Shopify Rebellion Prediction - Cloud9
We return to the quarterfinals of the upper bracket of Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Last Chance Qualifier. Today we will talk about a pair of Cloud9 and Shopify Rebellion. Previously, the teams have not met each other, and today they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Shopify Rebellion Form
The situation of the team is different from all the other participants. The team was formed from former members of Luminosity Gaming on June 27, 2022, and did not participate in any tournaments in the new roster.
Under the banner of Luminosity, the players performed well at the VCT 2021 Stage 1 Master, taking 5th-6th place. In addition, the team has a victory at: Nerd Street Gamers - Winter Championship, and 3rd place at the NSG x Complexity Invitational.
At the time of the organization change, the team was in the top 8 in the overall ranking of North American teams.

As I wrote above, the entire roster played for Luminosity Gaming, but at the end of June of this year, it was bought out by a new organization.

Form Cloud9
The team performed well for those who did not pass the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, earning 3rd place. Unfortunately for the players, only the first two made it to the tournament in Reykjavik. At the second stage of VCT 2022 North America, the team took 9-10th place, which did not allow the players to qualify for the Copenhagen tournament. At the end of the season, the club takes 5th position in the overall ranking with 70 points.

After that, m1cks joined the club as an assistant coach, and after vexel, he moved from Cloud9 academy to the position of coach.

Match prediction
An interesting match should have turned out, both teams are familiar with each other, albeit under different flags. It is difficult to determine the winner, but I would venture to assume the victory of Shopify Rebellion, due to the fact that the players have completely moved under the new banners, and they will not have problems with cooperation.
Bottom line: Shopify Rebellion wins.
