Map Pool

• G2 Ban: Lotus — G2 always bans this map as it's one of the strongest for 100 Thieves (2-0).
• 100T Ban: Pearl — the worst map for 100T (0-3), a logical ban for them.
• G2 Pick: Ascent — a strong map for G2 (3-1), while 100 Thieves have only played it once.
• 100T Pick: Fracture — a stable choice for 100T (2-1), G2 shows average results on it (2-2).
• G2 Ban: Icebox — to remove another potentially comfortable map for 100T.
• 100T Ban: Haven — G2 has a positive record on Haven, banning it reduces risks.
• Decider: Split — both teams have average stats on this map (2-2), a logical choice for a deciding match.

Head-to-Head

In the past six months, G2 Esports and 100T have not faced each other.

Match Prediction

G2 Esports appears more cohesive and stable in both the group stage and playoffs. Despite the loss to Sentinels, they have confidently overcome strong opponents and show more consistent performances on most maps. 100T may have chances on their pick, especially on Fracture, but overall they fall short in terms of gameplay level. 

Prediction: G2 Esports to win 2:0 or 2:1.

VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1 runs from March 21 to May 4. During the event, 12 teams will compete for three slots at VCT 2025: Masters Toronto and Americas Points, which are necessary for further qualification to VALORANT Champions.
