EDward Gaming just reminded everyone why they’re one of the most resilient teams in competitive VALORANT. The Chinese squad outlasted FUT Esports 2-1 in the upper bracket quarterfinals of VCT Masters London, with a razor-thin 14-12 victory on Pearl serving as the series highlight.
The win keeps EDG alive in one of the year’s most important tournaments, a $1 million prize pool event running from June 6 to June 21 at London’s Copper Box Arena.
How the series unfolded
Pearl, EDG’s map pick, turned into the kind of back-and-forth affair that makes neutral viewers forget to blink. EDG ultimately secured the map 14-12, but FUT made them earn every single round.
FUT had selected Haven as their map of choice. Fracture rounded out the map pool as the potential decider, completing a three-map marathon that tested both teams’ depth and composure.
