Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Cloud9 | VALORANT

Liquid and Cloud9 Blue will play in the ¼ final of VALORANT Champions 2021. It seems that the history of the North American teams in this tournament is coming to an end, as Liquid is not in the right condition to lose and be eliminated at such an early stage.

Liquid form

The first European ranked team played excellently in the group stage of VALORANT Champions 2021 with two convincing victories. Yes, against the Sentinels, the team got an olive, taking only two rounds on the Bind map. But this is also why it is an inconvenient map for Liquid, which makes it so painful to receive. In any case, the Europeans are still the main favorites for the championship, which cannot be said about the opponent.

Recent Team Liquid results:

• Victory over Fnatic with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over TENSTAR with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Acend with a score of 3: 1.
• Victory over KRÜ Esports with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over the Sentinels with a score of 2: 1.

Best Team Liquid cards:

• Fracture - 100% wins.
• Breeze - 92% win rate.
• Ascent - 74% wins.
• Haven - 72% wins.
• Icebox - 69% wins.
• Split - 69% wins.
• Bind - 58% wins.

I think that the team will again be wary of the Bind card.

Cloud9 Blue shape

The second North American ranked team failed at the start of VALORANT Champions 2021, losing to Fnatic. However, the team still made it to the playoffs, beating Vision Strikers in the decisive match. At the same time, personally, I would not say that the game Cloud9 Blue is sympathetic. After all, every match is some kind of nerves and sweat. Therefore, it seems to me that the team will leave the championship very soon, because there is nothing to do with such a game.

Recent Cloud9 Blue results:

• Victory over 100 Thieves with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Rise with a score of 3: 0.
• Defeat against Fnatic with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over FULL SENSE with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Vision Strikers with a score of 2: 1.

Best Cloud9 Blue Cards:

• Breeze - 91% win rate.
• Haven - 71% wins.
• Ascent - 70% wins.
• Icebox - 69% wins.
• Split - 63% wins.
• Bind - 52% wins.

At the same time, the team has only one defeat at Fracture.

Forecast for the match Liquid - Cloud9 Blue

I see no reason to believe in the Cloud9 Blue game. The North Americans already played rather shakyly in the group, so here also one of the favorites was caught in the quarterfinals. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Liquid team.
