Predictions

Team Heretics has been a huge surprise in VCT Masters Shanghai. This is mainly because they have had to play with a stand-in at the event which has led to some minor changes in their roles. Despite these problems, Team Heretics has delivered some extraordinary performances. Reaching the top four is a huge accomplishment for this roster filled with new players.

100 Thieves became the tournament favorites when they destroyed every opponent in Stage 1. This team has been able to carry that momentum in VCT Masters Shanghai. Despite their one-sided loss against Gen.G, 100 Thieves were able to pick themselves back up and eliminate another tournament favorite, Paper Rex from the event. Every player on this roster looks confident and could lead their team to lift their first Masters trophy.

This matchup of Team Heretics vs 100 Thieves favors the latter, as they have shown better performances at this event. However, Team Heretics will not be an easy opponent to take down and can make things very difficult for 100 Thieves.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other only once. This was during Red Bull Home Ground #3 in December 2022 where 100 Thieves won the Bo3 series by 2-1.
