Wolves Esports have defeated Sentinels at the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Masters Toronto to reach the upper bracket final.
The team performed miracles throughout the tournament, defeating some of the best each region has to offer.
They have one last stop on their way to the Grand Final as they take on the Paper Rex hype train.
Wolves Esports toppled the undefeated Gen.G Esports
The team owned by the British football club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, have proven to be a formidable team at VCT Masters Toronto.
Wolves Esports have defeated the likes of Team Heretics, Bilibili Gaming, and Rex Regum Qeon to make it to the upper bracket final.
Gen.G Esports were the favourites to beat them, having been unstoppable before their match against Wolves Esports.
The start of their match was like any other for Gen.G Esports as they took the first six rounds on Split.
Wolves Esports were able to pull back a few rounds, but it wasn’t enough as Gen.G Esports took a comfortable 9-3 lead.
Gen.G Esports looked set to take the first map, however, Wolves Esports had other plans.
Despite the deficit, Wolves Esports remained confident as they took round by round to even the score.
Wolves Esports’ in-game leader, Pong ‘SiuFatBB’ Ka-hei, could constantly be seen out of his seat, as he hyped up his team and the crowd.
With the crowd behind them, Wolves Esports were able to make an incredible comeback to take the map 13-11.
The following map was an unfamiliar one for Wolves Esports, having not played Sunset at all this year.
This began to show as Gen.G Esports were able to take another comfortable lead once again.
This time around for Wolves Esports, they were able to gain a few more rounds in the first half.
Including SiuFatBB’s clutch, which caused much confusion among the remaining Gen.G Esports members as he stuck a recon arrow on one of the players.
However, it was the second half where Wolves Esports found their form, as the team’s aggression overwhelmed Gen.G Esports.
Ending the game in style, it was SiuFatBB against Gen.G Esports’ Ha ‘Ash’ Hyun-cheol in the 1v1.
SiuFatBB was brought down to six health, whilst Ash had seven bullets left in his Vandal.
In a moment you had to be there for, SiuFatBB came out on top to take the series for Wolves Esports.
Wolves Esports to face the Paper Rex hype train
Wolves Esports now face their greatest challenge yet.
Another underdog team.
Paper Rex is the third seed from the Pacific region but has proven to be an unstoppable force.

I trust my team. [If we] keep going round-by-round, step-by-step, then it’s all good for me.
