Everything you need to know about G2 Esports vs 100 Thieves at VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1
Prediction
Last week G2 Esports took the stage by storm as they scored decisive victories against Evil Geniuses on both Lotus and Icebox. What was remarkable about them was that each member of the roster was firing off. The new addition, Jacob "icy" Lange, was the only player who finished the game with a negative K/D.
100 Thieves faced a somewhat shocking loss against Sentinels. While Icebox appeared to be close, Split was an absolute washout. Cryocells was the only player who managed to finish with a positive K/D. The squad has always been strong when it comes to strategies, and Boostio is a solid addition to that end.
100T has shown nothing this season that can give fans a glimmer of hope. Each player must show up firing on all cylinders today if they are to overtake G2 Esports—the clear favorites going into this match.
