Good to see you on EGamersWorld. Today we're talking about the Brazilian League of Legends region, where we've prepared a betting tip for the LOUD vs paiN Gaming match in the grand final of the championship as part of CBLOL Split 1 2023.
We indirectly followed the teams' adventures in the elite Brazilian division, but we prepared thoroughly before the Grand Final: we watched the teams' play-offs and group stage matches and studied the impact of personnel changes on the teams' overall form. Having pieced all the data together we are now ready to tell you what to expect, who will be the CBLOL Split 1 2023 champion and who will represent Brazil in the MSI 2021.
Here we go.
Form LOUD - Brazil's first contender for MSI 2023
Let's begin our analysis of the LOUD - paiN Gaming grand final with an analysis of the playing form of the Brazilian title team LOUD. In this match, they face us as the favourites for the encounter.
LOUD's superiority and possible victory at CBLOL Split 1 2023 are hinted at by bookmakers. The odds of a LOUD win are estimated at odds in the region of 1.4.
Such a figure consists of various parameters, but the main ones are several. First and foremost is LOUD's performance over the course of CBLOL Split 1 2023, who were still vying for high positions during the regular season.
In the first round of CBLOL Split 1 2023, LOUD finished in 2nd place, trailing only their future rivals from paiN. However, the top 2 was nominal, as the team played the group stage with a score of 12-6, exactly like paiN and Los Grandes.
Going into the play-offs, LOUD won two series with a score of 3-1. In the first, they beat Los Grandes and then paiN Gaming, thereby unanimously leading the CBLOL Split 1 2023 team rankings.
The second factor speaking in LOUD's favour is their status. They are now the reigning regional champion as they won the CBLOL summer draw, as part of CBLOL Split 2 2022.
- The squad consists of Robo, Croc, TinOwns, Route, Ceos.
The team's roster is fairly stable, as for the Brazilian region. The most recent roster changes were in December last year when the South Korean legionnaire Route, who previously played for LCK resident SANDBOX Gaming, joined the team.
He and Croc are pairing up to be the main "percussionists" of the LOUD squad. Both performers were MVPs on the road against Los Grandes and paiN Gaming.
In terms of draft picks, LOUD use popular champions in the region. They don't have any out of the ordinary picks.
LOUD's most popular champions in the CBLOL Split 1 2023 play-offs
- Top line: Aatrox (3 matches, 100% wins), Renekton (2 matches, 100% wins).
- Jungle: Sejuani (4 matches, 100% wins).
- Centre Line: Taliyah (3 games, 100% wins), Lissandra (3 games, 66% wins).
- Shooters: Aphelios (4 games, 75% wins), Xayah (3 games, 66% wins).
- Support: Nautilus (4 games, 75% wins).

Want to give paiN Gaming a chance - read about their playing conditions. We take apart paiN Gaming's form for CBLOL Split 1 2023 below.
Form of paiN Gaming - LOUD's main rival for two seasons
LOUD's opponent on their way to the CBLOL Split 1 2023 Champions Cup and a trip to MSI 2023 will be paiN Gaming. Brazil's second team will play in this grand final as underdogs.
The odds of paiN winning this match are estimated at around 2.6. A figure like that in a Bo5 environment hints at a pretty tangible advantage on the LOUD side.
The figure is quite eloquent and confirms the reality. It corresponds to the performance of paiN and their status in the Brazilian region.
In the course of the tournament, paiN finished in the top 1, albeit nominally. The team finished the CBLOL Split 1 2023 regular stage with a similar LOUD score: 12-6, which gave them access to the top play-offs of the championship.
In the first round, paiN defeated Red Canids before advancing to LOUD. In that match, paiN fell to the bottom of the grid, where they beat the Red Canids with a battle.
- The composition of paiN Gaming: Wizer, Cariok, dyNquedo, Bvoy, Damage.
The team, again similar to LOUD, had replacements in December last year. Then the squad was joined by a duo-bot of players, South Korean legionnaire Bvoy and ProDelta, the latter, however, is on the bench.
Headlining the squad is centre-back dyNquedo and Korean Bvoy.
Most popular champions of paiN Gaming
- Top line: Jax (4 matches, 0% wins).
- Jungle: Wukong (6 matches, 66% wins), Vi (5 matches, 40% wins).
- Centre Line: Veigar (4 matches, 75% wins), Syndra (2 matches, 50% wins), Annie (2 matches, 50% wins).
- Shooter: Xayah (5 matches, 40% wins), Zeri (4 matches, 100% wins).
- Support: Rakan (7 matches, 57% wins).
You can see that paiN are playing the "Asian mettle", but the performance remains questionable. In that vein, though, it will be interesting to see a rematch with LOUD.
If you believe the outcome of the match will be different from what it was in the upper net final and the CBLOL Split 2 2022 grand final - bet on paiN to win at odds in the region of 2.4.

LOUD vs paiN Gaming history
The teams have played each other twice this season. First, paiN Gaming won by one in the group stage, but lost 1-3 in the second round of play-offs.
Predicted result of the LOUD vs paiN Gaming match
In this match, we are expecting a repeat of the CBLOL Split 1 2023 top net match between the teams represented. LOUD are feeling better this season and will be picking up another title.
The only thing causing The International heresy is the exact scoreline. I'm leaning towards the paiN card, but you can't rule out 3-0 like you did in the summer of 2022.
The outcome of the match: a 3-1 win for LOUD.
