Get ready for a hyped matchup as the second-ever Fnatic vs LOUD encounter is about to take place in the Playoffs of Champions 2023
The last time these two strong forces met at LOCK//IN’s Grand Final was arguably the best professional Valorant series we have seen. A lot has happened since then, and Fnatic are looking even more powerful, as they only lost a single match in 2023. Therefore, this match will be the most exciting Playoffs encounter, and we might see the Europeans finally find their match. Both aspas and Derke are looking their finest, and we will be blessed with two of the best Jett players in the world going against one another. Let’s not wait and predict the winner of this once-in-a-lifetime series.

Fnatic
The Masters Tokyo winners did not have any trouble securing their Playoffs spot as they dominated both ZETA and Bilibili Gaming in Group C. In both of those matches, Fnatic looked like they were on a different level when you see the round differentials. With Chronicle, Alfajer and Derke looking so good, it will be hard for Brazilians to get even a single map this time compared to the famous LOCK//IN series.

LOUD
Unlike Fnatic, LOUD had a bit of trouble in the Group Stage as they lost their opening match to DRX. Fortunately, the Brazilians were able to shift the pace in their subsequent two encounters, securing the Playoffs by defeating Liquid and NAVI. Fnatic will certainly be the most formidable opponent for them at this event, but if any squad can do the impossible, it will be LOUD.
