VALORANT Champions Tour @ValorantEsportsSet your alarms for Day 12 of #VALORANTChampions1640199Set your alarms for Day 12 of #VALORANTChampions https://t.co/gh7GEb3FQ8 As Day 12 of Valorant Champions Istanbul sets in, the year-end tournament is just two steps away from determining its final two contenders. The upcoming upper-bracket semifinals will determine the teams for the consequent upper finals. It will also determine the teams destined to face FPX and Fnatic in the lower semifinals one day later. DRX and LOUD have been two of the most influential teams this VCT season. Both rosters have showcased some of the best plays in the tournament and are undoubtedly crowd favorites. Predicting the winner between these two isn't straightforward; both are tough competitors in the current VCT circuit. DRX's Valorant roster was formed by the acquisition of Vision Strikers, a well-known and competitive name in VCT 2021. LOUD's Valorant roster was formed in February 2022 by acquiring talented athletes from different teams. Saadhak and Sacy are the only ones in LOUD with experience in VCT 2021 as a part of Team Vikings. Predictions
Both LOUD and DRX are newly-built rosters. However, players belonging to the latter have been a prominent part of the international circuit since last year. That said, DRX has undergone inevitable roster changes since its formation. LOUD, on the other hand, stands strong with all its initial members on board so far. DRX has maintained incredible consistency on the circuit this year, placing first in the Korea Challengers stages. They also performed satisfactorily in both the Masters events, placing fifth/sixth in Copenhagen and Reykjavik. LOUD performed similarly well, with incredible performances in their regional Challengers and Masters Reykjavik. But they couldn't repeat their stellar Masters Stage 1 performance in Copenhagen. Considering their recent performances, both LOUD and DRX are on the same level, more or less. DRX scored two straight matchups in group play to enter the playoffs. LOUD had to endure one loser's and one decider series but emerged victorious in both to secure their spot in the bracket stage. Their opening playoff matchups went well, with LOUD defeating Leviatán and DRX defeating FPX to enter the upper semifinals. That said, DRX has been showing incredible form recently and has remained undefeated for most of it. The odds could be favoring the South Korean powerhouse in the upcoming series. Head-to-head
