We continue to analyze the matches of the long-awaited Valorant Champions 2022 world championship. Today we will move to group B, where in the second opening match representatives of the United States OpTic Gaming will face opponents from Indonesia BOOM Esports. Previously, the teams did not hold face-to-face meetings, and now they have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Form OpTic Gaming
Recall how the teams got to the World Cup. The team showed an excellent performance from the beginning of the season. After earning 2nd place in the first stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, the team went to the Masters Reykjavik, where they met almost no opposition, and ultimately emerged victorious.
The second stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 2 Challengers ended for the team again in 2nd place, but the next Masters Copenhagen was more difficult, the team barely reached 3rd place, where they finished the tournament.
Since the beginning of the season, OpTic Gaming have earned 1250 VCT points, and 1st place in the overall standings.

Unlike opponents, the situation for the representatives of Indonesia from the beginning of the season is not so rosy. Having earned 4th place at the first stage of VCT 2022: APAC Stage 1 Challengers, the team skipped Masters Reykjavik. The situation is even worse at the second stage of VCT 2022: APAC Stage 2 Challengers, where the team crashed from 7th-8th place, missing out on Masters Copenhagen.
The Last Chance Qualifier became the last opportunity for the team to qualify for the current World Championship, and the team took full advantage of it. Having passed through the upper bracket, BOOM players defeated ONIC Esports (3-1) in the grand final, thanks to which they got the opportunity to play at Valorant Champions 2022.

Match prediction
I think there is nothing to argue here, the top 1 of the North American region is head and shoulders above the opponents, especially in terms of tournament performance experience. Add to this the replacement in BOOM, and we get an easy victory for OpTic Gaming, I would venture to assume that the Americans will not give up a single card.
Outcome: OpTic Gaming win 2:0
