100T has looked lackluster and severely inconsistent in Valorant Americas. However, this will be their biggest bout yet as they face off against the kings of the tournament, LOUD. LOUD is undefeated in this tournament so far and there seems to be no one stopping them. EG came really close to defeating them but still lost. LOUD seems to be reinventing the meta and making it their own. They have played Gekko and succeeded with it while other teams still struggle to use his utility. Let us break down how these teams fare against each other.
Can 100T beat LOUD, the Kings of Valorant Americas?
LOUD’s recent match was against KRU and in traditional LOUD fashion, they emerged victorious after dropping a map. However, 100T on the other hand recently lost 0-2 to NRG who seem to be picking up their pieces as the tournament heads into playoffs. In terms of the points table, LOUD are at the top with no losses while 100T are barely qualifying (currently) in the sixth place. Let us look at both rosters and compare their forms.
LOUD
- Saadhak
- Less
- cauanzin
- tuyz
- Aspas
100T
- Stellar
- Bang
- Asuna
- Derrek
- Cryocells
Everyone expects 100T vs NRG to be a nail-biter of a match. While Derrek, Cryo, and Asuna had clutched the first map, they could not catch the wind in time to defeat NRG. Even their match against Leviatan wasn’t comfortable as they had to rely on Bang clutching a 1v3 to win. 100T fundamentally are a good team, their map control and team comps do not manage to counter the opposition, however.
LOUD on the other hand remind us of OpTic. Learning tactics of the team and then dominating them on the next map. They are unstoppable and look to further cement their legacy as the best Valorant Americas team this season. We predict LOUD winning this match-up 2-1. However, there is a very close chance that 100T can pull together and give LOUD a hard time. Plus, 100T have never faced LOUD and vice versa, so all they can do is plan and VOD review for their match.
