Everything you need to know about the 100 Thieves vs KRU Esports match at VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1

Prediction

One of the first things to consider about today's 100 Thieves vs KRU Esports match is that 100T might not get to play their strongest map. This is because Bind has been KRU's perma-ban throughout the tournament.

With 100T's first map ban usually being Lotus, the first two maps of the series are highly likely to be Icebox and Split—both maps that 100T has looked hot and cold on.

If 100T sticks to what it has shown so far in the tournament, Cryocells will be on the Jett in Icebox and shift over to Astra on Split. A lot depends on how well can manage this switch-up in today's game. How fast Asuna comes alive on the server also has the potential to tip the results in 100T's favor.

All things considered, KRU is expected to win the match. However, if cryo and Asuna carry over their performance from the last two weeks, we could be looking at the latter's no-loss streak coming to an end.
