Predictions

While both teams look pretty strong on paper, Acend has a clear advantage over their rivals based on both teams' current form. Acend has won 4 out of their past five matches, while M3 Champions have only managed to win 2 out of their share of five matches.

Acend has defeated M3 Champions three times out of the four times they’ve played each other. Acend clearly seems to be the better team with players who can effectively communicate and pull off moves with teamwork to great effect.

However, it can’t be said that Acend will win tonight as M3 Champions too have some moves that they’ve previously showcased in the tournament and aren’t to be taken lightly.

M3 Champions will have a tough time competing against Acend in the Valorant Champions Tour quarter-finals. Even though they are vastly out-skilled by Acend players, it wouldn’t be fair to write them off just yet. M3 Champions are looking to cause a major upset tonight.
