In the VCT Pacific region, the middle of the table saw a fight for the final playoff spots, and two teams caught in the rumble were Team Secret and Global Esports, both needing a win in their match against each other on May 15 to stay alive. Secret, in a higher spot in the standings, would secure a playoff spot with a win today, while Global Esports would start a list of needed outcomes to make it in by defeating Secret. If not, they’d be out of the playoffs completely.
As it turns out, Secret got the 2-0 win, securing their playoff spot to compete for one of three regional slots at Master Tokyo later this year. Starting on a close first map of Haven, Secret managed to scrape out a 13-9 win off the back of clutches like this one from Jayvee “DubsteP” Paguirigan.
