LOUD vs FURIA - Which team will win this match at VCT Americas Stage 2?

Predictions

LOUD has seemed at its weakest in the latter half of the 2024 season. The team had a very underwhelming performance in Stage 1 and missed out on Masters Shanghai. Stage 2 is turning out slightly better as they have already managed to get one win so far.

On the other hand, FURIA has looked a lot worse than it did in 2023. This team did not win a single match in Stage 1 and Kickoff. However, Stage 2 saw them create an incredible upset as they defeated the Stage 1 winners, 100 Thieves in a dominating fashion.

This match of LOUD vs FURIA favors the former, as they have looked better in the entirety of the 2024 season. FURIA will need to come up with something special to even have a chance in this series.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other multiple times before. Each time, LOUD has been able to walk away with a 2-0 win.
