Who will win between Cloud9 Blue and Knights at Valorant Champions Tour 2022 NA Stage 1 Challengers?
Prediction
Cloud9 Blue looks much stronger and in a better position than the Knights. Even though both the teams have great skills, Cloud9 Blue has more experience and strategic versatility.
Furthermore, they have won all their recent matches, whereas the Knights have won only two against NRG and Rise in the Group Stage. Cloud9 Blue is also the top seed from Group B, with zero losses. Thus, they can achieve an easy win against the Knights until they come up with any surprises.
Head-to-head
Both the teams have faced each other once in the past, in March 2021's Nerd Street Gamers March Monthly tournament, where Cloud9 Blue took down the Knights in a best-of-one series.
Recent results
Cloud9 Blue has won all five of their recently played matches, whereas the Knights have lost three out of last five.
