Leviatán vs LOUD is the Group B qualifier match for the Playoffs in the VCT Americas Kickoff. Eleven teams in this tournament have been trying their best to make it to the Playoffs from the Group Stage. In the former, they will compete in a single elimination format to secure their spots in the VCT Masters Madrid.
Day 4 of the Americas Kickoff had two intense Bo3 (Best-of-three) series. The first one saw MIBR eliminate FURIA and register a 2-0 upset victory, allowing them to advance to the next match. The second one was a close series between 100 Thieves and Sentinels, the latter of which was eventually able to secure a 2-1 win to keep their campaign alive.
The following section will talk about Leviatán and LOUD, trying to determine who's more likely to come out on top.
Leviatán vs LOUD - Which team will make it to the Playoffs at VCT Americas Kickoff?
Prediction
Leviatán's disappointing performance in 2023 led to many changes within the roster. With new inclusions like aspas, C0M, and tex, their current lineup is considered the superteam of the Americas. While their first match in the Kickoff was not the cleanest, this new Leviatán squad did come up with interesting compositions to secure themselves a win.
LOUD saw a singular change in their roster recently. A new Duelist, qcK, joined the team. While many doubted this new squad, they were able to keep their heads up and deliver an extraordinary performance in their first match of the Americas Kickoff.
This match of Leviatán vs LOUD heavily favors the latter purely due to the talent and success achieved by the team's core players in 2023. However, their opponent team is full of athletes who are insanely skilled when it comes to individual talent. As such, they could overwhelm LOUD.
Head-to-head
These teams have faced each other multiple times. The most recent was during VCT Americas League last year where LOUD won the Bo3 series by 2-0.
