Current form of the teams

XLG Esports, currently aiming to make a name for themselves on the global stage, has shown mixed form in recent competitions. They placed 3rd at the Asian Champions League 2025 despite suffering losses in their last three matches against DRX, Paper Rex, and Nova Esports. However, they claimed victory at VCT 2025: China Stage 1, securing qualification for this tournament as well as the Esports World Cup 2025. Over the past six months, XLG Esports has earned $6,863 in prize money, placing them 58th in earnings rankings. Their win rate over the last six months stands at 63%. The match against Sentinels will be the first international appearance for both the players and the organization, which could lead to challenges on stage due to a lack of experience.

Sentinels, on the other hand, are on an upward trajectory, having gone undefeated (2:0) in the Swiss Stage. They secured wins over Bilibili Gaming and Wolves Esports — both Chinese teams — and their upcoming match against XLG Esports will be their third of the tournament and their third against a Chinese opponent. Sentinels also delivered a strong performance at VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1, finishing in 2nd place and securing spots at both Masters and the Esports World Cup 2025. With a 67% win rate over the past six months and a perfect 100% win rate in the last month, Sentinels are in top form, consistently performing above average. Their experience and momentum make them strong favorites to defeat XLG Esports and continue their run in dominant fashion.

Match Prediction

Based on current form and statistical data, this is shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable matches — but we give the edge to Sentinels. We believe they will manage to defeat a third Chinese team in a row, with a predicted scoreline of 2:1. However, XLG Esports' performances in the Chinese region shouldn’t be underestimated — they are likely to put up a strong fight. Still, their lack of international experience may ultimately work against them.

Prediction: XLG Esports 1:2 Sentinels
