Trending

Who will win between NRG and Rise in the Valorant Champions Tour 2022 NA Stage 1 Challengers 1 Group Stage match?
Predictions
NRG and Rise will face each other for the third time. Considering the recent performances of both teams, Rise has a better success rate. Thus, this increases Rise's chances of winning the match against NRG.
However, in their most recent encounter, NRG gained a victory against Rise. If NRG comes back stronger in the tournament, they can still defeat them.
Head-to-head
Both Valorant teams have encountered each other twice in the past. In 2020, Rise was able to take down NRG for the first time in Knights Before Xmas. Later, recently in VCT 2022 NA Stage 1 Challengers 1 Open Qualifiers, NRG defeated Rise.
Recent Matches
NRG has not won a single match out of all the last five matches played. Whereas Rise won only two against OpTic Gaming and Built By Gamers in their previous five clashes.
