Total Over 2.5

OpTic Gaming and The Guard will compete for the right to advance to the grand final of VCT 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers. There is a lot at stake as the winner will receive a ticket to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Masters Stage 1 - Reykjavík. However, once again I cannot single out a favorite as the teams stand against each other.

Form OpTic Gaming

The fifth team of the North American rating had an ambiguous performance at the group stage of VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1. However, in the playoffs, the team managed to open up to its full potential, having obtained two difficult victories. Still, it's not worth talking about OpTic Gaming in terms of a clear favorite, since the team is clearly not at the peak of its capabilities yet.

I note that everything is sad for the team on Breeze and Fracture.

The Guard Uniform

The fourth team in the North American ranking performed well in the group stage of VCT 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, losing only to Cloud9. And in the playoffs, the team still looks very worthy, having not given up a single card. However, The Guard still seems like a "dark horse" as there isn't much experience or achievement behind the team.

Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.

Prediction for the match OpTic Gaming — The Guard

Another equal match in which each team can either win or lose. In such a situation, there is nothing more interesting than waiting for the third card, isn't it? Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more. After all, a trip to Iceland is at stake.
