M80 vs. MAD Lions: Who will win the upcoming Week 3 matchup in NA Valorant Challengers League Split 1?
Prediction
M80 has established its position in Group B with an undefeated streak through Weeks 1 and 2 of the competition. The team mostly runs a double-Initiator setup with a single Duelist and one Controller. Their picks vary between Sova, Breach, Fade, and Kay/O when it comes to the Initiator role.
The Canadian side used the double-Initiator team composition to defeat OREsports with a 2-1 scoreline in the first week of NA Valorant Challengers League Split 1. M80 went up against TSM in their second match, where they pulled off an incredible stunt with a triple-Initiator setup and defeated TSM, registering a clear 2-0 victory.
MAD Lions, on the flip side, have suffered two consecutive losses in both their previous matchups. The United States team fought TSM in their first match, where the latter won two to one and secured several points. Mad Lions then matched against Disguised, where they faced defeat, with the final scoreline reading 2-0.
This team also attempted to dominate the stage with a double-Initiator composition in almost all their matches. Unfortunately, their losing streak started on the second map against TSM.
In terms of who will win the upcoming match between M80 and Mad Lions, the stats seem to be in favor of M80.
Head to head
M80 and MAD Lions have never faced off against each other in an official Valorant matchup. Regardless, fans of both teams will be ecstatic to see their favorites take the stage and fight to see who comes out on top.
