Match Prediction: ACEND - Gambit Esports | VALORANT
VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers PlayoffsAcend and Gambit will compete for the right to qualify for the VCT 2021 Grand Final: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, where SuperMassive Blaze is already waiting for the winner. It is worth recalling that in the semifinals the teams have already met with each other, and then the victory went to the European team in a tense cockpit.
Form Acend
The first team in the European rankings had a great start in the championship, quickly reaching the final of the upper bracket. However, the European team had problems there due to the loss of concentration. After the first map, it looked like Acend would smear SuperMassive Blaze. But childhood mistakes began, which crossed out all the ambitions of the team. Now the Europeans have to rethink their game, since Gambit will not forgive the second time.
Recent Acend results:
- Victory over Guild Esports with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 3: 1.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
- Beat Gambit with a score of 2: 1.

Best Acend cards:
- Breeze - 100% wins.
- Icebox - 84% wins.
- Bind - 84% wins.
- Ascent - 82% wins.
- Haven - 69% wins.
The team's only weak point is the Split map.
Gambit Form
The second team in the European rankings performs excellently in the framework of VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. There was only one exception to the rule, but in that semi-final, Acend showed itself in all its glory. Now Gambit defeated Liquid and G2 for a chance for revenge. Another thing is that luck sooner or later ends, so I personally would not blindly believe in the victory of the team.
Recent Gambit results:
- Defeat from Gydom galva with a score of 4:13.
- Victory over Guild with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Acend with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
Best Gambit Cards:

- Icebox - 78% wins.
- Bind - 77% wins.
- Split - 76% wins.
- Breeze - 75% wins.
- Haven - 56% wins.
At the same time, one should hardly expect the team to appear on the Haven map.

Forecast for the match Acend - Gambit
The match will be held in BO5 format, but I don't think the difference will be significant. If Acend manages to cure its sores in a day, then clouds will gather over Gambit again. Well, if the Russian team again takes luck by the nose, then Acend may end badly. Nevertheless, the Europeans look a little more interesting and understandable, so here I propose to bet on the victory of the Acend team.
