NAVI knocked out of VCT Masters Tokyo despite Shao racking up kills with Brimstone and Astra
The group stage of VCT Masters Tokyo continues this week, and day three already gave fans the first upset of this year’s Masters: Chinese VALORANT team Edward Gaming eliminated NAVI from the tournament today.
In a close match with excellent play from both sides, EDG took down NAVI 2-0 from the lower bracket. This gives NAVI an 0-2 record at Masters, making them just the second team to leave the tournament. While the young Chinese players managed to get the best of NAVI in the end, it was the veteran presence of players like Shao and SUYGETSU that kept the match extremely close all the way until the last round.
