The Gen.G vs Sentinels matchup will give us the first finalist of Masters Madrid, and both teams are coming from a long streak of wins.
On the one hand, we have the rookies from APAC who have been enjoying a long streak of wins that continued from the Pacific Kickoff to Madrid. Sentinels, on the other hand, has also been undefeated in this Masters and is one of the favorites to win it all.
These two have not gone against one another since Gen.G shifted regions, and while the North Americans are the clear favorites, the South Koreans have the potential to secure an upset as they did versus LOUD during the Swiss stage.
Here are our predictions on who will win this matchup and secure the Grand Final of Masters Madrid.
Gen.G
The South Koreans are enjoying an 8-match winning streak that began in the Pacific Kickoff, and they have proved themselves to be a strong rookie team by defeating names like EDG, PRX and LOUD on the big stage.
Gen.G’s incredible momentum will certainly make them a strong squad in this matchup, but getting a series win against Sentinels will be the hardest challenge yet for t3xture and co.

Sentinels
With IGL johnqt becoming the hero for the North Americans, Sentinels secured yet another victory versus LOUD, continuing their undefeated run in Madrid. This team is looking unstoppable on Split and Sunset so far.
While the experience of players like Sacy and TenZ on big stages will be in Sentinels’ favor, this team will need to prepare to get surprised against the Pacific rookies in this series, especially on Lotus.
