Sentinels and 100 Thieves will meet in the quarterfinals of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas Last Chance Qualifier, with the result that the losing team will leave the qualifying championship.
To be honest, there's no way Sentinels can be trusted, although the team did win the regular season title. And yet, 100 Thieves looks much more logical and stable in their structure.
Obviously, in the case of the Sentinels, you should never rule out lineup changes, but right now the team looks too unbalanced. Therefore, I'd lean on the 100 Thieves team to win here.
Sentinels uniforms
The twentieth team in the North American rankings fell at the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational, where they finished in third place, missing out on teams that aren't even in the mix.
What's more, the North American squad had nothing to remember at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. Although, to be fair, the boys had already caught Fnatic in the first round.
Likewise in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League Sentinels didn't do well and for a long time the team was at the very bottom, scoring some points in the end.
Recent Sentinels results:
- A 2-0 win over MIBR.
- A 0-2 loss to Cloud9.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Evil Geniuses.
- 2-0 win over KRÜ Esports.
- 2-1 win over FURIA.
Top scores for the Sentinels:
- Bind - 100% wins.
- Ascent - 67% wins.
- Pearl - 50% wins.
- Fracture - 50% wins.
At the same time, the Sentinels team is doing quite badly on the map Haven - zero wins in three games.
Form 100 Thieves
The sixth team in the North American rankings won Red Bull Home Ground #3 late last year, where they put up an impressive performance and created some application.
However, 100 Thieves didn't play their best in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, but at least they made it to the quarterfinals where they also beat Fnatic.
On the other hand, the North American squad sank in the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League where they scored only four wins to finish eighth.
Latest results from 100 Thieves:
- A 2-1 win over Leviatán Esports.
- 0-2 loss to NRG.
- A 0-2 defeat to LOUD.
- 2-1 victory over FURIA.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of MIBR.
Top 100 Thieves:
- Haven - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 67% wins.
- Split - 67% wins.
In turn, the 100 Thieves team made virtually no appearances on the Bind map.
Sentinels - 100 Thieves encounter statistics
The teams have met once this season - Sentinels won 2-1 in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League.
Sentinels vs 100 Thieves
I don't see any prospects for Sentinels. It's understandable that the team could train hard, but who even believes that? And in terms of their potential, 100 Thieves is much cooler and The International yereslier.
In general, here I'd rather play on subjective evaluation, because the team Sentinels did not mark anything this season, and looked too modest compared to many opponents.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on 100 Thieves to win.
