KRU Esports vs Team Liquid: Which team will win the battle in the Valorant Champions 2021?

KRU Esports secured their slot in the Valorant Champions 2021 after being the top seed on the LATAM circuit points leaderboard. Whereas Team Liquid qualified for the competition after winning the Valorant Champions Tour EMEA Last Chance Qualifier.

These two sides will go up against each other to kickstart their campaign tomorrow. Fans are no doubt excited to enjoy the matchup on the biggest stage.

Prediction:

Judging by the firepower and recent statistics, Team Liquid are the clear favorites to win the match against their LATAM opposition. The EMEA side have some exciting talent and experienced players in their squad. Players like Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen, Travis "L1NK" Mendoza and most importantly, Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom in the squad, Team Liquid have a higher chance of winning the game.

However, KRU Esports also have some highly talented players who can single-handedly turn the tide. Players like Nicolas "Klaus" Ferrari, Angelo "keznit" Mori and Juan Pablo "NagZ" Lopez have the potential to spoil the party of any team in the competition. Their previous experience of LAN events at VCT Masters Reykjavik and VCT Masters Berlin will surely help them in this competition.
