Sentinels vs 100 Thieves - VCT Americas Kickoff: Predictions, where to watch, and more

Sentinels vs 100 Thieves is the elimination match of Group B in the VCT Americas Kickoff event. The eleven teams have been giving it their all to secure spots in the Playoffs Stage. Due to the inclusion of four franchised leagues in 2024, each region will only get two slots in the upcoming VCT Masters Madrid.

Day 3 saw only one match scheduled, but G2 Esports and KRÜ Esports went on to give viewers an extremely entertaining series. Both teams showed up with great strategies and were able to win on each other's map picks. However, G2 Esports managed to push past the finish line to secure themselves a 2-1 win in the Bo3 (best-of-three) series.

Sentinels vs 100 Thieves - Which team will avoid elimination at VCT Americas Kickoff?

Predictions

Sentinels' rocky performance last year led to some interesting roster changes as Johnqt and Zellsis were added to the team. This new iteration has given some incredible performances and already won an OFF//SEASON event. In their first match against Americas' champions, LOUD, Sentinels stood strong and the series had a nail-biting finish.

100 Thieves has been rather inconsistent for the past couple of years. However, the choice to bring in Boostio and eeiu has somewhat helped curb this issue. In their opening match against the superteam Leviatán, 100 Thieves was able to secure a map win and lost the series by a very small margin. This showed how capable they are of becoming the dark horse of this event.

The Sentinels vs 100 Thieves matchup slightly favors the former due to the amount of experience each player has in the team. However, 100 Thieves is presumably going to make things difficult for the opponents. Neither team is guaranteed an easy win.
