Community Takes & Predictions

Games at Champions are unpredictable and even the underdogs can stomp the champs. Day 1 is expected to have ups and downs and we are expecting the unthinkable in the two matchups.

Team Liquid is a powerhouse and one of the most successful teams in Valorant as of now. They are the favorites in their matchup but NaVi is not to be underestimated. Based on Twitter posts & comments the expected result of this one is to be 2:1 for either since, but TL is slightly favored over NaVI.

LOUD are the defending Champions in Los Angeles but have had some drama lately surrounding their players. The most recent one was about Aspas not renewing his contract and rumors about joining Sentinels & replacing TenZ. Whether this will or not affect LOUD we will see in a couple of hours. This matchup can be anyone's, and anything can happen.

Will NaVi prove the doubters wrong, and will LOUD manage to kick-start their title defense as they expected?
