The last day of the Superweek will feature an exciting Cloud9 vs FURIA matchup
This will be one of the more thrilling North America vs Brazil encounters of VCT Americas, as this is anyone’s game! FURIA are the favorites with their recent win streak, but Cloud9 are not a weak team either as they work towards the “Best in North America” title. Here’s what we are expecting from this matchup.
Cloud9
Cloud9 are the better North American team so far into the event, with all of their wins in this tournament being against other NA squads. Their last series versus NRG ended in a 2-1 scoreline, as the two new players continued to prove their worth along with leaf fragging out on Duelist. However, winning against FURIA will require more effort from the squad as C9 approach this game as the underdogs.

FURIA
The second-best Brazilian roster of this VCT is looking particularly scary as they are about to face another North American team. Similar to Cloud9, FURIA’s only loss was against LOUD, and they were the better team in the rest of their games. Even though FURIA will be going into this matchup as the favorites, it’s going to be hard to grab a win against the current best North American roster.
