Team Heretics and MIBR leave VCT 2025 Masters Toronto
The fourth day of VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025 has concluded, and it truly surprised everyone.
The first game of the day was a showdown between Team Heretics and Wolves Esports. Wolves Esports sensationally defeated Team Heretics with a crushing score of 2:0. Team Heretics, considered the main favorites of the tournament, leave it with a score of 0:2 in matches. The question arises: will there be changes in the lineup after such a defeat?
Later, Team Liquid faced MIBR and confidently won with a score of 2:0. Team Liquid was joined by captain Ayaz nAts Akhmetshin, and the team also decided to give a chance to Erik penny Penny. He played in the lineup, alternating with Maikls SerialKiller Zdanovs depending on the map: penny played on the first map, and SerialKiller on the second. In the MIBR team, except for Andrew Verno Maust, all players showed weak results. Erick aspas Santos was particularly disappointing, demonstrating the worst statistics of his career in the tournament. MIBR leave the tournament with a score of 0:2 in matches.
Wolves Esports and Team Liquid advanced to the final round of the Swiss stage, where they will face Bilibili Gaming and Paper Rex. It is in these matches that the last participants of the playoffs will be determined.
Today's day will start with a match between two Chinese teams — Wolves Esports and Bilibili Gaming — at 18:00 CEST. Both teams are capable of surprising, so there is no clear favorite in this encounter. At 21:00 CEST, Team Liquid, the last hope of the EMEA region at this stage, will fight for a playoff slot against Paper Rex. Both teams are on the rise, and it is also difficult to highlight a favorite in this match.
Sentinels and Gen.G Esports have already advanced to the playoffs. Teams that took first places in VCT 2025: Stage 1 are also expected in the playoffs: Fnatic, G2 Esports, Rex Regum Qeon, and XLG Esports.
