VCT Masters Bangkok 2025 Spectator Guide: How To Watch, Dates, Streams, Twitch Drops

After s1mple and Zeus participated in Valorant show matches at the CS2 Major in Shanghai at the end of 2024, I didn’t just learn the word "Valorant" — I actually got to know the game and its rules.

Will Valorant overtake CS2 and Dota 2 in popularity and prize pools? Not in the next five years, that’s for sure. But watching the rivalry between American and Chinese esports teams is interesting.

Welcome to my guide for the VCT Masters Bangkok 2025 that’s about to start — or if it’s already underway, we’ve got a direct link to the matches right here!

VCT Masters Bangkok 2025 Teams

The best of the best are heading to Bangkok! There are already predictions about the tournament favorites and potential winners — we are preparing a VCT 2025 Teams Overview in a separate analytic text.

The Masters Bangkok 2025 tournament features eight teams from four major Valorant regions. EMEA and Americas each bring two powerhouse teams, while Pacific and China also send two top contenders from their leagues. This creates a balanced global lineup, with representation from North America, Europe, Asia, and China, setting the stage for an intense international showdown.

Tournament Prediction for Masters Bangkok 2025

As we approach Masters Bangkok 2025, the excitement is palpable, with fierce competition ahead. G2 Esports stands as the main favorite, showcasing an incredibly strong performance at the VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff. With a roster that’s been together for over two years and the recent addition of icy, they have achieved a high level of synergy and firepower. Their past achievements, especially with players like Jawgemo, give them the edge.

On the other hand, Team Liquid is the dark horse of the tournament. Despite some setbacks in recent events, their resilience, especially after a strong 3-0 win in the lower bracket, proves they are capable of big upsets. They could surprise us all in Bangkok.

In terms of tier rankings, G2 Esports leads the charge in Tier 1, being the most dominant team in recent months. Team Vitality follows closely, bringing in key players like Derke and Less, making them a dangerous contender. EDward Gaming (EDG) also stands as a strong team with potential, despite some inconsistency. Sentinels and DRX are strong Tier 2 contenders, with solid experience and form. T1 and Trace Esports, while still growing, fall under the Tier 3 and Tier 4 categories, respectively, and will need to prove themselves against top-tier competition.

Ultimately, G2 Esports remains the team to beat, but there’s plenty of room for surprises as Masters Bangkok 2025 unfolds.

Since a VALORANT tournament is just as much esports as Dota or CS, it comes with its own fan culture — plus the option to place a bet.

Not into taking risks? No worries — just watch stress-free and enjoy top-tier gameplay and fierce competition, because fighting for half a million dollars isn’t an opportunity that comes around often!
