Cloud9 vs LOUD Preview and Predictions

[ad_1]

Week 2’s Cloud9 vs LOUD matchup is the first time these two squads face each other in Valorant’s history


On the Brazilian side, we have one of the best teams in the world right now! In contrast, the North American squad recently made significant roster changes. This is going to be one of the toughest opponents Cloud9 will face throughout the Regular Season, and beating them will further prove that the roster change decision reaped major benefits for Xeppaa and his squadmates.

Cloud9

We should have given Cloud9 enough credit on their last match against Evil Geniuses, where the new two members carried their own weights and showed that this new C9 is still a powerful North American roster. However, they need to bring even more heat against LOUD to stand a chance!

LOUD

Even though the Brazilians are coming from a win against MIBR, we hoped it would be a 2-0 sweep rather than a 2-1 scoreline. Nonetheless, aspas and his teammates are looking strong as ever, and unless Cloud9 brings up some revolutionary gameplay, LOUD should be confident of the win.
