Match Prediction: NRG - FURIA Esports | VALORANT
VCT 2023: Americas LeagueNRG and FURIA will play in the sixth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League group stage, where they will largely decide the fate of one of the championship's play-offs.
Admittedly, the North American squad have started to accelerate and find their game in the current set-up. But don't you think that NRG started to wake up too late.
On the other hand, the Brazilian squad does not jump over themselves but they show an attractive game. So I'd go with the card from the FURIA team here.
Form NRG
The fourth team in the North American rankings had a good game at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, but they faced LOUD in the quarterfinals and were legitimately eliminated.
However, at the Long Camp of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season, the North American side ran into more and more problems, resulting in several defeats.
Fortunately the NRG woke up from there and even posted two victories in the closing rounds. Still, it's hard to perceive a team that at times buries itself.
NRG's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over Sentinels.
- 1-2 defeat to MIBR.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.
- 2-0 win over KRÜ Esports.
- 2-0 win over 100 Thieves.
NRG's best scores:
- Haven - 100% wins.
- Icebox - 75% wins.
- Pearl - 50% wins.
- Fracture - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that the North American squad has stopped appearing on the Split map.
FURIA shape
The third team in the Brazilian rankings seems to have been cool in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season, where they scored some important wins right from the Long Song.
On the other hand, FURIA also managed to suffer defeats at the hands of LOUD and Cloud9, showing that the team is not going to jump over its head, not even struggling.
However, in the last round, the Brazilian team distinguished themselves with another victory over MIBR, which significantly increased their chances of break into the play-offs. But now the boys need to consolidate and not fall in the close games.
The latest results from FURIA:
- A 2-1 win over Leviatán Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to LOUD.
- 2-1 win over Evil Geniuses.
- 0-2 defeat of Cloud9.
- 2-0 win over MIBR.
FURIA top scorers:
- Icebox - 67% wins.
- Split - 67% wins.
- Pearl - 67% wins.
- Ascent - 60% wins.
- Haven - 50% wins.
In turn, the Brazilian team has most often given up on Lotus.

Forecast of the match NRG - FURIA
An interesting game, where three maps are called for. However, the main point is how quickly NRG will be able to wake up and get into the game. For the Brazilians, personally, I have no questions, as they will run around again and try to steal the initiative. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Forum on the cards (+1.5) for the FURIA team.
