VCT NA Last Chance Qualifier: Shopify Rebellion vs Cloud9 prediction
Cloud9 has had a pretty good run recently in the MCT Premiership S3, with Shopify Rebellion having a less than ideal run at the VCT NA S2 Challengers. Shopify Rebellion and Cloud9 have gone head-to-head four times before the start of this tournament. They are now up against each other in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals.
Cloud9 has had a better run than Shopify Rebellion, but Rebellion has faced better teams, so it’s understandable that they lost a few more matches than Cloud9. Both teams are almost equally matched on paper, and fans tuning in will be hoping for an amazing match.
Head-to-head
The teams have faced each other four times before this, and both teams have won two games each. Cloud9 is the clear favorite, but Shopify Rebellion is not to be underestimated by any means.
Recent results of Shopify Rebellion and Cloud9
Shopify Rebellion has won only two of their five recent matches in the Valorant Champions Tour NA S2 Challenger, defeating Cloud9 on one occasion. Cloud9 has won all of their recent matches in the MCT Premiership S3, which means they are in much better form at the moment.
