VALORANT Masters Toronto saw heartbreak for Sentinels fans as the popular VCT Americas team was knocked out of the tournament by Fnatic, the last remaining EMEA representative. Sentinels had started strong on their preferred map, Sunset, with a dominant defensive performance and a clutch play by Marshall 'N4RRATE' Massey to close out the map 13-9.
However, the tide turned as Fnatic bounced back with tactical brilliance on Ascent, winning 13-7, and sealed the series with a 13-9 victory on Icebox, fueled by an explosive showing from Emir ‘Alfajer’ Beder and his deadly Killjoy setup.
Meanwhile, G2 Esports kept their Masters Toronto dreams alive after a dramatic 2-1 win over Pacific powerhouse Gen.G. G2’s strategic switch to include Yoru and Tejo on Lotus paid off, crushing Gen.G in the first half and taking the map 13-7.
Gen.G responded on Haven with sharp defensive holds and a standout performance from Kim ‘t3xture’ Na-ra to edge out a 13-11 win. But in the final map on Icebox, G2 staged a remarkable comeback from an 8-4 halftime deficit, winning eight consecutive rounds led by Jacob ‘valyn’ Batio’s clutch calls and calm under pressure.
The lower bracket victory sets up a key matchup between G2 and Fnatic, with both teams vying for the final top-three position at the tournament. While Paper Rex and Wolves Esports have already secured podium spots by reaching the upper bracket final, only one of them will head straight to the grand final on June 22, while the loser will face the lower bracket finalist. With elimination looming and a title at stake, the final rounds promise to be explosive.
As fans gear up for the final phase of Masters Toronto, all eyes are on the Lower Bracket Final set for June 20. G2's resurgence and Fnatic's gritty composure promise a thrilling clash. Meanwhile, the upper bracket final between Paper Rex and Wolves will determine who takes the fast track to the grand final and who must fight once more to earn their place.
