Forecast LOUD - Ninjas In Pajamas
Perhaps the most interesting match, apart from the grand final, will be between Ninjas In Pajamas and LOUD, the two favorites of the tournament. The teams will clash on June 24 in the final of the upper bracket as part of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022 Brazil Stage 2, match format bo5. Both participants deservedly made it to the final, showing phenomenal results both in the group stage and in the playoff series, but more on that below.
Form LOUD
Earlier, I analyzed in detail the excellent annual statistics of the club, so today we will talk about the tournament. The team performed well in the group, finishing the stage in first place in the ranking, the team had four wins and zero losses behind them. This allowed the players to go directly to the upper bracket semi-finals, where they easily dealt with Los Grandes (2-0), sending them to the loser. Now they will fight with suitable opponents who are the leaders of their group for the right to reach the grand final.
Composition LOUD
- aspas
- Less
- pANcada
- Saadhak
- Sacy
As I said earlier, the line-up was formed at the beginning of this year, and consists of members from different clubs. Even without the experience of playing together, the participants played together perfectly, and the result was a line-up showing an excellent performance, both in the tournament and beyond, and now occupying the first line in the rating among Brazilian teams. Aspas, a former member of SLICK, deserves a special mention; in most matches, he is in the lead.

- Victory over FURIA Esports 2-0

- Victory over Los Grandes 2-0
Just looking at the results of recent matches is enough to understand why the club is now in the final of the upper bracket. So far, the team has not encountered resistance on its way, but the next opponent is definitely of the same level, so we will be watching the outcome of the match with curiosity.

Uniform Ninjas in Pajamas
Let's move on to an equally impressive team, and consider their path through the tournament. Like future rivals, the team closed the group stage without defeat (4-0), which allowed them to go to the upper bracket semi-finals, where they were met by the winners of the Keyd Stars quarter-final, with whom they coped without problems (2-0). Thanks to the last victory, the players were in the final, where they will face the most serious opponents in the entire series of matches.
Composition Ninjas in Pajamas
- xand
- Jonn
- be1n1
- cauanzin
- v1xen
Instead of bnj, who left earlier, v1xen, who previously played in Vorax, joined the roster. So far, the newcomer shows not too impressive results, being in the bottom of the table in most matches.
Result of the last 5 matches
- Defeated MIBR 2-1
- Defeated TBK Esports 2-1
- Defeated Keyd Stars 2-1
- Victory over Keyd Stars 2-0
- Victory over Liberty 2-0
Although the team is considered the favorite, unlike future rivals, most of the matches were held with a kind of struggle, in many it was not possible to close the opponents dry. This may indicate that NIP is still slightly lower than LOUD.

Match prediction
An interesting match awaits us, the two strongest teams of the tournament will clash for the right to go to the grand final, but even the loss of one of them does not mean elimination, because there are still places in the lower bracket. It is difficult to determine who is stronger at the moment. In the LOUD tournament, they went a little better, given the score with which they closed all opponents, and take first place in the ranking of Brazilian teams. At the same time, their opponents are in second place, and the difference is almost imperceptible, but it seems to me that the LOUD players do not plan to lose at all, so my vote is for them.
The result is a victory for LOUD.
