VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025: T1 THEN, T1 FOREVER

Oh. My. Clove. What an absolute banger of a finale! After weeks of tactical brilliance, insane flicks, and enough clutch plays to give any fan heart palpitations, T1 has officially planted the spike on the competition and walked away with the VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 trophy! 🏆

In a 3-2 nail-biter against G2 Esports, T1 proved that they weren’t just here to play—they were here to DOMINATE (and maybe break a few keyboards in the process).

Okay, confession time: I’m usually a casual lurker when it comes to Valorant esports. 👀 Like, I tune in for VCT Champs mid-year, but that’s about it. My esports heart used to belong to LCK and League Worlds, but lately, this “dumb-L game” has me fully hooked.

T1’s path to victory wasn’t all smooth sailing. They lost against EDward Gaming in the Upper Semifinals, which sent them tumbling into the Lower Bracket. But instead of folding, they came back with a vengeance, knocking out Team VIT 2-1 before clapping back at EDG with a 3-1 win in the Lower Final. Revenge served cold. 🥶

The final against G2 Esports was a certified THRILLER—rollercoaster loops, plot twists, and all. Both teams traded rounds like stocks, but when it mattered most, T1 pulled out the clutch of the century and secured their first-ever Masters title.

Oh, and did I mention that this broke viewership records? 👀 4.3 MILLION concurrent viewers. Yep. FOUR. POINT. THREE. MILLION.

With this W, T1 just made a BIG statement heading into the rest of the season. Can they keep up the momentum? Or will another team rise up and steal the crown?

Either way, I’m officially strapped in for the ride. VCT 2025 is just getting started, and if Bangkok was anything to go by—things are about to get wild.

Listen, bias runs deep. It’s practically in my DNA at this point.

I have been a ride-or-die Faker fan since the dawn of time. I’ve watched him 1v9 his way through history, I’ve seen him clutch titles, cry on stage, and still be the GOAT even when people doubted him. So, when I stumbled my way into the chaotic world of Valorant Esports, my brain did what any long-term, slightly delusional fan brain would do: stick to what it knows. T1? Yeah, sounds good. 

It’s actually hilarious because this is exactly what I did when I first started playing Valorant—except back then, my "bias mode" locked onto Fnatic instead. Don’t ask me why. I barely knew the roster. I barely knew the scene. I think I saw Boaster do a cartwheel once and went, “Yeah, that’s my team.” No logic. Just vibes.

But come on. We’ve all been there. When you’re thrown into a different ballgame, you NEED a starting point. You NEED something familiar. And for me, that’s T1. Even if it’s not the same game, even if it’s not the same players, even if I can’t name half the roster yet (I’m working on it okay!), the brand loyalty is coded in me at this point. Faker built my trust, and now I’m here blindly backing T1 in Valorant like a true esports NPC.

Will this bias fade as I learn the scene? Maybe. Probably. But until then, I’ll be here screaming T1 FIGHTINGGGG like I’ve done for years—no questions asked. 😎🔥
