G2 Esports performed surprisingly well in their victory over Evil Geniuses on Sunday, suggesting that Nathan “leaf” Orf’s role swap was the right call. The change in team composition also enabled Jacob “valyn” Batio to show what he’s capable of, finishing the series with a 1.59 performance rating, while Trent “Trent” Cairns posted a 1.49.
G2 Esports looked very clean, but partly it was because Evil Geniuses didn’t play well, especially on Icebox. Nevertheless, G2 deserve praise for their performance, especially since they’ve only recently acquired Jacob “icy” Lange.
100 Thieves got stomped by Sentinels in Week 1 of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1, managing 16 rounds across the two maps. Despite the loss, 100T held on well against the VCT 2024 Masters Madrid champions.
G2 Esports didn’t look great in the VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff, but they have improved significantly this tournament. Whether that’s an indication of great things to come or just a flash in the pan is up to debate — but at plus money, G2 are an easy choice to defeat 100 Thieves.

Sentinels secured their 11th victory of the season last week when they took down 100 Thieves. The underdogs showed some resistance, but that was more of an indication of 100T’s strength rather than Sentinels struggling.
With their success last month, Sentinels will remain the world’s no.1 VALORANT esports team until proven otherwise. And while Leviatan would be considered a threat for Sentinels before the season started, it’s tough to believe that now.
Leviatan formed a very scary roster during the offseason, led by 2022 VALORANT Champions gold medallist Erick “aspas” Santos. But despite all the raw talent, they could only manage a top-six finish in the VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff.
They took a map from Sentinels in February and probably should’ve beaten Cloud9 on Saturday. But Leviatan are not at the same level as Sentinels.
