Prediction for the Leviatán Esports vs. LOUD match. VCT Americas League 2023 Playoffs 20.05.2023

“LOUD” and “Leviatán Esports” will meet in the final round of the regular season of the “VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League.” There is a lot of intrigue in this game to discuss.

If “Leviatán Esports” wins, they still have a chance to make it to the playoffs, but even in that case, they might remain on the edge.

On the other hand, “LOUD” has already secured a spot in the semi-finals, although they recently suffered a defeat against “NRG.” However, they are clearly stronger, so I believe “LOUD” will come out as winners of this game.

“Leviatán Esports” Form: At the beginning of the regular season of the “VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League,” this team from Latin America showed excellent results, winning three out of four matches. However, after that, “Leviatán Esports” started to lose ground and suffered defeats to their direct competitors. They lost to “Evil Geniuses” and “100 Thieves,” and their results deteriorated significantly. Even a victory in this game does not guarantee them a place in the playoffs.

Recent results of “Leviatán Esports”:

Victory over “MIBR” with a score of 2:0.
Defeat to “100 Thieves” with a score of 1:2.

It’s worth noting that “Leviatán Esports” usually does not play on the “Fracture” map.

“LOUD” Form: In the previous season, this Brazilian team finished second in the “VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo,” losing to “Fnatic” in the finals. However, in the group stage of the “VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League,” “LOUD” showed excellent results, winning all seven matches and resolving their issues very quickly. In their last game, they lost to “NRG,” which complicated their position, but in terms of gameplay, they are far superior to their opponents, including “Leviatán Esports.”

Recent results of “LOUD”:

Victory over “Sentinels” with a score of 2:1.
Victory over “Evil Geniuses” with a score of 2:1.

In turn, the Brazilian team usually does not play on the “Bind” and “Fracture” maps.

Statistics of the match between “Leviatán Esports” and “LOUD”: In the previous season, the teams met once in the “VALORANT Champions 2022,” and the victory went to “LOUD” with a score of 2:0.

Prediction for the “Leviatán Esports” – “LOUD” match: I don’t think “Leviatán Esports” will be able to surprise and win, as even a victory does not guarantee them anything, and everything will depend on the results of other matches. At the same time, “LOUD” should bounce back after a recent loss, as they risk losing the second spot. Having an advantage in the game, I would recommend betting on the victory of the “LOUD” team.
