LOUD vs 100 Thieves Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Americas League

The 6th week of VCT Americas will see the first-ever LOUD vs 100 Thieves matchup in Valorant
Even though these two squads have been part of several international LAN events such as LOCK//IN, Champions and Masters, they haven’t had a chance to fight against one another. This is going to be a seeding match for LOUD, while 100 Thieves have a lot more at stake. Here’s what we think will happen in the aspas vs Cryocells encounter.
LOUD
After the expected series win against KRÜ Esports, LOUD are coming into this match with a 6-0 record. However, even though we expected the Brazilians to win a clean 2-0 in their last game, they lost Pearl at the beginning of the Bo3. Considering their previous losses on that particular map, it’s clear that Saadhak needs to craft a better strategy for his team to win Pearl in future matches. Nonetheless, with aspas continuing to provide value consistently, LOUD will likely gather another victory against 100 Thieves.

100 Thieves
The 13-3 loss on Fracture to lose the series against NRG was unexpected from 100 Thieves. However, on the brighter side, Cryocells have been picking up the pace for the team in these last few series. Winning against LOUD will require an exceptional performance from Cryo and a repeat of what they did against Leviatán in Week 4.
