Match Prediction: Team Vikings - Team Liquid | VALORANT

Vikings and Liquid will argue for the right to continue the fight at VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík. Despite the principled fight, there is no doubt that the European team will go further, which in the current realities is stronger than the Brazilians.

Vikings form

The first South American ranked team won the last VCT 2021: Brazil Stage 2 Challengers Finals, earning the top seed for the championship. However, at VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík, the Brazilians fell into the lower bracket early enough, losing to the Sentinels. Nevertheless, the team shows a very weak game, with which it is rather difficult to count on a positive result.

Recent Team Vikings results:

• Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Sharks with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Sharks with a score of 3: 1.
• Victory over X10 with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to the Sentinels with a score of 0: 2.

The best Team Vikings cards:

• Split - 88% wins.
• Bind - 71% wins.
• Icebox - 70% wins.
• Haven - 61% wins.
• Ascent - 61% wins.

I believe that the Brazilian team will be cleaning Ascent or Haven.

Liquid form

The first European ranked team had a terrible start in the championship, immediately losing to Version1. However, after that the team quickly dealt with KRÜ Esports, restoring confidence to their fans. And it seems to me that Liquid has all the chances to return to the game, since the difference between Europe and Brazil, even individually, is visible to the naked eye.

Recent Liquid results:

• Defeat FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Oxygen Esports with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Fnatic with a score of 3: 2.
• Lost to Version1 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over KRÜ Esports with a score of 2: 0.

Best Liquid cards:

• Ascent - 79% wins.
• Icebox - 75% wins.
• Haven - 71% wins.
• Split - 68% wins.
• Bind - 62% wins.

In this case, the team should give up Split - the opponent's best card.

Forecast for the match Vikings - Liquid

Personally, I see a big difference between representatives of two completely different regions. Vikings has already shown that it cannot oppose anything against the background of the North American team. In turn, the European team has an advantage not only in individual terms, but also in the variety of cards. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Liquid team with a score of 2: 0.
