FUT arrived at Lower Round 2 riding momentum from their upset win over G2 Esports. Vitality didn't care. The EMEA squad shut down every avenue, delivering one of their sharpest performances of the tournament.
Lotus set the tone early. Vitality dictated tempo from the first half, executing site takes with precision that FUT's defense simply couldn't match. Final score: 13-7.
Ascent was pure demolition. Vitality ran FUT off the map 13-2, exploiting every positional mistake and converting picks into clean rounds. By the time FUT found any real foothold, the series was already over.
FUT Esports finish their Masters London run with a Top 6 placement, their best since Masters Shanghai two years ago, and that includes scalps over NRG and G2. Respect the run. 👏
With Leviatán's demolition of XLG earlier in the day, all four semifinalists are now confirmed:
Vitality is the only EMEA team left in the field. Every round they win carries the weight of an entire region. 🏴

Two matches on Day 5 will decide who reaches the Grand Final. Here's what to expect.
This is the matchup VCT fans have been waiting for. Vitality, the last EMEA flag standing, takes on Leviatán, the Americas powerhouse who has looked increasingly dominant as the bracket has thinned out. The winner earns the final spot in the Grand Final.
Stylistically, this is a fascinating clash: EMEA's structured, utility-heavy playbook against Americas' tempo-driven, mechanically aggressive style. The VCT Americas scene has been building toward this kind of EMEA confrontation all split. Expect Vitality to lean on map control, Leviatán to push early picks, and both teams to scout each other's agent compositions relentlessly 📋
These compositions ripple into ranked queues too. If Vitality's utility-first approach wins out, expect a meta shift toward structured setups in solo queue. Track how it unfolds and test your own compositions on Amber.gg's Valorant ladders.
Edward Gaming versus Paper Rex is the matchup the bracket built toward. EDG brings China's tactical discipline and controlled mid-round adaptations; PRX brings Pacific's signature aggression and a roster that has looked nearly unbeatable in 2026.
The winner gets into the Grand Final with a day of rest and full bracket advantage. Every agent pick, including the current patch's most contested choices, will be deliberate. 🎯
Day 5 of VCT Masters London 2026 is shaping up to be the most intense day of the tournament. Don't miss it. 🔥
