Evil Geniuses, DRX, and T1 were all victorious on Day 1 of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo as they won their respective matches in the group stage.
Following their South Korean brethren, T1 also picked up a win against Chinese team EDward Gaming.
T1 averted losing in the first game of their series against EDward Gaming on Fracture by closing it out 13-10. The game was uncomfortably close for T1 as the first half ended in a 6-6 tie. Luckily, T1 opened up the second half with a four-round win streak to put themselves ahead, 10-6, and eventually win the game without ever losing the lead.
Then, T1 fell on Haven as EDward Gaming came back stronger, ending the game 13-7 in favor of the Chinese representatives. After that, the third and final game of the T1-EDward Gaming series on Pearl reached an overtime conclusion that saw T1 win the series. Tied 6-6 on halftime, T1 was on pace to win the game as they had a five-round win streak to start the second half. However, EDward Gaming put their foot down and proceeded to win six rounds for themselves and reached map point first before ultimately losing Round 24 to extend the game in overtime.
Following the outcome of Day 1 of VCT Masters Tokyo, Evil Geniuses, DRX, and T1 all move up to the Winner’s Match in their respective brackets, with EG and DRX facing each other next in Group B’s Winner’s Match. Meanwhile, their respective opponents all drop to the lower bracket where they all need to survive the Elimination and Decider matches for a chance to qualify for playoffs.
