Qualified Teams for VALORANT Masters Toronto
The top three teams from each of the four regional Stage 1 tournaments have secured their spots in Toronto. Below is the complete list of qualified teams as of May 16, 2025, reflecting the latest results from the VALORANT esports community.
VCT Americas
G2 Esports: The VCT Americas Stage 1 champions dominated with a 3-1 victory over Sentinels in the Grand Final, earning a direct playoff seed and 10 VCT Points. G2’s flawless Omega Group run and strong playoff performance make them a top contender.
Sentinels: Securing their spot with a 2-1 upset over G2 Esports in the playoffs, Sentinels showcased resilience despite roster changes, including the absence of star player Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo.
MIBR: Brazil’s MIBR earned their qualification with a dominant playoff run, defeating 100 Thieves and KRÜ Esports 2-0 each to reach the Upper Bracket Final, finishing third in VCT Americas.
VCT Pacific
Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ): Indonesia’s RRQ clinched their first major VALORANT trophy in VCT Pacific Stage 1, defeating Gen.G 3-1 in the Grand Final. Their reverse sweep against DRX in a 2-1 series, capped by an overtime thriller on Lotus, secured their Toronto spot.
Gen.G: Despite falling to RRQ in the Grand Final, Gen.G qualified for Toronto with a strong playoff performance, finishing second in VCT Pacific Stage 1.
Paper Rex: Singapore’s Paper Rex rounded out the Pacific qualifiers, taking third place in Stage 1 playoffs after a stunning lower bracket run, including a 2-1 upset over VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 champions T1.
VCT China
Wolves Esports: The first team to qualify for VALORANT Masters Toronto, Wolves Esports dominated VCT China’s Stage 1, defeating Titan Esports Club and Bilibili Gaming 2-0 each to reach the Playoffs Upper Bracket Final.
Xi Lai Gaming (XLG): A surprising standout, VCT Ascension China 2024 winners XLG Esports secured their first international VCT appearance with an undefeated playoff run, including victories over Nova Esports and 2024 VALORANT Champions winner EDward Gaming. Despite having fewer than 200 X followers, XLG’s strong presence on Weibo and Bilibili highlights their growing popularity.
Bilibili Gaming: Bilibili Gaming earned their Toronto spot by defeating EDward Gaming 2-1 in the VCT China Stage 1 lower bracket semi-final, marking a significant achievement for the Chinese squad.
VCT EMEA
Team Heretics: A top performer in VCT EMEA Stage 1, Team Heretics secured their qualification for Toronto, continuing their strong presence in international competition.
Fnatic: A mainstay in VALORANT esports, Fnatic earned their spot with a top-three finish in VCT EMEA Stage 1, defeating Team Liquid in a nail-biting series to clinch their Toronto qualification. Their reverse sweep heroics solidified their reputation as clutch performers.
Team Liquid: Team Liquid secured the final EMEA slot for Toronto after defeating BBL Esports 2-1 in a thrilling Lower Round 3 match on May 16, 2025. The series saw Team Liquid win on Haven (13-11) and Fracture (13-8), overcoming a loss on Split (7-13), with a standout ace by Kamil "kamo" Frąckowiak sealing the victory. This marks another international appearance for Liquid, who are still chasing their first major trophy.
VALORANT Masters Toronto Tournament Format and Stakes
VALORANT Masters Toronto will feature a hybrid format, with the top-seeded team from each region—likely G2 Esports (Americas), RRQ (Pacific), Wolves Esports (China), and Team Heretics (EMEA)—receiving a bye to the playoffs. The remaining eight teams will compete in a Swiss Stage, where two wins advance a team to the playoffs, and two losses result in elimination. The playoffs will follow a double-elimination bracket, culminating in a best-of-five Grand Final on June 22nd.
Beyond the $1 million prize pool, teams are vying for Championship Points critical for qualifying for VALORANT Champions Paris in September 2025. The winner of Masters Toronto will earn seven VCT Points, significantly boosting their chances of securing a spot in the season’s grand finale.
Notable Absences and Surprises
Notably, 2024 VALORANT Champions winner EDward Gaming (EDG) failed to qualify for Toronto after losses to XLG Esports and Bilibili Gaming in VCT China Stage 1. This marks a significant upset, as EDG was expected to build on their championship success. Meanwhile, T1, the VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 champions, also missed out after being eliminated by Paper Rex in VCT Pacific Stage 1.
On the other hand, Xi Lai Gaming’s qualification is a Cinderella story. With minimal social media presence on X (fewer than 200 followers), the team’s dominance in VCT China and strong domestic following on platforms like Weibo signal their potential to shake up the international scene.
