Match Prediction: Leviatán Esports - NRG | VALORANT
VCT 2023: Americas LeagueLeviatán Esports and NRG will meet in the first round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season. A very interesting game, as the Chileans can compete and do not appear to be clear-cut outsiders.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of experience on the NRG side, as you know the kind of team we are dealing with. What's more, the North Americans had enough time to correct their mistakes after LOCK//IN, where they already reached the quarterfinals.
So I'd look to the NRG team to win here, although I also don't rule out that Leviatán Esports could struggle for one card.
Leviatán Esports uniforms
The first team in the Latin American rankings back in the off-season was the winner of Valorant LATAM Gods and FITCHIN The Final Series, where they did not lose a single fight.
Leviatán Esports also recently participated in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they started with two victories over ZETA DIVISION and Team Vitality.
However, after playing NAVI in the quarterfinals, there were plenty of questions as the Chileans didn't even compete for victory there.

Form NRG
The third team in the North American rankings got off to a great start on the same VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo with two wins over KOI and Giants Gaming.

Forecast for the match Leviatán Esports - NRG
An interesting meeting because both teams have to fight for the top 3. However, the odds are slightly worse for Leviatán Esports, and not just on the odds.
After all, the North American side have a lot more experience at this level, and their results are a little more consistent, based on their rivals.
Therefore in this case I would recommend to bet on a win for the NRG team.
NRG no doubt has a strong & individual line up as well as experienced players but Leviatan will take a map out of NRG. Lev has a fast paced sharp attack and hoping to see 3 maps. However if decider map is Lotus we can see 2-1 Leviatan.
