G2 Esports and Sentinels faced off in the grand final of VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff, battling for the championship title and additional Americas Points, which could impact their invitation to Champions 2025 at the end of the season.

Sentinels' Motivation

For Sentinels, this match carried special significance, as they were looking to take revenge for their previous crushing 0:2 loss in the tournament. Their preparation for the final was visibly better than in the upper bracket final, but unfortunately for them, it wasn’t enough.

Match Overview

All five maps were needed to determine the champion. At one point, Sentinels even led the series, winning the first and third maps, but G2 Esports managed to turn the tide. The key moment came on Fracture – Sentinels' own pick – where G2 Esports secured a dominant victory, leveling the score. The championship was decided on Haven, where the "Samurais" clinched a hard-fought 13:10 win.

With this victory, G2 Esports became the absolute champions of VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff, remaining undefeated throughout the entire tournament. They claimed the championship title and 3 Americas Points.
