Predictions

LOUD and ZETA both have a solid roster. LOUD seems to have more firepower and can sometimes push through rounds that feel impossible to win. Using their strengths and knowing when to take a breather is a solid quality of LOUD.

ZETA DIVISION is no rookie, either. They can display explosive gameplay when required but prefer tactical advantage over enemies. They have also gathered a lot of experience throughout the VCT 2022 event.

LOUD could potentially win the match-up against ZETA DIVISION, considering their history. Unless ZETA has prepared its counter-measures against LOUD, ZETA might go home today.
