Guild Esports vs Acend: Who could win the match in Valorant Champions Tour EMEA Stage 1 Challengers 1 Group Stage?
VCT 2022 EMEA Stage 1 Challengers 1 gets interesting with the top teams from all over the region fighting for the slots in the first Masters LAN tournament of the year.
Head-to-Head
Guild Esports and Acend have competed in the Valorant Champions Tour Europe Stage 3 Challengers 1's Main Event Upper Final. Back then, Acend was able to take Guild Esports down with a 0-2 score.
Both the teams haven't encountered each other again since then.
Thus, it will be interesting to see both of them battling again to qualify for the Playoffs and later make it to the VCT 2022 Stage 1 Masters.
Current Matchup details
Both rosters have won all their recent five matches played. Neither Guild Esports nor Acend have had a single loss in their last five matches and have had massive dominating performances over their opponents.
Predictions
Taking down the defending Valorant Champions won't be easy for Guild Esports. Acend is arguably the strongest team of all at present, whereas Guild Esports' performance last year wasn't very impactful. They are expected to dominate the entire match with their brilliant gameplay skills.
Their last encounter wasn't much in their favor, but this will be the new roster facing Acend. Thus, there are chances for Guild Esports to take Acend down if played strategically.
