KRÜ Esports and OpTic Gaming will compete for the right not to be eliminated from VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík. Who would have thought that the North Americans would play so badly that they would lose to XERXIA. Against this background, the Latin American team has good chances to catch the last chance and, perhaps, throw out one favorite.
KRÜ Esports kit
The first team of the Latin American rating started the new season very weakly. Well, at least in the final part of VCT 2022: LATAM Stage 1 Challengers Playoffs, the team woke up and dragged. As for the start of VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík, here KRÜ Esports lost to Liquid in a bitter struggle. Although the Chileans left a pleasant mark, in some moments there is not enough motivation from last year.

Form OpTic Gaming
The second team in the North American ranking took second place in the VCT 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, still showing a good game. However, at the start of VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík, the North American team took the liberty of losing to XERXIA. Another joke from the team from NA, which overestimated itself and scored on the opponent. So it turns out that OpTic Gaming is in danger of leaving the championship with the steering wheel.

KRÜ Esports vs OpTic Gaming Prediction
It seems that the North American team decided to quickly return home. Otherwise, how to explain such connivance is impossible. At the same time, the Latin Americans are obliged to fight to the last, since the chances of reaching the playoffs remain. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the KRÜ Esports team.
