Forecast LOUD - Los Grandes
We are reviewing a new series of matches within the upper bracket semi-finals of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022 Brazil Stage 2 playoffs. The meeting between Los Grandes and LOUD will take place on June 22 in the bo3 format. Previously, the clubs met each other once, with which LOUD came out the winner.
Shape Los Grandes
During the group stage, the team proved to be a strong mid-ranger. Not particularly moving forward, the players successfully won two out of four matches, thanks to which they secured the third line in the rating, which allowed them to go further. The first meeting in the playoff stage took place against MIBR, although with difficulty, the team managed to choose a victory with a score of 2-1.
Line-up of Los Grandes
- CTC
- pleets
- gustt1nha
- RND
- prince
In the last review, I wrote about changes in the composition, and now I stick to my opinion. Players lack the experience of playing together, which will most likely lead to defeat in the next match, and given that their opponent is the favorite of the tournament, the chance of losing increases many times over.
Result of the last 5 matches
- Victory over Stars Horizon 2-0
- Defeated Gamelanders Blue 2-1
- Defeated MIBR 2-1
- Lost by LOUD 0-2
- Lost to FURIA Esports 0-2

Form LOUD
The team showed an excellent game during the group stage, out of four matches played, they did not earn a single defeat, which allowed them to go straight to the semi-finals of the upper bracket from the first place in the ranking.
No less impressive statistics for the year, the club has 22 games played with an overall win rate of 95%. The list of achievements includes the victory at VCT 2022 Brazil Stage 1 Challengers, where in the final they were able to beat NIP (3-0), as well as the second place at VCT 2022 Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik in the final of which the team lost to OpTic Gaming (0-3).
Composition LOUD
- aspas
- Less
- pANcada
- Saadhak
- Sacy
The roster was formed at the beginning of February 2022, and included members of many different clubs: Team Vikings, Tropinha do TIKTOK, Stars Horizon. But even though all the members had no previous experience of playing together, we can safely say that they played perfectly, given their results for the year and at this tournament.
Result of the last 5 matches
- Victory over FURIA Esports 2-0
- Victory over Los Grandes 2-0
- Victory over Stars Horizon 2-0
- Defeated Gamelanders Blue 2-0
- Lost to OpTic Gaming 0-3
A superb string of victories took the line-up to the semi-finals and made them the group favourites. Considering that all matches were won without much difficulty, we can safely say that LOUD are now the main contenders for victory in the tournament. Most likely, a team of such a level as Los Grandes will not be able to stop them, especially since the first meeting was a complete failure for them.

Match prediction
What can be said about the winner, most likely it is LOUD. Given the statistics, it is clear that they are a level higher than all the other teams in the tournament, in turn, Los Grandes show very mediocre results.
The result is a victory for LOUD.
