LOUD vs EDward Gaming match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid: Which team will make playoffs and who will go home?

Prediction

One of the most important win conditions for the Brazilian team in the LOUD vs EDward Gaming match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid, will be Gabriel "Quick" Lima hitting his shots. He finished 28/32/4 and 46/48/4 against FPX and Gen.G, respectively.

Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira has also been key to LOUD's success in the past. These two players coming online early in today's match will put the 2021 Valorant Champions winners in the driving seat of today's game.

In a high-pressure match like this, the team with more consistent players always has the edge. In the case of EDG, while Zheng "ZmjjKK" Yongkang has been dishing out astounding numbers, but he would need as much support as possible to flip the board against LOUD.

In the LOUD vs EDward Gaming match at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid, the former definitely has the edge, but the series going the way of EDG wouldn't be much of an upset either.
