Trace Esports entered the VCT 2025 China Kickoff with multiple victories against teams such as EDward Gaming, Dragon Ranger Gaming, and Bilibili Gaming. However, moving forward, the team seemed to have lost momentum in the Kickoff final against EDward Gaming.

During this second meeting between the two teams at the Kickoff tournament, Trace Esports lost with a devastating 1-3 scoreline. Their overall performance also hasn't been that impressive, and other teams have been more dominant against more powerful opponents ahead of VCT Masters Bangkok 2025.

Zhang (LuoK1ng) Zhanpeng
Lu (Kai) Zhinan
Song (FengF) Xuefeng
Ho Shun (heybay) Hei

In the EMEA Kickoff Grand Finals, TL performed incredibly well but unfortunately lost to Vitality with a close 3-2 scoreline. Overall, their chances to dominate at VCT Masters Bangkok 2025 are noteworthy, though numerous powerful opponents await them on the international stage.

Georgio (Keiko) Sanassy

At number six, we have the NA darlings, Sentinels. The team won three out of their five matches against teams like 100 Thieves, LOUD, and MIBR. Interestingly, their only two losses come from their matches against their old nemesis, G2 Esports.

Sentinels' performance had been praiseworthy ahead of the Americas Kickoff grand finals. In fact, at the finals, they still powered through two maps in the best-of-five series. Unfortunately, G2 still took the victory, defeating Sentinels 3-2. Nevertheless, the team has made a name for being unpredictable and could still surprise everyone at VCT Masters Bangkok.

The Sentinels roster is:

Mohamed Amine (johnqt) Ouraid
Marshall (N4RRATE) Massey
Zachary (zekken) Patrone
Sean (Bang) Bazerra
Jordan (Zellsis) Montemurro

5) T1

Moving on, T1 has only had two losses, both against DRX, the winners of the APAC 2025 Kickoff grand finals. Overall, they are in incredible form and have defeated giants like Paper Rex and Gen.G.

Both of their losses against DRX have also been close. Players like BuZz, Stax, and Meteor have been rather strong throughout the competition and the team's combined efforts can help them win big at VCT Masters Bangkok 2025.

Kim (Stax) Gu-taek
Kim (Meteor) Tae-oh
Go (Silvan) Young-sup
Yu (BuZz) Byeong-cheol
Ham (iZu) Woo-ju

4) EDward Gaming

EDward Gaming showed great form during the China 2025 Kickoff. They played six matches and lost only once. However, this loss was rather polarized as defeat greeted them with a 0-2 scoreline against Trace Esports. Still, the team recovered quickly with wins against opponents like Bilibili Gaming and Dragon Ranger Gaming.

Finally, they managed to earn their retribution against Trace Esports at the China 2025 Kickoff finals winning with a 3-1 scoreline. The team has previously shown great potential with players like Smoggy, Nobody, and ZmjjKK always being showstoppers at international events. VCT Bangkok 2025 may just be one of those.

Hsieh (S1mon) Meng-sun
Wan (CHICHOO) Shunzhi
Wang (nobody) Senxu (IGL)
Zheng (ZmjjKK) Yongkang
Zhang (Smoggy) Zhao

3) DRX

Moving into the top three, we have DRX, the winners of the APAC 2025 Kickoff finals. The team has only played four matches against opponents like Gen.G, T1, and Nongshim RedForce. They managed to secure wins in all of these matches, defeating T1 twice in a dominant fashion.

Overall, the team's form looks good, with players like MaKo and Flashback standing out. If they can keep up this momentum, DRX could have a chance to win at VCT Masters Bangkok 2025.

Kang (BeYN) Ha-bin
Song (HYUNMIN) Hyun-min
Kim (MaKo) Myeong-kwan (IGL)
No (free1ng) Ha-jun
Cho (Flashback) Min-hyuk

Overall, their form has been impressive and their momentum appears unstoppable for the time being. Still, many opponents can take them down on the international stage.

The roster for Team Vitality is:

Nikita (Derke) Sirmitev
Nikita (trexx) Chrerednichenko
Kimmie (Kicks) Leasner
Felipe (Less) de Loyola Basso
Saif (Sayf) Jibraeel

Finally, the last S-tier team in this list is G2 Esports, a team that has dominated VCT time and time again. They defeated Cloud9, Leviatan, and Sentinels at the Americas 2025 Kickoff with a 2-0 score.

G2 Esports then went on to defeat their nemesis Sentinels at the Americas Grand Finals with a 3-2 scoreline. Players like trent, valyn, and leaf, have all been very strong throughout the competition and may just continue the wonderful form during VCT Masters Bangkok 2025.

Jacob (valyn) Batio
Alexander (jawgemo) Mor
Jonah (JonahP) Pulice
Trent (trent) Cairns
Nathan (leaf) Orf

These are all the VCT Masters Bangkok 2025 teams' power rankings. However, any team could win on the international stage, as they all have great experience and very potent players.
