Sentinels and Gen.G advance to the playoffs of VCT Masters Toronto 2025

The next day of the Swiss stage of VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025 has concluded, determining new participants for the playoff stage.

The first team to reach the playoffs was Sentinels, who defeated Bilibili Gaming with a score of 2:1. The outcome of the match was predictable, considering the confident play of Sentinels. Later, they were joined by Gen.G Esports, who crushed Paper Rex with a score of 2:0. It seems that last year's form of Gen.G Esports has returned, and the team is aiming for another trophy in their collection.

There are two free slots left in the playoffs, for which the remaining teams will compete. Today, elimination matches will take place: the winner will advance to round 1-1, while the loser will leave the tournament. The first game of the day is Team Heretics against Wolves Esports at 18:00 CEST. Both teams lost their previous matches with a score of 0:2, but Team Heretics are considered the favorites of the meeting. The second game is Team Liquid against MIBR at 21:00 CEST, with no clear favorite. Team Liquid has finally been joined by their captain, which may strengthen the team, while it is difficult to judge the strength of MIBR as they lost to one of the strongest teams in the Swiss stage.

Bilibili Gaming and Paper Rex are awaiting their opponents in round 1-1 to compete for the last slots in the playoffs.
