Matchförutsägelse: LOUD - ZETA DIVISION | VALORANT

Forecast LOUD - ZETA DIVISION

We continue to analyze the last matches of the group stage of Valorant Champions 2022. Today we are moving to group B, where the last meeting for a slot in the playoffs will take place. Representatives of Brazil LOUD will face the Japanese from ZETA DIVISION, earlier the teams had one meeting with each other a week ago, then the Brazilians won. Today they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.

Form LOUD

The team played its first match at the tournament just against future opponents from ZETA DIVISION, and being the favorite, it fully justified its title. At first, the teams moved to Ascent, and here LOUD fully justified their choice (13-8). The second map also went under the control of the Brazilian team, despite the fact that Fracture was the choice of ZETA DIVISION (13-9). The victory in the match showed that the Brazilians were not in vain the favorites of the meeting.

The second match was against the North American tops from OpTic Gaming, and it ended in the defeat of LOUD. The Brazilians fully confirmed their choice of Breeze on the first map (13-7). The second map was Fracture, and despite the equal fight, OpTic still closed it with a score of 13-10. The third and final skirmish took place at the Pearl, and ended in a complete rout for LOUD (3-13). It's safe to say that the loss on Pearl is a pure accident, the card was returned recently, and the teams did not have time to study it.

Form ZETA DIVISION

The team played its first match at the tournament against future rivals from LOUD, as I wrote above. Being outsiders, the Japanese naturally lost on two maps Ascent (8-13), Fracture (9-13). There is nothing special to paint here, the team is simply weaker than the top 1 in Brazil.

The second match was against BOOM Esports, and it was quite interesting. Having hardly given away the first map of Haven (11-13), the Japanese confirmed their choice on Pearl (13-11), and then destroyed their opponents on Fracture (13-2). An interesting point about the choice of maps, on Haven, the ZETA players feel quite well, but they did not receive a victory in an equal game. But the choice of the second map is extremely strange, the Japanese chose Pearl, which is still poorly known, and despite the risk they managed to snatch victory.
