Everything you need to know about the 100T vs Gen.G match at VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai

Prediction

100 Thieves have looked like the team to take down for a long time. Under the leadership of Kelden "Boostio" Pupello, the squad's star player, cryocells seems to have finally re-found his footing. The team's most inconsistent performer is still Asuna with his feast-or-famine showings.

Thankfully, the overall talent of the squad is so high that Asuna's relatively weaker performances have not had an adverse effect. However, him finding consistency is extremely important if 100T are to find success in the latter parts of VCT 2024 Masters Madrid.

Gen.G have looked like one of the most formidable forces at Masters Madrid so far. t3xture's abilities as a Duelist as well as the fantastic support from the rest of the cast have guided the squad to this level of success. If they can keep up this performance, they will prove to be the toughest opponents 100T have faced in a long while.

All things considered, today's 100T vs Gen.G match is more likely to go the way of Gen.G unless the North American squad can arrive with all guns flaring.

Head-to-head

While there have been several 100T vs Gen.G games in the past, those were between earlier iterations of the squads. The results of those series are irrelevant as far as today's game is concerned.
