T1, the winners of Masters Bangkok in March, could not defend their title as they were eliminated during Stage 1 in Pacific and did not qualify for the event.[3]
Paper Rex from Pacific defeated Fnatic from EMEA in the best-of-five Grand Final series, 3–1, and secured their first global title.[4] Their victory, alongside T1's Masters Bangkok triumph, also makes the VCT Pacific league the first league to win both Masters events in a single season.
Before the finals, an exhibition match was played to show the game's newest map, Corrode, based on Mont-Saint-Michel, France. It was won 13-7 by Team Toast, composed of Disguised Toast, TenZ, meL, Cobbie, and Sidsity.[5][6]
