🏆 Teams Road to VCT Americas Stage 2 Finals 2025

• Sentinels – Enter as top seed after a flawless 5-0 group stage. Already locked into Champions Paris, they're the favorites but may hold strategies back for the world stage.
• G2 Esports – Finished 4-1 in groups, lead the Americas in Championship Points, and remain one of the region's most consistent rosters. Their clash with Sentinels could define the region's true #1.
• NRG – Rebuilt their roster mid-season but looked strong in playoffs, defeating Leviatán 2-0. Their Paris hopes hinge entirely on beating Cloud9.
• Cloud9 – Eliminated 100 Thieves to reach Finals and are now chasing their first international appearance since 2021.
