Прогноз на матч: The Guard - OpTic Gaming | VALORANT

The Guard and OpTic Gaming will play in the ¼ finals of VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík. I won't dare single out the favorite of the match, since this game will become a matter of principle for both teams. And if OpTic Gaming certainly wants to take revenge, then The Guard needs to justify their high seeding in the tournament.

The Guard Uniform

The first team of the North American ranking became the winner of the VCT 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, after which they made it to the quarterfinals of the Masters. We can say that the team showed a good game at that championship, and they didn’t forget about the character. But the main problem for The Guard may be the lack of experience on the big stage.

Form OpTic Gaming

The second NA ranked team had a terrible start to the VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters – Reykjavík, with no chance of dropping XERXIA. However, the North Americans came to their senses in time and made it to the playoffs. In any case, the sediment remains, and OpTic Gaming is now scary to look at. Nevertheless, the team must meet in the quarterfinals, since the opponent, one might say, is principled.
