FUT Esports put together one of the most lopsided performances of the VALORANT Masters London 2026 playoffs, rolling over G2 Esports 13-6 on Ascent in Lower Round 1 on June 14. The result gives FUT a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series, meaning G2 now faces the uncomfortable reality of needing to win two straight maps to avoid elimination.
How FUT controlled Ascent
The map veto told its own story before a single round was played. FUT banned Breeze, G2 removed Haven, and the two sides settled into a sequence that left Split as the potential decider.
FUT’s earlier tournament results painted a picture of a team capable of brilliance and collapse in equal measure. Wins over Full Sense and NRG showed they could compete with top-tier opposition. Losses to Team Vitality and EDward Gaming showed they could also fold under pressure from it.
