After confirming their spots in Masters Tokyo, these two current best rosters will meet in the LOUD vs Evil Geniuses matchup
On one hand, we have the Brazilian greats at LOUD, who have been the most dominant Americas team throughout this event. EG, in contrast, and the writers of one of the most insane Cinderella stories in Valorant as they went from looking like one of the worst rosters to the most aggressive ones – thanks to Demon1 making waves for the North Americans. Even though the underdogs have faced a humiliating 0-13 defeat against Saadhak’s squad in the Regular Season, this is not going to be the same – and we have a wild prediction ready for you!
LOUD
Coming from an 8-1 run in the Regular Season, LOUD once again proved why they have the #1 seed by continuing to overpower in the Playoffs with a clean 2-0 victory. Their last win has granted the Brazilians their rightfully deserved spots in Masters Tokyo and Champions 2023, however, they are still planning to win out VCT Americas. aspas will have to counter Demon1’s aggression in this game with his own, otherwise, we may see another upset from the North American side.

Evil Geniuses
Nobody expected EG to be here – confirming their slots in two of the biggest Valorant tournaments and doing so in a convincing manner – especially after being considered one of the weakest North American teams in the split. Boostio and his teammates looked incredible in their last game against the favorite Cloud9, and the IGL himself top-fragged on Bind with a 1.80 VLR rating. It’s safe to say this dark horse is in its groove right now, and they have the ability to beat LOUD.
