LOUD vs Sentinels Predictions

Both teams have looked great so far this season, especially Sentinels, who stopped the surging 100 Thieves in the previous round. LOUD, on the other side, have had the luxury of facing Evil Geniuses and KRU Esports; however, despite having an easier schedule, LOUD played well and look poised to contest top finishes this season.
LOUD still have a lot more to prove, especially after their rough display in the offseason, but LOUD have looked better in the early stages of the Americas Kickoff and just might surprise Sentinels.
- Sentinels are one of the region's top teams
- LOUD are finding their momentum
- LOUD have the tools to deal with any team
Head to Head
Sentinels and LOUD have yet to meet this season.
LOUD Esports Form
LOUD have made it to the upper bracket semifinal of VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff with two 2-0 sweeps of Evil Geniuses and KRU Esports, which is commendable. However, LOUD are not getting much respect for that run as they've avoided all of the top teams in the region.
Admittedly, LOUD could have done better, especially against Evil Geniuses, who they beat 14-12 on Split and 13-10 on Pearl.
A bigger concern with LOUD is their rough offseason showing; granted, that proves very little, as LOUD have improved across the first two games of VCT 2025 Americas.
That especially holds true for Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira, who is in incredible form and one of the main reasons for LOUD's flawless run so far.
LOUD Squad & Team News
No roster changes were announced by LOUD.
- Cauan "cauanzin" Pereira
- Arthur "tuyz" Vieira
- Bryan "pANcada" Luna
- Douglas "dgzin" Silva
- Vinicius "v1nNy" Gonçalves
Sentinels Form
Sentinels made all the necessary changes to compete for top spots this season. The biggest one was the arrival of Sean "bang" Bezerra, who looked incredible against his former team in the previous round.
Sentinels already had a solid showing in the offseason at SEN City Classic 2024, but they seemed to have shifted into a higher gear since the season started. Their most significant strength is a good read on the current meta – they are running excellent compositions, which allows Sentinels to have a response for anything.
That, on top of fielding a very stacked roster, makes Sentinels a very scary team to face.
Sentinels Squad & Team News
Sentinels have not made any roster changes.
- Sean "bang" Bezerra
- Jordan "Zellsis" Montemurro
- Amine "johnqt" Ouarid
- Zachary "zekken" Patrone
- Marshall "N4RRATE" Massey
Verdict
This will be a tough match for LOUD, who while have shown some great stuff in the first two rounds of action, have yet to face a team as solid and strong as Sentinels.
LOUD made good roster changes before the start of the season, but they will need their top players to step up and even then, they'll need to find an answer to Sentinels' versatility.
I have high hopes for LOUD as Brazil's top VALORANT team, and I can see them take a map off Sentinels. Anything more seems unlikely.
