Match info

Gen.G Esports and LOUD will meet in the first round (Round of 32) of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. These two will lock horns on Thursday, February 16, at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil. The time: 8 PM local time.

Meeting statistics

Since the Brazilians were able to maintain their championship backbone while Gen.G got together not-so-reputable players and had a poor start, perhaps this match lacks suspense. We’re kind of sure that whatever eSports bookmaker on the web you choose to bet on this match and see their odds) will give you the same impression.

LOUD will undoubtedly attempt to climb back to the top. Regarding their rivals, the team from the South Korean region, there are absolutely no signals that its players will emerge victoriously from the Brazilians’ home arena following its failure at Gwangju Esports Series: Asia. We’re sorry, but there’s no room for sensationalism here. LOUD is a pretty remarkable specimen with great potential.

The current form of Gen.G

At the end of October, the second-rated South Korean club assembled its lineup, but it most certainly didn’t sign any stars capable of propelling Gen.G to the top. Additionally, the Gen.G squad made its debut in the Gwangju Esports Series: Asia where they lost twice – against DRX and ZETA DIVISION – while playing quite poorly. We, therefore, have no reason to think that Gen.G would compete above the expectations in the upcoming event and shock everyone.

The latest results of Gen.G:

• Lost from DRX with a score of 1-2.
• Lost from ZETA DIVISION with a score of 0-2.

The current form of LOUD

The top-ranked Brazilian team from the previous season won VALORANT Champions 2022 and advanced to the VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters – Reykjavik finals. With the exception of their defeat in the Masters – Copenhagen, the Brazilian team was excellent overall. Since then, LOUD have been successful in selling a number of team leaders to the Sentinels. The Brazilians didn’t, however, lose too much strength to see an immediate decline in performance. LOUD will play on their own turf and surely claim the opening victory in the event.

The latest results of LOUD:

• Victory over ZETA DIVISION with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over Leviatán with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over DRX with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over OpTic Gaming with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over OpTic Gaming with a score of 3-1.

Match analytics

We’re not sure what the South Koreans will need to do to at least force a fight. It’s obvious that you can play on surprise on the new map, but the Brazilians are fundamentally two heads stronger, as evidenced by the most recent Gen.G matchups in which they had setbacks. As a result, in this scenario, we advise placing a wager on LOUD to win with a correct score of 2-0 with odds of 1.75 on Loot.bet.
