The first qualifiers for the 2025 Masters in each region are coming to a close, and the Americas is no exception. Yesterday, the playoffs of the VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff stage, two important elimination matches took place yesterday, and we will tell you about the results below.

Leviatan vs. MIBR

In the first match, we had a rather fundamental fight, in which two of the best duelists in the world and their teams MIBR vs Leviatan took part. And the match turned out to be really exciting. None of the teams gave up, and most of the maps were played in a tense struggle. But in the end, MIBR won with a score of 2-1 and advanced to the semifinals.

LOUD vs. KRU Esports

But the second match was not as exciting and interesting. LOUD faced KRU Esports, and the fight ended in a quick victory for the Argentine club. On the first Bind map, Messi's team closed the opponents without a chance with a score of 13-5, on the second Haven map, there was a desperate resistance, but 13-11 and again KRU won.

As a result of the matches, KRU Esports and MIBR advance to the semifinals of the lower bracket, where they will meet in the match for the final on January 7. Leviatan and LOUD, in turn, leave the tournament in 5th-6th place without earning any prize points.
