Team Heretics takes the Masters Shanghai revenge against Gen. G and beat them by 2-1 to become the first team to qualify for Valorant Champions 2024 playoffs. Gen. G has been pushed down to the Lower Bracket and will play the elimination match against the winner of FPX vs Sentinels.
Talking about the revenge, Benjyfishy said, "It feels amazing, Gen G are an amazing team. We worked really hard and I think when we played against them in the first game, we were not nearly as good and we improved a lot. So, I am really proud of us for taking them down because they are so good."
