The ever-exciting LOUD vs Sentinels Grand Final matchup will determine seeding, with the winner securing three Championship Points
Out of the 11 teams that started at the Americas Kickoff, only two remain – Sentinels and LOUD. These two have already secured Masters Madrid by winning their semifinal matches, and this upcoming Bo5 will determine seeding and grant the winner three Championship Points to qualify for Champions 2024.
Here are our predictions for this exciting Grand Final matchup between Brazilian favorites and North American dark horses.
LOUD
Saadhak and his teammates have not faced a single loss in the Americas, avoiding the play-ins and only playing three series to reach the Grand Final. On top of that, their first match was against Sentinels, where LOUD enjoyed a clear 2-0 victory.
