We conclude the playoffs of Valorant Champions Tour 2022 North America Stage 2 with a match between XSET and OpTic Gaming. The teams had previously held two meetings between themselves, the winner of which was the second, the next meeting will be held as part of the grand final, bo5 format.

Form OpTic Gaming

The undisputed favorites of the tournament went through the group stage with a total score of 4-1, which allowed them to go to the upper bracket semi-finals, where they easily dealt with Evil Geniuses (2-0). The next meeting with future opponents of XSET awaited them, in the final of the upper bracket, which they successfully coped with (3-1), after which they took their well-deserved place in the grand final.

It is clearly seen why the club is considered the favorite of the tournament, because most of the matches were limited to two maps. The only defeat was from EG in the group stage, but the team successfully avenged it in the next match by throwing opponents into losers, from which they flew out of the tournament.

Xset form

The team's situation is very similar to future opponents. An excellent result in the 4-1 group allowed the team to go to the upper bracket semi-finals, where their opponent was 100 Thieves, unable to cope with the onslaught of the favorites, and losing (0-2). In the final of the viners, the club stumbled upon future rivals, from whom they flew off (1-3), as a result of which they flew to the lower bracket, where FaZe Clan were waiting for them, with which they successfully coped (3-1). Now XSET has the opportunity to rehabilitate for the defeat, but I'm not sure that they need it, because the club goes to the VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen anyway.

Match prediction

It is very interesting what the outcome of the match will be, on the one hand, XSET want to avenge the defeat, and on the other hand, both teams will definitely get to the tournament in Copenhagen, the difference is only in prize money. In any case, OpTic Gaming looks much more confident, and in general they show more stable results, so I will give my vote for them.

The result is the victory of OpTic Gaming.
