100 Thieves vs LOUD - VCT Americas 2024 Stage 2: Prediction, where to watch, and more

100 Thieves vs LOUD is a Group Stage match in VCT Americas Stage 2. Currently sitting in third place with 11 championship points, victory here is crucial for 100 Thieves on their route to Valorant Champions 2024. However, it is a closed chapter for LOUD sitting in ninth place with only three championship points. Although a positive outcome would be great for their morale, it won't help them secure a spot for the Playoffs.

Each region will have four representatives for Valorant Champions 2024. So far, Pacific is the only region that has determined all its representatives. The other teams that have made their way to Champions are EMEA's Fnatic and China's EDward Gaming.

100 Thieves vs LOUD - Which team will win this match in VCT Americas Stage 2?

Predictions

100 Thieves has improved significantly since their performance in Kickoff. They were able to dominate Stage 1 and take away the first regional trophy of the year while also finishing in fourth place at VCT Masters Shanghai. Stage 2 has looked a bit shaky from them, but they have been able to stabilize after the recent matches.

VCT 2024 has perhaps been one of the weakest showing from LOUD. After a strong start at Kickoff and Masters Madrid, they weren't able to get many match wins under their belt. In Stage 1, the team just barely made it to the Playoffs and in Stage 2 they were eliminated in the Group Stage itself. LOUD's weak performance in Stage 2 can be attributed to the absence of a strong Duelist player in their roster.

This match of 100 Thieves vs LOUD heavily favors the former as they have performed better in recent matches.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other multiple times before. The most recent was during VCT Americas 2024 Stage 1 where 100 Thieves won the Bo3 series by 2-1.
