Forecast LOUD - ZETA DIVISION
We return to Valorant Champions 2022. Today we are transferred to group B, where the first match will be held between the Japanese from ZETA DIVISION and opponents of Brazilian origin LOUD. Previously, the teams did not hold face-to-face meetings, and now they have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Form LOUD
Let's remember how the teams made it to the World Cup. The Brazilian team showed a mixed performance during the season, winning the first stage of the VCT 2022: Brazil Stage 1 Challengers qualifiers, the players went to Masters Reykjavik, finishing it with a silver medal.
The victory at the second stage of VCT 2022: Brazil Stage 2 Challengers brought a ticket to Master Copenhagen, unfortunately for the players, the team's stay was limited to the group stage and relegation to 11-12th place. Separately, I would like to note that the performance at both tournaments was interrupted by a meeting with OpTic Gaming.
Despite a poor performance at the second masters, the team has earned 650 VCT points since the beginning of the season and the first place in the overall standings, which allowed them to qualify for Valorant Champions 2022.

The situation is similar for the Japanese team. Having snatched victory at the first stage of VCT 2022: Japan Stage 1 Challengers Playoffs, the players went to Masters Reykjavik, where they took 3rd place.
At the second stage of VCT 2022: Japan Stage 2 Challengers Playoffs, in the final, the team could not cope with Northeption, as a result, they took 2nd place and missed Masters Copenhagen.

Before the start of the World Cup, the TENNN main player suspends his performance on the professional stage due to the complication of health (the player began to have serious vision problems). As a result, the organization borrows Xdll, a reserve member of SCARZ. In addition, the team is actively developing the media part, at the beginning of July 2022 the club signed 5 new streamers: abu, Renniki, Killin9Hit, MeLton and Suzuki Noriaki.

Match prediction
The favorites of the match are definitely the Brazilians, it is not for nothing that the new team occupies the top 1 rating in its region, despite the fact that it was created only six months ago. Add to this an unscheduled replacement from the representatives of Japan, and gets a 100% victory for LOUD
Outcome: LOUD victory
