VCT Stage 2 NA Challengers open Qualifiers result-

The second open qualifiers for NA challengers had many big names fighting for a spot in the main event. In the upper bracket of qualifiers, 100T and Evil Geniuses managed to smoothly qualify for the Challengers.

On the other hand, Sentinels and Ghost Gaming lost their top 16 games. They both needed to win 5 straight BO3 series to qualify for Challengers. Both these teams managed to accomplish that and qualified for the VCT Stage 2 NA Challengers. In the second open qualifiers, Version1 and Knights were considered one of the favourites to qualify for the main event but failed to secure a spot in challengers.

Sentinels received a tone of backlash from fans and analysts after losing their game in the upper bracket, they were already getting negative responses from fans regarding their performance in stage 1, first open qualifiers, and internal team and coach issues. And after that, they lost their first game just after re-signing Rawkus as their head coach. Luckily for Sentinels, they managed to qualify for the main event, but they needed to heavily rely on their star player TenZ to perform insanely in every series which is considered one of their weakness.
