Version1 and Cloud9 Blue will face off in the VCT 2021: North America Last Chance Qualifier. The history of these two teams is closely intertwined, because it was from Version1 to Cloud9 Blue that vanity, who is also the captain, moved recently. However, one should expect a hot fight from this match, because the teams are excellent in terms of personalities.
Version1 form
The 13th team of the North American rating in recent months did not play at all, because they failed the summer part of VCT 2021. And the team lost its main creator of success, because vanity fled just to Cloud9 Blue. Another thing is that Version1 did not sit still and quickly took Oderus. In any case, the composition is cool, albeit there are not enough stars from the sky when compared with the opponent.
Latest Version1 results:
- Victory over Luminosity with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to 100 Thieves with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat to Pioneers with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat from T1 with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against Gen.G with a score of 1: 2.
Best Version1 cards:
- Icebox - 77% wins.
- Haven - 72% wins.
- Split - 70% wins.
- Ascent - 63% wins.
At the same time, the team has two main difficulties at once - the Bind and Breeze cards.
Cloud9 Blue shape
The sixth North American ranked team finished third at VCT 2021: North America Stage 2 Challengers Finals. But that was in May, and after that the team went downhill. Although the guys won the last for themselves Nerd Street Gamers: Summer Championship, showing a good game against TIER-2 opponents. Although I have doubts that the stellar line-up of Cloud9 Blue will suddenly take and impose the fight on the favorites.
Recent Cloud9 Blue results:
- Victory over SoaR with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over OOKERS with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Immortals with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over NRG with a score of 3: 1.
Best Cloud9 Blue Cards:
- Breeze - 100% wins.
- Icebox - 72% wins.
- Haven - 71% wins.
- Ascent - 68% wins.
- Split - 63% wins.
- Bind - 50% wins.
In this case, the team can ban Bind without harm to themselves.
Version1 - Cloud9 Blue meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Cloud9 Blue wins Nerd Street Gamers: 2021 Monthly March 2-0.
- Version1 wins VCT 2021: North America Stage 2 Challengers 1 2-1.
- Version1 wins VCT 2021: North America Stage 2 Challengers Finals 2-1.
However, the last game was back in May.
Prediction for the match Version1 - Cloud9 Blue
I have no doubt that the victory in this game will go to Cloud9 Blue. However, Version1 is not a weak team to leave the server without a fight. In addition, we have not seen the guys in the updated lineup, which may be a little, but hinder the favorite. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
