The 5th and 6th team to be confirmed for Masters Madrid are named after VCT China is coming to an end with Edward Gaming and Fun Plus Pheonix make it through to the grand final of VCT China kick-off confirming their spot.
The international favourites to win the tournament, EDG, showed up today with their star player, ZmjjKK, steps up big time to send them to madrid dropping 47 frags across the two maps on KAY/0 and Raze in a 2-0 victory over Trace Esports.
FunPlus Pheonix also got through with seeming ease going 2-0 against Dragon Racer Gaming with their respective star player, Life, dropping 46 frags on Jett and Yoru. Both of these teams star players really stepped up when it was necessary today.
After getting the first seed in VCT China, EDG only had to win 2 games to make it to Madrid and that is what they did dropping 1 map to Wolves ESports and dropping no maps in the crucial game for Masters.
They have quickly become a fan favourite after last years run at VCT Masters Tokyo with fans taken a by from ZmjjKK’s AWP-ing skills and his flicky Jett style which captured the hearts of fans across the world and pushing the agenda of the VCT to allow a new league for their Chinese teams.
With EDG playing so many games last year, their team was burned out at the AfreecaTV League where they got grouped by Team Liquid and then waited until VCT China to kick-off where they didn’t disappoint at all.
EDG and FPX will join Karmine Corp, Team Heretics, Paper Rex and Gen-G at Masters Madrid beginning on the 14th of March with the final two teams to be announced on Saturday from VCT Americas with a huge game between NRG and Sentinels and LOUD vs EG to decide the final 8 teams to make it to Madrid.
With giants such as FNATIC, Team Liquid and DRX not making it to Masters, will their be a new crown given over or will Paper Rex finally win themselves an international trophy after multiple top three finishes?
