The LOUD vs EDward Gaming rematch from Masters Tokyo will take place at Champions 2023’s Lower Bracket
The last time these two forces met each other, EDward Gaming shocked the world by securing a huge upset by eliminating LOUD from Masters Tokyo with a dominating 2-0 victory. However, the Brazilians are looking much better than their disappointing run in Japan, as they have recently defeated Fnatic in the Playoffs and are hungry for their second Champions trophy. Will this be another victory for the Chinese roster, or are they going to be sent home from the Playoffs? Let’s predict –

LOUD
Coming from a dominating 2-0 series against Fnatic, the Brazilians lost to PRX in their last match, dropping down to the Lower Bracket. Looking at their previous encounter against the Singaporeans, LOUD enjoyed an easy win on Split but couldn’t do the same on Pearl. Moreover, they almost ended up winning Lotus but failed to take advantage of the map point. Going against EDG, they will have to face a team that enjoys a pace similar to PRX.

EDward Gaming
EDward Gaming kept their Champions’ hopes alive after eliminating fellow Chinese roster Bilibili in their last match. However, ZmjjKK was failing to dominate as we are used to seeing him do, and his failure to counter aspas’ aggression from the other side might be the end of the journey for EDG.
