The second week of VCT Americas Stage 2 has concluded almost instantly, with every single match ending in a 2-0 sweep. Here are the result:

  • 2Game Esports 0-2 G2 Esports
  • FURIA 0-2 Sentinels
  • 100 Thieves 2-0 KRÜ Esports
  • NRG 2-0 LOUD
  • Cloud9 2-0 Evil Geniuses
  • MIBR 0-2 LEVIATÁN

North America is dominating in the second week, meanwhile Brazil’s representatives are stuck as their chances of playing in the playoffs grow slimmer. LOUD, 2Game Esports, MIBR, and Furia are now in the bottom four of the current standings.

The two Ascension teams squared up in a duel between 2Game Esports and G2 Esports to start the action. JonahP led the charge with a 1.44 rating and 38 kills as G2 won in less than 40 rounds.

2Game is fighting for a playoff spot and a chance to keep their VCT spot for 2026. If both teams make it to Champions and 2Game finishes higher than G2, they’ll keep their VCT slot. If not, only G2 will return next season, and 2Game may have to go through Ascension again.

Later that day, Sentinels swept FURIA 2-0, crushing them. After winning 13–4 on Sunset, they got off to a great start, then delivered the region’s second-ever 13-0 to close the series.

The North American teams in Group Omega performed admirably as well. With the acquisition of Kess, 100 Thieves defeated KRÜ Esports 2-0 and continued their winning streak. By sweeping LOUD, which included a flawless performance on Haven and a victory on Corrode, a map both teams were making their stage debuts on, NRG secured their first victory of the year.

As the only team in the group with a spotless record thus far, 100 Thieves now leads Group Omega after that victory. While NRG’s victory prevented LOUD from catching up to their regional competitors, the outcome also allowed them to overtake KRÜ in the overall rankings.

Both Cloud9 and LEVIATÁN concluded the week with 2-0 victories, Cloud9 defeating Evil Geniuses and LEVIATÁN defeating MIBR. Both teams achieved their first head-to-head victory of the season against their opponents. Cloud9 has taken the lead in Group Alpha, and LEVIATÁN has finally won their first series.

As for MIBR, the struggles continue. They haven’t won a series since Masters: Toronto, and their window to qualify for Champions is quickly shrinking, with several teams close behind them in the standings.

Stat-wise, LEVIATÁN’s in-game leader kiNgg was the standout performer of the week, with a 1.83 rating and 2.75 K/D.
