Sentinels vs Gen.G - Which team will secure a playoff spot in Valorant Champions 2024?
Predictions
2024 has been an important year for Sentinels as they succeeded in reviving their past glory and emerging as a top-tier team. By winning major titles like Americas Kickoff and Masters Madrid early on, the team solidified itself as a formidable force this season. However, lately, their performance has taken quite a hit as they haven't secured many wins under their belt.
Gen.G, on the other hand, is arguably the best team in the world. With top-place finishes in each event of the 2024 season, alongside two regional titles and the Masters Shanghai trophy, Gen.G has set a new bar for not just the Pacific region but also the rest of the world. Their consistency in producing positive results has made them a scary team to face.
The upcoming Sentinels vs Gen.G match favors the latter as they have performed significantly better throughout this year. However, Sentinels did put on a brilliant performance in their most recent match and could continue that momentum, coming into this series.
Head-to-head
These two teams have faced each other three times in the 2024 season. Gen.G won two of these, leaving Sentinels with only one win. Their most recent encounter was during Valorant Champions 2024's opening match, where Gen.G won the Bo3 series by 2-0.
Recent results
Sentinels' most recent match was against FunPlus Phoenix in Valorant Champions 2024 where they won the Bo3 series by a 2-0 scoreline.
Gen.G's most recent match was against Team Heretics in the same event where they lost the Bo3 series 1-2.
