The main summer event for all fans of the discipline - VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen has just begun, and has already brought us many interesting matches. Today we will talk about the meeting between KRU Esports, who took second place in the LATAM region, and bronze medalists in the EMEA region - Guild Esports. Previously, the teams have not met each other, this time they will have to determine the strongest on July 11 in the bo3 format.

In the past, I spoke in detail about the team, so today we will just refresh our memory. The top 1 of the Latin American overall standings advanced to the Masters Copenhagen with little difficulty. At the qualifiers in their region, they showed stable results, which allowed the players to get into the playoffs, where they were already expected by Levitan, who easily took the coveted slot from KRU (0-3). Luckily for the team, they got another chance as their second-place finish qualified them for the VCT 2022 South America qualifiers, where they were able to beat NIP (3-0). As a result, the players ended up in a tournament where the first match against LOUD ended in a 2-1 victory.
KRU Esports roster
- Klaus
- Mazino
- NagZ
- delz1k
- keznit
- wait (replacement)
The last rotation took place in the person of wait, who came from DKS Esports and is now playing as a replacement. Thanks to this, the team now has six full-fledged players, which prevents any incidental situations. Separately, I would like to note keznit, who at the past qualifications with his performance on Neon, stood out more than the other members of the line-up.

The team barely made it to the tournament. After successful matches in the VCT 2022 EMEA Stage 2 group stage, they went to the playoffs, where, as a result of the meeting with Fnatic (0-2), they went down to the lower bracket. The next match against FunPlus Phoenix also ended in defeat (0-3). Due to the fact that three tickets to the tournament in Copenhagen were up for grabs in the region, the players still managed to participate in it, having got here from the third place, and in the first match they beat North American favorites OpTic Gaming (2-0).
Guild Esports roster
- Leo
- Sayf
- koldamenta
- Russ
- trexx
The last changes in the roster took place at the end of November 2021, as a result of which the organization terminated contracts with draken, Yacine, bonkar. At the beginning of 2022, the team was replenished with three newcomers: Russ, trexx and koldamenta, who previously played for TENSTAR and G2. Separately, I would like to note trexx, who showed an excellent game in the past qualifiers, often performing better than the old guys on the team.

Outcome: victory for KRU Esports.
