Prediction

100 Thieves' performance in Week 2 of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1 looked impressive, with players like Boostio and Cryocells looking like they are coming back to form. One of the weakest links in the chain still appears to be Asuna, who once used to be the star fragger of the team.

His performance as a Duelist on most maps has been a feast or famine for a while now, which can cost the team games many times. This is especially considering he will be facing off against Oxy in today's game, who is in contention for one of the best entry fraggers in the present state of affairs.

Going into today's 100 Thieves vs Cloud9 match, consistent firepower will be of key importance if the former is to turn the matchup, which is clearly skewed towards the men in blue.

Head-to-head

Over the years, 100 Thieves and Cloud9 have faced each other eight times. However, only three of these have been with rosters close to the present lineups of each team. Of these, Cloud9 won two, and 100T won one.

Recent results
