Maç Tahmini: NRG - Cloud9 | VALORANT

NRG and Cloud9 will meet in the fourth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League group stage. Last year's champions are a bit "wimpy", while Cloud9 have been shooting well with their new line-up.

In general, NRG have completely drifted and lost all their charm. Moreover, the North Americans haven't played with anyone serious yet, but they are already at the bottom. On this background Cloud9 somehow looks, and it's unexpected to see such an upturn after loud substitutions.

So here I would lean on Cloud9 to win. It is clear that NRG can count on experience, but so far the boys are not impressive at all.

NRG's form

The fourth team in the North American rankings seemed to be doing reasonably well at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they managed to beat KOI and Giants Gaming and also lost in a close game to LOUD.

However, at the Long Camp of the regular season VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, the team had big problems that led to two defeats.

Fortunately, with a win over Sentinels, the North Americans still somehow managed to hold their own. But judging from the game, it's all very disappointing.

Latest NRG results:

• A 2-1 win over Giants Gaming.
• A 1-2 loss to LOUD.
• A 0-2 loss to Leviatán Esports.
• Beat Sentinels 2-0.
• A 1-2 defeat at the hands of MIBR.

NRG's best scores:

• Haven - 100% wins.
  
• Icebox - 75% wins.
• Pearl - 67% wins.
  

Don't forget that the NRG team is giving up maps Ascent.

Cloud9 uniforms

The second team in the North American rankings managed to reach the final of Red Bull Home Ground #3, but then crashed out of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo.

Cloud9 then went on to have a big rearrangement that left the squad without vanity and yay.

But who would have thought that with the youngsters, the North American squad could strike at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, beating Evil Geniuses and 100 Thieves.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Paper Rex.
• 1-2 loss to DRX.
• 2-0 win over Evil Geniuses.
• Defeat by LOUD, 1-2.
• 2-0 win over 100 Thieves.

Top scorers Cloud9:

• Lotus - 100% wins.
• Split - 100% wins.
• Haven - 75% wins.
• Fracture - 67% wins.
• Pearl - 60% wins.
• Ascent - 50% wins.

In turn, the Cloud9 team does not usually show up on the Split map.

Forecast for the match NRG - Cloud9

Unexpectedly see such a failure from NRG, who can't find themselves in the new set. In turn, the Cloud9s, in their turn, played together very well and showed a great game. And it is quite logical to expect a sensation, because the guys even with LOUD try to play number one. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
