Forecast Leviatan - XSET
VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen continues to please us with interesting matches. Today we will talk about the meeting between XSET and Leviatan in the first round of the lower bracket. Previously, the teams have not met each other, and now they have to determine the strongest on July 16 in the bo3 format.
Xset form
The team got to the tournament thanks to the victory at the past VCT 2022 NA Stage 2 qualifiers, where they showed a first-class game. The players ended the group stage with a score of 4-1, after which they went to the playoffs. In the final of the upper bracket, they failed to defeat OpTic Gaming (1-3), as a result of which they fell into a loser. The team was not going to give up, having easily defeated FaZe Clan (3-1), they again met with the offenders in the person of OpTic in the grand final and this time they managed to take revenge (3-1). As a result, a place in the playoffs of Masters Copenhagen bypassing the group stage.
Now the situation is not so favorable for them, the first match again against old rivals OpTic Gaming ended in defeat (0-2). Now the team will compete with future opponents for the right to stay in the tournament.

Form Leviatan
For representatives of Latin America, the situation as a whole is very similar to future opponents. The qualifiers in their region also passed through the lower bracket, where they hardly defeated FUSION (3-2), and then in the grand final they coped with KRU Esports (3-0) without any problems. The victory allowed the team to go directly to the Masters Copenhagen playoffs, skipping the group stage.
Perhaps the lack of practice was the reason for the defeat, since in the first match against the Korean tops from DRX, the Chilean team could not win the victory (1-2). At the moment, defeating future opponents is a paramount task for them, since further participation in the tournament depends on it.

Match prediction

Total +1.5 on Levitan.
