VCTCN London Masters Prize Breakdown: EDG Wins $125,000 for Third Place!

As the youthful storm LEV triumphed over PRX 3-2, the entire Valorant London Masters tournament concluded. Prior to the finals, most likely believed that the formidable PRX would prevail, yet even a team as strong as them failed to stop the rise and resurgence of this young force. As the youngest team ever to reach the finals, LEV consistently adjusts quickly after a loss, forgetting the defeat of the previous map and refocusing on the next one. They concentrate intensely on winning their gunfights, improving and gaining confidence with each round!

This is perhaps the charm of the young storm. They achieved a one-versus-five run from the lower bracket, starting with an initial loss to PRX, then defeating TH, XLG, VIT, and EDG in succession, eventually returning to the starting point of their tournament journey to face PRX again, winning the championship 3-2. So, sometimes falling to the lower bracket does not mean defeat; instead, it brings more matches, accumulates more experience, and fosters a spirit of facing death with courage. With only one chance, they actually perform even better! As the champions of this Masters, LEV will take the largest share of the $1 million total prize pool—$350,000!

The runner-up PRX receives $200,000, marking yet another second-place finish for them. Having lost in the Masters finals twice in a row, this is undoubtedly painful. As for the VCTCN teams, EDG secured third place and $125,000. The other two CN teams, XLG earned $50,000 for finishing fifth/sixth, while DRG took $15,000 for placing eleventh to twelfth. This is arguably the best result for the CN region in recent years and a promising start. We hope the CN region continues to perform well in the upcoming 2026 Global Championship. Go team!
