M80 vs Oxygen Esports Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Playoffs

Day 3 of the VCL NA Playoffs will start with the M80 vs Oxygen Esports upper semi-finals matchup

M80 vs Oxygen Esports ticks all the boxes to be a potential barn-burner. Both teams have recently displayed some of the finest Valorant in the NA region. The last encounter between the teams resulted in a victory for M80 after an intense BO3. This serves as a testament to Oxygen Esports' potential to spring a surprise upset this time around. If you're eager to delve deeper into the upcoming matchup, follow this preview and prediction guide.

M80

M80 continue to dominate the NA VCL, showcasing no signs of slowing down. Going up against Shopify Rebellion in the upper quarterfinals, many doubted them because of the previous defeat they suffered at the hands of vanity and co. However, the current leader of the NA Circuit Points standings avenged that loss in style beating SR 2-0 while losing only 11 rounds across the two maps.

Oxygen took full advantage of a weak G2, with Reduxx wearing the crown on Ascent with 274 ACS and Verno dominating Haven with 286. This was an expected victory from mitch and his teammates, but taking a win from M80 will be their toughest challenge in the Playoffs.
