G2 beats Sentinels 3-1 to rule VCT Americas Stage 1
G2 Esports took down Sentinels 3-1 to win VCT Americas Stage 1. With this win, they got 10 VCT points and a pass to the next big VCT series — Masters Toronto in June.
Twelve teams from the Americas joined the event from March 21 to May 4. G2 stood out early on, winning all five games in the Omega Group. Their strong start sent them to the Playoffs Upper Bracket Semis, but they lost to Sentinels and had to fight through the lower bracket. G2 bounced back strong, beating Evil Geniuses 2-1 and MIBR 3-1.
In the Grand Final, G2 made clear improvements. They won the first two maps (Haven and Split), lost Pearl, and sealed the deal on Ascent. All games were close, but G2 kept calm and showed real growth.
Trent ‘trent’ Cairns was named MVP and shared his joy online, calling the team’s run back-to-back champions and praising their hard work.
G2, Sentinels, and MIBR will participate in Masters Toronto from June 7 to 22. The event will feature 12 teams across different regions and a $1 million prize pool.
With 16 total VCT points, G2 leads the Americas region. The top teams after Stage 2 may go straight to the big VALORANT Champions tournament later this year.
