Total Over 2.5

NRG and LOUD will face off in the Alpha Bracket Semi-Finals of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. I think this duel needs no introduction, as it is the reincarnation of the previous opposition between OpTic Gaming and LOUD.

It is clear that now the teams will appear in different compositions, but in essence the derby remains alive and extremely principled.

Thus, it is impossible to identify a favorite here, since last season the teams played equal matches. Therefore, here I would take a closer look at the three cards, because this meeting deserves more.

Form NRG

The third NA ranked team got off to a great start on the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo with a solid win over KOI.

And the day before, the North American team managed to bring Europe to its knees, throwing off Giants Gaming. Most importantly, NRG showed character by making a beautiful return to the series after failing at its peak.

Latest NRG results:

Victory over KOI with a score of 2:0.
Victory over Giants Gaming with a score of 2:1.

It is worth noting that the North American team is currently refusing the Ascent map.

Form LOUD

The first team in the Brazilian rankings played great last season, becoming the winner of VALORANT Champions 2022. However, LOUD did not manage to keep the entire top five, and the team did not show up in the off-season.

Nevertheless, at the start of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, the Brazilian team continued to win, having managed to knock out Gen.G Esports and Karmine Corp.

Latest LOUD results:
