Match Prediction: 100 Thieves - XSET | VALORANT

100 Thieves and XSET will face off in the group stage of VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1. It's no lie to say that this game is decisive for 100 Thieves. However, at the same time, I do not believe that the team has enough potential to defeat XSET.

Form 100 Thieves

The sixth team in the North American ranking literally fails at VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1, taking fifth place. To reach the playoffs, the team needs to get two wins, but I believe in this scenario with great difficulty. At the same time, we should not forget that right during the tournament 100 Thieves changed their line-up, which, as practice shows, did not help.

At the same time, everything is sad for the team with the Split card.

Xset form

The fourth team in the North American rankings got off to a very successful start to the new season, winning not only the qualifiers for VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1, but also the NSG: Winter Championship. However, in the group stage, he performs not in the best way, having only one victory to his credit. Nevertheless, XSET looks more confident in principle, which clearly gives the team an advantage over the opponent.

Prediction for the match 100 Thieves — XSET

Personally, I'm not sure about the prospects of 100 Thieves, which has lost its lineup and noticeably weakened. At the same time, the opponent looks much more stable, even though he plays with varying degrees of success. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the XSET team.
