The Superweek of VCT Americas ends with the NRG Esports vs KRÜ Esports matchup
This is another one of the first-ever encounters in this event, as these two teams have never had the opportunity to fight each other. Both KRÜ and NRG are not looking too great right now, with a match history painted in red. This matchup will allow the Chilean team to get their first win in VCT Americas, while the North Americans will look for a chance to get back to their rhythm.

NRG Esports
NRG’s competency is in question right now after their recent two failures. Switching roles in the team between different maps hasn’t worked out for the roster, especially after their loss against Cloud9. However, this KRÜ matchup shouldn’t be too troublesome for FNS and his teammates, considering their experience and titles.

The Chileans are coming from a 0-4 streak, and they might add another loss to their list after this encounter. However, an upset isn’t impossible given their first-map performance against 100 Thieves this week, where KRÜ won ascent with a 13-4 scoreline.
