Masters Bangkok 2025 will take place from February 20 to March 2 in a LAN format at UOB Live. The tournament will feature eight of the strongest partnered teams, two from each competitive region, who earned their spots through regional qualifiers. These teams will compete for a $500,000 prize pool, VCT Points necessary for qualification to the World Championship, and the title of champion at the first international event of 2025.
