Gen.G win VCT Masters Shanghai: Final standings and recap

Declan Mclaughlin

VCT Masters Shanghai has concluded with Gen.G claiming its first international trophy. Here you can find everything about the tournament including a recap, standings, and scores.

After days of heart-stopping Valorant, Masters Shanghai has finished with VCT Pacific finally lifting a trophy after so many near wins. Gen.G claimed the first trophy for the league thanks to a 3-2 win over Team Heretics in the Grand Final.

The South Korean team went undefeated across the entire event, only dropping five maps across six series. After making the Masters Madrid Grand Final, Gen.G looked burnt out during regular season play but managed to secure the second seed from VCT Pacific.

Playing in the Swiss Stage seemed to revive the team as the roster only got stronger with every match it played. Gen.G looked like they were going to choke away another Grand Final up against Heretics, giving Heretics two map wins early on.

However, the squad pulled together to win the final two maps of the series to pull out the victory.
