G2 Esports Eliminate XLG Esports from Valorant Masters Toronto 2025
In the first round of the lower bracket at Valorant Masters Toronto 2025, G2 Esports crushed Chinese champions XLG Esports with a confident 2-0 victory, eliminating them from the tournament.
The match was played on Icebox and Haven. G2 steamrolled through Icebox with a score of 13:3, showing complete control. Haven was slightly more competitive, but the result was the same — 13:8 in favor of the American powerhouse.
XLG become the first team eliminated from the playoffs, finishing in 7–8th place and walking away with $35,000.
Match Overview
Map 1 — Icebox (13:3)
G2 started off aggressively, with their defense proving impenetrable. Once sides switched, their attack was just as coordinated, giving XLG no room to breathe. The Chinese squad looked disorganized and failed to contest any key moments.
Map 2 — Haven (13:8)
XLG attempted to bounce back with more structured play, but G2’s discipline and firepower prevailed. The map highlighted G2’s individual brilliance and game sense, especially in critical rounds where they outplayed their opponents in clutch situations.
Final Thoughts
G2 Esports reaffirmed their status as one of the strongest teams in the world. Their calm, precise play left no opportunity for XLG to recover. On the other hand, XLG failed to show the form that made them champions in China, and their quick exit will surely raise questions back home.
Stay tuned as G2 prepare for their next challenge — a crucial match against either RRQ or Fnatic, which could define their path to the lower bracket final.
