NRG Esports and Knights will face Day 11 of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2022 NA Stage 1 Challengers 1 in the Group Stage.
Both Valorant teams are seeded into Group B in the tournaments, with the Knights standing fourth and NRG in sixth position on the group's scoreboard. The two teams will compete in a best-of-three series to climb the Group-B scoreboard. Only the top four teams from each group would get into the playoffs.
Later from the Playoffs, only the top two teams will qualify for the VCT Stage 1 Masters. Thus, there will be intense competition among the teams to remain at the top of the scoreboard.
NRG vs Knights: Who will win in Valorant Champions Tour Stage 1 NA Challengers 1 Group Stage?
Predictions
Considering both teams' recent performances, the Knights have a better chance of taking down NRG Esports. However, NRG could defeat the Knights in their past encounters against them. Thus, the match can be challenging for both teams as there will be head-to-head competition.
It will be difficult to determine before the match starts, but the Knights will be in better form than NRG. Thus, if played well with solid composition and strategy, the Knights can easily win the series.
Head-to-head
The two teams have encountered each other twice before, in the VCT North America Stage 1 Challengers and Nerd Street Gamers Winter Championship - Finals. Both times, NRG was successful in taking the Knights down.
Recent match results
NRG has not won in the last four matches played out of five. At the same time, the Knights have only won two out of their previous five games played. The Knights were able to take down Rise in their last match of the tournament.
