Gen.G vs LOUD: Who will win the second match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid?
Prediction
Gen.G has appeared to be in tip-top form in VCT 2024 so far. They have shown solid team compositions with a strong offensive presence in the form of Kim "t3xture" Na-ra and a stable backline for clutch situations.
LOUD, arguably the most consistent team in the Americas, have appeared a bit shaky this time around. While they are still their region's dominant force, the absence of Erick "aspas" Santos is noticeable in a few key moments, where the young gun hitherto saved LOUD from a seemingly inevitable fate.
The outcome of the Gen.G vs LOUD matchup at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid could depend on how well the players, especially the Duelists, show up on the server. Going by the teams' performances in their respective kickoff tournaments this year, Gen.G appear to have a slight edge.
Head-to-head
There has only been one Gen.G vs LOUD matchup in VCT history. The two squads faced each other in the round-of-16 match at VCT LOCK//IN in Sao Paulo in 2023. The Brazillian squad went on to win the series and ended their tournament run with a second-place finish.
