Predictions
100 Thieves are looking strong coming into the VCT Americas league in 2023. Recent matches between the lineup and teams like FUT Esports and EDward Gaming have seen the roster perform quite well. They have only suffered one loss in their most recent games, to FNATIC at the VCT LOCK/IN So Paulo, Brazil. They had a seven-game winning run before it since Red Bull Home Ground #3.
On the other hand, Sentinels tend to play rather rough. They debuted in 2023 at the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational. After their debut victory against TSM, the roster struggled to establish themselves in the competition as they dropped their next two games.
Judging from their recent and past performances, it can be said that 100 Thieves have a solid chance of winning their opening game against the Sentinels.
Head-to-head
The current roster has no past encounters at the moment. The teams will face off against one another in the forthcoming game for the first time in 2023 with fresh lineups. Even though both teams' key members are the same, their current collaboration is considerably more recent than their previous one.
The organizations have gone against each other around ten times in the past, where Sentinels were victorious seven times, according to vlr.gg.
Recent results
Sentinels' recent results have been shaky as the NA roster lost their first game against FNATIC at the VCT LOCK//IN and had to fly home due to the single elimination method of the tournament. BeforeBefore Brazil, they also had a tough run at the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational.
The 100 Thieves, on the other hand, are looking strong with their roster. Their run at the recent LOCK//IN event has been impressive, with only a single loss against FNATIC. Before it, they also faced teams like Cloud9 and Team Vitality and prevailed. According to their recent wins, they will undoubtedly have a significant edge in their initial game in the VCT Americas League.
