How GEN.G (Almost) Won Masters Madrid

GEN.G had an (almost) historic run at Masters Madrid but fell short to Sentinels in the grand finals. Let's take a closer look at how they honored the pacific playstyle and worked their way all the way to the grand final, but what caused them to falter in the final moments.

I can never understand how platoon has only 28k subs its criminal

[@HaramLobo]

Best Valorant channel for real. I can’t understand too.

[@Envity0405]

Probably has to do with amount of uploads. His videos are fire though

[@pratiksonawane4449]

Channels like tacticalRab and commend too put out high quality valorant related videos and have nearly 50k subs not even 100k🥲. can't believe what's wrong with the sub?

[@bryanmulcare9083]

Your analysis videos are so cool. And I love how your analysis video of team improving and essay. Can’t to hear more in the next masters.

now they finally won, big win for apac!

It's 2 am but platoon uploaded so sleep can wait

[@im_happily_sadd3730]

I really enjoyed this video and I’m definitely looking forward to your future releases. Honestly, after Madrid, GenG seem to be much more lackluster than before. I think one of GenG’s biggest issues is the fact that they can’t cope with losing, or being on the back foot. Sentinels, even after losing to Leviathan, still look like one of the best teams in the world and are only continuing to improve. I’m also very excited to see Paper Rex on the international stage as, with Jingg back, they seem to be back to their 2023 selves and playing very dominant valorant.

[@chonkyboi._.]

That's the pacific upbringing. When an Asian fails, they are taught to become a beta

[@Bonk-]

Seeing GenG’s recent games, it looks like they aren’t doing as well

[@munkhjinmunkhbayar5952]

I do think GEN G will be back on form for Masters Shanghai though. PRX looked good last week beating GEN G but from today's performance? Their form has disappeared. I can only hope they'll also fix themselves before the international stage.

[@im_happily_sadd3730]

@@munkhjinmunkhbayar5952 Yeah, their match against TS was miserable to watch. I was not happy at all watching PRX play. Genuinely a miserable game to watch on their behalf. Props to TS for beating them, though

Awesome video!

[@ananthajitplayschess5785]

As a SEN supporter, I was crying in the finals as GEN G were clearly a bit better than SEN when it comes to their map pools, and I genuinely thought that SEN are gonna get 3-0 ed, but GEN G somehow throwed Bind and Got really nervous on icebox. The last map would have been like SEN vs LEV had it been GEN G's 3rd or 4th tournament... Glad I got to see Tenz winning live

[@sagram0re814]

You have to remember Sen came into the grand finals with a massive disadvantage - GenG were given double bans and first and third map pick iirc. That was a gauntlet for sen to go thru. And them winning with that much disadvantage shows its not a fluke (at least in the context of a bo5. A bo3 imo it could go either way) And of course a team with double bans and first picks will look better than the team with none XD

[@Gamer-xo7im]

Make a video how Sentinels fumbled in America Stage so many choke moments

@@brencancer not the point. I'm saying it doesn't really mean anything for TS or PRX. Coz TS is always gonna be the mid team, and prx is the one thats going to masters. This shit happens every year where TS upset the big teams, but always cant make it to masters lmao

Idc APAC still doesnt have any throphy, they make the game really unique and fun because this is entertainment for us.

[@Vishaaals]

Will getting a trophy change anything? PRX is the second most famous team , next to Sen. Next year everything will go to shit. Consistency wise PRX has been top team since 2022. Yes they do choke when they have to play with high stakes during the finals. Tell me one other team that has been that consistent with so many roster changes. (Benkai, Something, Monyet, Jinggg) Where is FPX, LOUD, Fnatic, NRG, EG? Including SEN. why are they not consistent? Why were the top teams scared of picking a rookie GenG to play against in Shanghai Playoffs? Now that PRX and GenG are in different brackets, they will make both brackets sweat to the max.
