VCT 2021 NA Last Chance Qualifier predictions – Gen.G vs Luminosity


The VALORANT Champions Tour 2021 North America Last Chance Qualifier continues on Thursday, October 28, with a lower-bracket clash between Gen.G and Luminosity.

These two teams should have met at the start of the month, but after two FaZe Clan players tested positive to COVID-19, the whole tournament transitioned to an online format. That likely won’t affect the players, but it does mean that the teams have been out of action for two weeks.

There would have been a certain amount of ring rust for this bout regardless, seeing how Gen.G have played only one game this month (1-2 against 100 Thieves), which was their first official match since July. Luminosity played three games in August but have since only appeared in one – a 1-2 loss against XSET on October 12.

This match could go either way, and while Gen.G might look stronger on paper, we don’t see how they can produce a clean sweep given their weak map pool. Gen.G have dropped at least a map in all but one of their last nine outings, and we don’t expect that to change.
