Sentinels vs LOUD - VCT Americas Kickoff: Predictions, where to watch, and more

Sentinels vs LOUD is the Grand Final matchup of VCT Americas Kickoff. The 11 teams have been through an intense series of matches, fighting to qualify for Masters Madrid. They went through the Group Stage, Play-Ins, and Playoffs for a chance to make it to the global stage. All regions will only get two spots at this first international event of 2024.

Day 9 of the event saw two qualifier matches. The first one between Evil Geniuses and LOUD saw both teams win on each other's map picks. But it was ultimately LOUD that won the Bo3 (best-of-three) series 2-1.

Meanwhile, after winning their own map picks, Sentinels destroyed NRG on the decider map to win the series 2-1. Both LOUD and Sentinels have now qualified for Masters Madrid.

Sentinels vs LOUD - Which team will win VCT Americas Kickoff?

Predictions

Sentinels have been the most impressive team from the region in 2024. With the new roster changes, Sentinels have shown proper structure and strategies throughout the event, qualifying for Madrid after being placed in the toughest group.

LOUD have seemingly retained their form from last year despite one key roster change. The team dominated for most of the event and experimented with their team compositions.

In the Sentinels vs LOUD match, the latter are slight favorites as their core has more experience and they have performed consistently. That said, this series should be a close one.
