Forecast Northeption - XERXIA
We return to the main summer event for all fans of the discipline. As part of the VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen, there will be a meeting between Northeption and XERXIA. Both teams have earned one defeat at the moment, and this match will decide their future fate in the tournament. Format, as before bo3.
Northeption Form
The team performed well at the past VCT 2022 Japan Stage 2 qualifiers. In the group stage, they shared first place with ZETA DIVISION, as a result of which they advanced to the playoffs. A series of difficult victories led the team to the grand final, where they faced the same ZETA DIVISION, and after four intense maps, they were able to earn a slot at Masters Copenhagen (3-1).
In the first tournament match, they were expected by representatives of Korea DRX, with whom the Northeption players could not cope (0-2).
Composition of Northeption
- meteor
- Derialy
- xnfri
- blackwiz
- JoXJo
The latest changes to the roster have taken place ahead of the qualifiers. Instead of the departed Xandrite, the team was replenished with a former member of FENNEL - Derialy. However, at the last VCT 2022 Japan Stage 2, the newcomer showed very controversial results on his favorite Kiljoy, rarely finishing matches with a positive KD.

Form XERXIA
Passed qualifications in the Asia-Pacific region ended for the team in second place. The players passed the group stage with ease with a total score of 2-0, but the situation in the playoffs was more difficult. As a result of the first defeat against Team Secret (1-2), the team went to the lower bracket, where they had an incredible series of victories from four matches, which allowed them to reach the grand final. Although the last meeting against Paper Rex was not very successful (0-3), the silver medalists managed to get to Masters Copenhagen.
The first match against representatives of Europe FunPlus Phoenix ended in defeat (1-2).
Composition XERXIA
- foxz
- sushiboys
- scary
- crws
- Surf
As I noted earlier, almost all of the members have supported X10 in the past, so they have no problem communicating. Special mention deserves Surf, who is quite new to the professional scene, starting his career a few months ago. Even despite the lack of experience, at the past VCT 2022 APAC Stage 2 qualifiers, he often took the first lines in the post-match standings, preferring Jett and Chamber to the rest of the characters.

Match prediction
Both teams started the tournament with a loss, but in terms of rounds, the situation is much better for XERXIA, for the last match 35-36. In turn, Northeption won only 9 and lost 26 at all, so I see the first ones as the winners of this pair.
The result is the victory of XERXIA.
