Gen.G vs Sentinels: Who will win VCT 2024 Masters Madrid?
Prediction
Gen.G vs Sentinels will be a rematch of the Upper Bracket finals. Both teams are coming into this matchup hungry to prove they are the real deal. The Korean roster has stunned many people with their undefeated run at the tournament so far. Duelist t3xture and rookie Controller Karon have been standout performers at the event so far.
Gen.G's deep map pool and tendency to have heroic moments from anyone have allowed them to be a threat in any type of situation. Sentinel and Duelist flex Meteor has also ramped up as the event has progressed and is looking extremely sharp. The team's clean strategies, flawless mechanics, and sound fundamentals have been the key factors for its success at the event.
Sentinels, on the other hand, can be easily termed as the team that has had the most grueling path to the VCT Masters Madrid Grand Finals. The North American roster played the most games and won the Americas Kickoff tournament. Sentinels has also played plenty of closely contested games at Masters Madrid.
Despite the odds and unwinnable scenarios, Sentinels always managed to find a way to come out on top. The team's incredible clutch potential and raw individual prowess from players like Controller TenZ and Duelist zekken have allowed them to be a lethal and unpredictable force.
Paired with a strong map pool and some of the best retake setups that fans have ever seen, Sentinels are undeniably one of the best teams in the world.
Gen.G are the expected favorite to lift the VCT Masters Madrid trophy. The Korean roster has a two-map ban advantage as the upper bracket team and has exceptional anti-stratting.
However, Sentinels often looks like a different beast when the roster plays against the same opponent multiple times. The result of this Grand Finals ultimately depends on which roster can show up better when the time comes to put up or shut up.
