VCT 2023 Lock//In São Paulo Semi-Finals Predictions

LOUD vs DRX

Kicking things off, we have an electric match which looks to bring the noise. Moreover, every single game that LOUD has played, the entire crowd has been on their side as the hometown heroes. With the crowd on their side, LOUD have made quick word of many teams, such as favourites NRG, with shining confidence.

On the other side, we have the strategic masterminds of DRX. Taking out the likes of Cloud9 and Talon Esports, DRX are yet to win a series cleanly. Evidently, they have more weaknesses than LOUD, predisposing them to a loss here.

While LOUD are the clear favourite, we’re certain that DRX will play their cards right with the map picks, squeezing in at least one map victory and keeping things close.

Fnatic vs Natus Vincere

Following the opening match, we have the EMEA heavyweight battle. Indeed, this looks to be one of the closest matches of the entire event. With both teams celebrating the tactical and deadly European approach, both have been flawless at this event so far.

Having not lost a single map, both teams have taken down some serious competition, making it look easy, such as Na’Vi taking down Leviatan with incredible dominance. However, even though Fnatic has not lost a match, their games have been much more closely contested, such as their overtime win against 100 Thieves.

Such a fact does tip the balance in favour of Natus Vincere. However, depending on the maps, this could really go either way and will likely reach the last map.
