The Guard vs Cloud9 Insights
Since the Stage 2 NA Challengers came to a conclusion in June 2022, The Guard and Cloud9 have been absent from Tier 1 competition. With their current rosters, both teams are anticipated to compete in the NA LCQ. In Stage 1 of VCT 2022, The Guard formally established themselves as one of NA’s top valorant teams. Fans were disappointed because Reykjavik and the S2 NA Challengers performed poorly at the Masters. The Guard is off to a terrific start in the NA LCQ after defeating Sentinels in the Upper Quarterfinals.
