Sentinels has been dominating the VCT Americas region, with the team going undefeated in the current stage of competition. G2 Esports may have stumbled a little, especially compared to its performance at the start of the year, but the team’s strong play still ensures this upper stage final will be close.
Betting tip: Considering G2 and Sentinels have shown similar performance levels of late, it’s a good idea to bet on the total maps being over 2.5, especially considering the potential payout.
My Sentinels vs G2 Esports pick: Sentinels to win at 2.64 odds at GG.BET.
Sentinels is going into the match as the underdog, despite winning against G2 in the group stage and going undefeated in this tournament so far. With zekken and N4RRATE continuing to lead the team in frags, paired with Zellsis and Johnqt actually performing well lately, siding with the underdog Sentinels may be the way to go for a payout here.
But even if Sentinels causes an upset, the match likely won’t be easy. G2 is known to have strong eco rounds, and betting on the team winning most pistol rounds is a good idea. There’s also a high chance the match will go to the third map, and while leaf’s stand-in BABYBAY has settled into his role effectively, his individual plays usually aren’t enough to win his team the game.
JonahP and jawgemo have been playing well, but Sentinels could disrupt G2 with its willingness to make sharp, aggressive plays. It’s by no means a sure thing, but the likelihood of a SEN win is enticing with the team positioned as a betting underdog.

Sentinels is going into the match with confidence thanks to the team’s recent run of play. Its confidently aggressive style will likely win Sentinels the first map, even if there’s a good chance that G2 wins the second. The third map may be close, but Sentinels will likely come out on top thanks to its newfound confidence that had been lacking since TenZ and Sacy left the team.
