Sentinels vs Cloud9 - Which team will win this match in VCT Americas Stage 2?
Predictions
Sentinels has looked exceptional in the 2024 season. By winning the Kickoff event and Masters Madrid, they have solidified themselves as a major threat to the rest of the world. However, the team couldn't continue that level of performance in Stage 1 and hence missed out on Masters Shanghai. Stage 2 has witnessed them return to peak form as they already won their first two matches in a dominant fashion.
Cloud9 has had a tricky journey so far in 2024. After making some sudden changes to their roster, the team delivered positive results during Stage 1. Even though they missed both international events, they are still the dark horse in the Americas and could surprise viewers in Stage 2.
This Sentinels vs Cloud9 match heavily favors the former as they have had a much better performance throughout the 2024 season. Cloud9 will have to give it their all to win this one and their Duelist player, OXY, being in top form will be a major win condition.
Head-to-head
These teams have faced off against each other multiple times before. The most recent encounter was during VCT Americas League's Last Chance Qualifiers in 2023 where Cloud9 won the series by a 2-1 scoreline.
Recent results
Sentinels' most recent match was against KRÜ Esports in VCT Americas Stage 2 where they won the Bo3 series by 2-0.
