The rematch between EDward Gaming and G2 Esports will take place in the upper bracket final of Masters Bangkok 2025, with the grand final slot at stake. We will analyze both teams' current form and predict the outcome of the match.

Current Team Form

EDward Gaming

EDward Gaming started the season with a victory at VCT 2025: China Kickoff, although they did suffer a loss against Trace Esports before securing a revenge win. At this tournament, the team has been performing exceptionally well, winning all three of their matches to reach the upper bracket final.

They have won four of their last five matches, including all three victories at Masters Bangkok 2025. Their only loss came against JDG Esports at the regional tournament. After winning the world championship, EDG had inconsistent results in regional events, but their return to the international stage has proven that their championship title was well-earned.

G2 Esports

G2 Esports started their season with a dominant win at VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff, going undefeated in the tournament. They have also won four of their last five matches, with their only loss coming against EDward Gaming during the Swiss stage of this tournament.

Since replacing icy with jawgemo, G2 has looked much more confident on the server, which helped them secure their first-ever VCT trophy at VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff.
