XSET Prediction - OpTic Gaming
The last match of the upper bracket quarterfinals of the VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen will be held between two representatives of North America. OpTic Gaming will face XSET on July 15 in a bo3 format. The meeting promises to be very principled, because earlier the teams played three matches between themselves, as a result of which OpTic won two victories, while XSET won one.
Xset form
The team takes second place in the overall standings of its region, and fully justifies its position. At the past VCT 2022 North America Stage 2 qualifiers, the team won the victory with some difficulty. The players finished the group stage in first place with a total score of 4-1, after which they went to the playoffs. Further, an easy meeting against 100Thieves (2-0) led them to the final of the upper bracket, where future opponents in the person of OpTic sent the team to the loser (1-3). The final of the lower bracket and the grand final allowed XSET players to fully rehabilitate themselves: the victory over FaZe Clan (3-1), and after the victory over the same OpTic Gaming (3-1).
As a result of the first place, the team went straight to the playoffs at Masters Copenhagen, bypassing the group stage.
Composition XSET
- AYRIN
- Bsj
- dephh
- zekken
- cryocells
The only change in the roster happened at the beginning of January this year. Former SoaR member Cryocells replaced the departed PureR, whose new club was Gen.G Esports. The newcomer fit perfectly into the team, at the last qualifications it was he who, on his main Chamber, became the best player of the match more often than others.

Form OpTic Gaming
The next representative of North America also performed well at the past VCT 2022 NA Stage 2. A similar 4-1 score during the group matches allowed the players to qualify for the playoffs, where they easily coped with Evil Geniuses (2-0). The last two meetings took place against future opponents from XSET: victory in the final of the upper bracket (3-1), and after the defeat in the grand final (1-3) secured the second place for the team and a slot at Masters Copenhagen.
Thanks to one defeat against Guild Esports (0-2), and two victories over LOUD (2-1) and KRU Esports (2-0), the team earned the right to meet with old rivals.

As I wrote earlier, the roster was formed at the beginning of February 2022, and consists entirely of former members of Team Envy. Since its inception, the team has not made any changes among the players, the only addition was in the person of Jovi, the former coach of 100Thieves, who joined the team as an analyst.

An interesting confrontation between the two favorites of North America. Although OpTic lost to their opponents in the finals of the past qualifiers, this time they seem to me more likely winners.
The result is the victory of OpTic Gaming.
