Team Liquid vs LOUD: Who will win this Valorant Champions 2023 matchup?

Prediction

Coming into this tournament, Team Liquid boasted one of the strongest rosters EMEA Valorant has ever seen, winning the VCT EMEA 2023 championship. But Jamppi and Co have failed to live up to expectations after a poor performance in the first match of Valorant Champions 2023 against NAVI.

None of the players from the current roster impressed during matches. Even though they had better strats, their lack of firepower and failure to excel in individual play resulted in a loss. This will be their second opportunity to prove critics wrong and make a significant impact on this tournament.

On the other hand, LOUD had sought another victory against DRX. Despite a good start on Lotus, they seemed pretty out of focus throughout the other maps and their coordination appeared somewhat sloppy.

Being winners in their previous Valorant Champions 2022, the defending champions will be seeking a win and reclaim their glory.

Heading into the elimination match, both sides will seek a victory to survive in the tournament. Even though it will be a close fight between the two powerhouses, Team Liquid have a slight edge and are favorites to win the matchup against LOUD.

Head-to-head

Team Liquid and LOUD haven’t crossed paths in any major tournaments. This will be the first time they will face each other with their current rosters.
