The VCT Americas League has been an entertaining event to watch. The teams are currently competing in the Regular Season to reach the top six of the table in order to proceed to the Playoffs stage, where the top three will qualify for Masters Tokyo. Week 3 will end with a single match between Brazilian teams LOUD and FURIA.
Day 2 saw two series that went to a third map to decide the winner. The first was between Sentinels and Leviatán where Sentinels improved from their previous performance but were absolutely dominated by Leviatán on the third map and lost the BO3 (Best of Three) series by 2-1.
Trending
The second matchup was between Evil Geniuses and KRÜ Esports. The former finally secured their first win in the league as they defeated KRÜ 2-1 in the series.
LOUD vs FURIA- Who will continue their win streak in Week 3 of VCT Americas League?
Predictions
LOUD has been able to maintain its world champion performance since the beginning of 2023. They finished in second place in VCT LOCK//IN and have won both their matches in the Americas league.
FURIA, on the other hand, has been a big surprise. Their performance at LOCK//IN was decent, but it's been even better in the Americas league, winning both their matches. The matchup will most likely favor LOUD as the team has looked better and has more experience when it comes to competing at higher VCT events.
Head-to-head
Both these teams have faced each other before during the Champions Tour Brazil Stage 2: Challengers in 2022, where LOUD won the BO3 series by 2-0.
Recent results
LOUD's last match was against Cloud9 at VCT Americas League, where they won the BO3 series 2-1.
FURIA's most recent match was against LATAM's Leviatán where they defeated them by winning the BO3 series 2-1.
