March 10 marks the final day of NA VCL's fourth week. The first match of that day will be between Moist Moguls and Shopify Rebellion. It is a must-win game for both teams if they want to improve their chances of making it into the Playoffs. Here's everything you need to know about the matchup.
Moist Moguls vs. Shopify Rebellion: Who will win this Week 4 Group A match of 2023 NA Valorant Challengers League
Predictions
Moist Moguls, known previously as BreakThru, made it to the main event of NA Valorant Challengers League 2023 through an undefeated Open Qualifiers run. However, they have been unable to get a victory since their first match in the main event. That said, players like thief and aproto bring a lot of experience to this side, and their IGL flyuh is one of the most underrated Initiator mains in Valorant's esports scene.
Shopify Rebellion definitely has the experience aspect going for them. They have been playing together and competing in Valorant esports for a very long time, going back to their Luminosity Gaming days. dazzLe has been known to be an excellent caller for the team, and mada can be a force to reckon with when he's in form.
The competition in Group A of the NA VCL 2023 is nearing, and both teams need this to win their match badly. Having recently been signed by Moist Esports, Moist Moguls have a lot of pressure to prove their mettle, and that might be what gives them the edge in this matchup, leading to a much-deserved victory.
