KRÜ Esports and MIBR continue their battle at the VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff tournament. Both teams have advanced further in the bracket to the lower quarterfinals. Evil Geniuses and NRG are eliminated from the tournament.

Evil Geniuses vs. MIBR

A rather expected outcome of the match, despite Evil Geniuses showing a decent performance with their new roster. However, it wasn’t enough to handle the stars from MIBR. While EG managed to put up some resistance on the first map, the second map fell apart for them from the very beginning. The standout player of the match was, of course, aspas, who delivered the best individual performance across both maps.

NRG vs. KRÜ Esports

The second match was much more intriguing. Based on offseason results, it seemed like NRG had everything they needed to secure a victory, but something didn’t go according to plan. The first map ended rather quickly in defeat for the team in orange, but they managed to bounce back on the second. However, on the third map, the absence of FNS, Verno, and Ethan was deeply felt. Overall, Bind turned out to be a disastrous map choice for the team.
