G2 Esports vs LOUD: Who will win the Upper Bracket Semifinals Match 2 of the VCT Stage-1 Masters Reykjavik?
The VCT Stage 1 Masters Playoffs have been following a best out of three map rule and the same follows with his match. This means the team that secures two maps gets to go to the Upper Bracket Finals.
Predictions
All the teams that are currently present in the VCT Stage 1 Masters are all equally skilled and have given a great fight in every single match so far. G2 Esports and LOUD are two teams who have shown tremendous shows in their respective matches and are facing each other now.
While G2 Esports has Oscar "Mixwell" Canellas, LOUD has Erick "aspas" Santos, both of whom are high-skilled MVPs who have made game-changing plays in the past, which is something to look out for.
In terms of firepower, LOUD seems to have an upper hand as their fraggers seem to be in great shape and have barely missed spots that could cost the team. Which makes their chances of winning sightly higher if they can make aggressive plays well.
Overall, both the teams have equal chances of winning here. However, LOUD does seem to be in a better shape than G2 Esports and can maintain a 2-1 score-line.
