KR\u00dc Esports will have to go the long way to reach the VCT Masters Copenhagen playoffs after their tight match against Guild Esports on Monday ended in defeat. <\/p>\n

The outcome sent the\u00a0Argentine\u00a0franchise\u00a0to the decisive match to compete for the final position in Group A’s playoff bracket. In order to advance, KR\u00dc Esports will take on\u00a0the winner of the elimination match between\u00a0LOUD and OpTic in a decider match. <\/p>\n

The matchup between KRU and Guild was fiercely contested, especially given that two of the three maps finished in overtime for the teams. Guild has officially advanced to the event’s playoff bracket, being the first team to do so in the tournament.<\/p>\n

This is Guild’s first\u00a0international Valorant<\/a> Masters tournament appearance, whereas KR\u00dc has four international appearances, including three Masters events and a Champions attendance last year. After winning Group A, Guild will be the top-seeded team entering the knockout stage.<\/p>\n

With the exception of the Fracture map, which concluded with a score of 13-6 in favor of Guild, this victory was not an easy one for the EMEA squad to achieve. The opening map on Bind finished in overtime, with KR\u00dc coming out on top despite trailing for the majority of the map.<\/p>\n

Map three on Icebox was by far the most intense map in the tournament thus far. KR\u00dc led 7-5 at halftime, putting them just a couple of\u00a0rounds away from the playoff bracket. But Guild caught their rhythm in the second half, winning round after round against KR\u00dc and forcing overtime.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0this was not the longest overtime period ever seen in a VCT match, fans were kept on the edge of\u00a0their seats for the entirety of the overtime. As the game drew to a close,\u00a0Guild took the lead after catching up to KR\u00dc during overtime.<\/p>\n

Guild won rounds 28, 29, and 30, thereby seeing\u00a0the British franchise\u00a0make their\u00a0way\u00a0to the playoff stage, gaining points for their Champions dreams. This victory brings\u00a0them a bit closer to appearing in the grand final in their maiden Masters appearance.<\/p>\n
