VCT Masters Toronto is delivering peak Valorant content right now. The upper bracket is full of surprises, and the lower bracket? It’s a warzone.

With just six teams left, tournament dreams are either coming true—or being brutally crushed. From Sentinels’ downfall to Paper Rex’s Phantom-powered rise, here’s everything you need to know.

Sentinels Get Smashed by Paper Rex—PRX Are BACK

After cruising past three Chinese teams, Sentinels finally hit a wall—and that wall was Paper Rex.

Game one? A 13-3 blowout on Split.
Game two? Sentinels had a shot, but Forsaken’s ninja defuse (while literally spinning around on high sense) sealed the 13-11 win and sent Sentinels tumbling into the lower bracket.

PRX didn’t just win—they sent a message.

Even TenZ chimed in, calling it “the most PRX way possible.” Forsaken dancing on the spike while defusing? Peak chaos. Peak confidence. Peak PRX.

And yes, Jing switched from Vandal to Phantom because he had a dream that he was cooking with it. Now he is.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Wolves Upset Gen.G—And Look Like Legit Title Contenders

Wolves Esports are on fire. After sending RRQ and BLG packing, they just clutched up an insane comeback series against Gen.G—a team many expected to make finals.

Split: down 9-3 → win 13-11
Sunset: down 8-4 → win 13-9

The mental game? Immaculate.
Liysaur, who was under fire earlier in the event, silenced all doubters. Wolves now sit in the upper bracket final vs. Paper Rex with a guaranteed top-3 finish. Who saw this coming?

The Wolves camp even joked to Sentinels: “We’ll see you in grand finals.”

Lower Bracket Is Stacked: Fnatic vs Sentinels, G2 vs Gen.G

With the bracket flipped on its head, we now have four global heavyweights fighting to survive in the lower bracket:

  • Sentinels vs Fnatic
  • Gen.G vs G2

Pick your poison. One more loss, and you’re out.

Fnatic crushed RRQ in their previous match, and Kayak even said Sentinels are a better matchup. The dream? Run it all the way back.

G2, meanwhile, have been grinding their way through the bracket and might just outlast the rest.

RB Returns to Pacific, Verno x SOM Teased

In the middle of the chaos, we’ve also got some spicy roster rumblings:

  • RB, previously with DRX and Titan Esports Club, is reportedly returning to the Pacific region to join Nongshim RedForce.
  • Verno and SOM, spotted duoing in ranked, sparked speculation. Could there be an Oxygen Esports reunion in the works? Could Verno return to NRG?

After MIBR’s disaster of a tournament, some moves are likely coming. Stay tuned.

Riot Still Defending the Format—but Players Want Change

The first seed curse continues, and Riot’s response? Mixed.

Riot’s Leo Faria says first seeds do have advantages—no Swiss, more prep time, top 8 guaranteed. But even he admits: tournament momentum is real.

FNS raised a solid point too—should lower bracket matches be best-of-fives instead of best-of-threes? With gaps in the schedule, there’s definitely time. And let’s be honest—these elimination games deserve the full series treatment.

But for now? Still best-of-threes. Still 12-team formats. And still a whole lot of debate.

Paper Rex vs Wolves in the upper final. Sentinels vs Fnatic in a do-or-die match. Gen.G vs G2 with everything on the line.

This is Valorant at its absolute best.
