The lower bracket final of VCT 2025: Pacific Kickoff saw a clash between Gen.G and T1, with the main prize of the tournament on the line – a ticket to Masters Bangkok, the first international event of 2025.

Additional Motivation

This match carried special significance not only for the teams but also for individual players. Meteor was facing his former team, Gen.G, while T1 had the opportunity for revenge, as they had lost the last two head-to-head encounters.

Match Overview

Although Gen.G were not considered overwhelming favorites, they had the edge due to greater experience, better preparation, and recent success in direct matchups. However, T1, led by Meteor, started the match sensationally, winning the first two maps and taking a 2:0 lead.

After that, the game turned into a true thriller worthy of a lower bracket final. Gen.G managed to fight back, securing victories on the next two maps. The second win came only after the fourth overtime.

Despite this comeback, the final result was in favor of T1. They clinched a hard-fought 3:2 victory in maps and secured the last ticket to Masters Bangkok from the Pacific region.

VCT 2025: Pacific Kickoff takes place from June 18 to November 9 in a LAN format at Sangam Coliseum in Seoul, South Korea. Twenty-five VCT-affiliated teams are competing for two spots at Masters Bangkok and crucial Pacific Points, which are key to qualifying for the World Championship.
