Prediction

G2 Esports was among the few teams that made a lineup change entering Stage 1. By adding rookie Valorant player icy the team was able to add some more firepower to its roster. So far, this team has shown some decent performances, but not to a point where they can be considered one of the best squads in the Americas.

LOUD has presented underwhelming performances in Stage 1. The Brazilian powerhouse has struggled to put up a fight. This squad's only win was against the VCT Masters Madrid winners, Sentinels, where LOUD seemed like it was back in form.

This match of G2 Esports vs LOUD favors the former due to its performance in Stage 1 so far. However, this opponent is almost always a scary team to go up against when it is facing imminent elimination. An interesting part of this Bo3 series is how its results also determine the fate of some other teams like Sentinels and Evil Geniuses in terms of advancing to the next stage.
