Sentinels vs BBL Esports: Who will win at the Esports World Cup 2025 Group Stage?

Prediction

Sentinels may just win this one. They almost made it to the playoffs of Valorant Masters Toronto before being eliminated by Fnatic, who made it to the Grand Finals.

Sentinels have shown great grit and determination in the past, defeating Xi Lai Gaming, G2, Bilibili Gaming, and many more. They've been in great form throughout Valorant Americas Stage 1 and Masters Toronto, losing only four games in this entire run to prominent teams.

BBL Esports is also a well-drilled team and quite powerful once their sails catch the wind. This will be their first performance on an international stage, so tensions may just be high considering how experienced their opponents are. Players like LewN, Jamppi, and sociablEE from BBL Esports could make a huge difference, especially with Jamppi in the IGL position.

Overall, Sentinels might just come off on top based on their recent momentum.

Head-to-head

Sentinels and BBL Esports have never clashed against one another before. The two teams are locking horns at the Esports World Cup 2025 for the first time, so there is no head-to-head score to speak of.
