OG LDN UTD vs Acend: Who will start its VCT Stage 2 EMEA Challengers campaign with a win?

Both OG LDN UTD and Acend are bunched in Group A of the EMEA Stage 2 Challengers. The two teams will face each other in a best-of-three series tonight to kickstart their campaign.

Prediction

Acend is surely the favorite to win the series tonight. However, the winner of the Valorant Champions 2021 struggled to perform in the first phase of the year. Acend failed to make it through to the Playoffs last time out, which came as a surprise to many.

However, the team is determined to deliver a solid performance this time around. With some highly talented individuals like Mehmet Yağız "cNed" İpek and Aleksander "zeek" Zygmunt in the team, Acend has a perfect shot at starting the season off with a comprehensive win.

Meanwhile, OG LDN UTD has the potential to beat any team on its best day. LDN UTD was the only team in the EMEA Stage 1 Challengers to hand a defeat to champion FunPlus Phoenix. Though the team failed to make it to the playoffs last time, their performance caught the eye of many.

Head-to-head

The two teams have faced each other only once in the past. Acend won the series on that occasion with a 2-0 scoreline. OG will surely try to change its fortunes tonight.
