Match Prediction: Version1 - NRG | VALORANT

Version1 and NRG will play in the group stage of VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1. It is clear that the favorite is waiting for another ordinary match, since NRG is not the right team. Therefore, in this case, it is easier to do with a brief assessment of the fight, limiting ourselves only to confidence in the strength of Version1.

Form Version1

The fifth team in the North American ranking has changed a lot with the arrival of Oderus, confidently qualifying for VCT 2022: North America Challengers 1. Here the team started right off the bat, having won two confident victories and quickly established itself among the leaders. But most importantly, Version1 will continue to play with direct competitors, so it is literally necessary to take three points now.

Prediction for the match Version1 — NRG
