Gen.G Eliminate EDward Gaming with 2:0 Victory at EWC 2025 Valorant

Gen.G Esports secured a confident 2:0 win over EDward Gaming in the final decider match of Group D at the Esports World Cup 2025. Played in Riyadh on July 10, this best-of-three series determined which team would claim the second playoff spot from the group. With strong map control and standout individual performances, Gen.G left no chance for the Chinese roster and advanced to the next stage of the tournament.

• Lotus — 13:8
• Haven — 13:4

From the first round on Lotus to the final round on Haven, Gen.G maintained complete control over the pace and rhythm of the match. Their aggressive map control, decisive rotations, and clinical execution left EDward Gaming struggling to respond.

With this victory, Gen.G clinch the second playoff spot in Group D and continue their pursuit of the Esports World Cup 2025 title. EDward Gaming, after back-to-back defeats, are officially eliminated from the tournament.

Standout Players from Gen.G:

• Ash (Fade): 17/10/8 KDA, 223 ACS — consistent impact and clutch utility usage across both maps.
• t3xture (Raze): 14/16/4 KDA, 200 ACS — strong entry plays and high-pressure positioning.
• Munchkin (Viper): 17/11/5 KDA, 218 ACS — vital in controlling post-plant situations and anchoring key areas of the map.

In contrast, EDward Gaming faced severe difficulties throughout the series. On Lotus, Smoggy finished with a 0/16/12 KDA and just 85 ACS, a stark representation of how Gen.G’s relentless momentum suppressed EDG’s efforts.

Despite moments of resilience, EDward Gaming managed to secure only four rounds on each map, falling short in both firepower and coordination when it mattered most.
