Cloud9 Kazanacak

Cloud9 and FURIA will meet in the fifth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season. Both teams have been good so far and are in contention for play-offs.

But it should be noted right away that the North American squad is playing above expectations, although FURIA certainly weren't seen as favourites to win the Long League title.

All in all, kudos to the Brazilians. But I think FURIA have slowed down a little bit. So here I would rely on Cloud9, a team that plays really strongly.

Cloud9's form

The second North American team failed in the recent VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they only managed one victory over Paper Rex, but then expectedly lost to DRX.

After such a performance, Cloud9 decided to forgo star vanity and yay to sign young players.

As such, the North American squad made a confident run to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, where they picked up victories over Evil Geniuses, 100 Thieves and NRG, as well as struggling Ledgeil LOUD.

Cloud9 latest results:

A 1-2 defeat to DRX.
A 2-0 win over Evil Geniuses.
1-2 defeat to LOUD.
Beat 100 Thieves 2-0.
2-1 win over NRG.

Cloud9's best scores:

Lotus - 100% wins.
Split - 100% wins.
Fracture - 67% wins.
Pearl - 67% wins.
Ascent - 60% wins.
Haven - 60% wins.

Let's not forget that the North American squad is not usually shown on the Split map.

FURIA shape

The third ranked Brazilian team similarly failed in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, Ledge and Fnatic in the second round.

The Brazilian side, however, played well in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League and quickly made it through to the knockout rounds.

FURIA, on the other hand, has been playing weaker and weaker with each match, nearly resulting in an unexpected loss to Evil Geniuses in the last round.

Recent FURIA results:

A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.
A 2-0 win over KRÜ Esports.
2-1 victory over Leviatán Esports.
0-2 defeat by LOUD.
2-1 win over Evil Geniuses.

FURIA's best scores:

Icebox - 67% wins.
Ascent - 75% wins.
Split - 50% wins.
Pearl - 50% wins.
Haven - 50% wins.

The Brazilian squad, in turn, have given up on Lotus.

Forecast of the match Cloud9 - FURIA

The main points were made above. Still, the Brazilian side hasn't been impressive so far. Yes, FURIA are still winning, but they're getting tougher with every match.

The North Americans, on the other hand, just keep pushing ahead. And here you stop wondering how quickly everyone is working together. So in this case I'd recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
