Cloud9 vs FURIA - Who will win matchup in VCT Americas League?
Predictions
Cloud9 has had a rollercoaster journey in 2023. The team saw major changes to the roster after VCT LOCK//IN, parting ways with players, yay and vanity. Since then, the new roster has bounced back and is now considered the best team from NA. They have won three out of their four matches so far.
FURIA is one of the biggest surprises in the Americas League. The Brazilian squad has destroyed almost every team they have faced. Out of their four matches, FURA have won three.
Predicting the winner of this matchup is difficult as both teams have put up great performances. Statistically, the match favors Cloud9, even if only slightly.
Head-to-head
Neither of these teams have faced the other before.
