LOUD vs Team Liquid: Who will win the upper bracket match 2 of the VCT Stage-1 Masters Reykjavik?
Since both these teams are among the top eight contestants in the series, it can be expected that the match will be really delightful to watch. Just like in the group stage, the playoffs will also follow a best-out-of-three ruling, and the winner of the two maps will move on to the upper bracket semifinals.
Predictions
Both teams are top-tier teams competing in the VCT Stage-1 Masters and have shown great performances in the past. Hailing from South America, LOUD has gained immense attention and praise for their performances; however, European giant Team Liquid has always been consistent where it matters the most.
Judging from both teams’ performance history, they can offer a pretty even fight. This is why it can be hard to determine who will win. That said, LOUD does show a slightly higher chance of winning this encounter. But that is only speculation as of now.
Head-to-head
Neither team has ever competed against each other as they hail from different continents and will be facing each other for the first time in the VCT Stage-1 Masters Playoffs.
Recent results
Looking at the last five match history of both the teams, LOUD has maintained a flawless performance overall. However, Team Liquid has performed admirably in the VCT Stage-1 Masters and hasn't lost a single match yet.
