Getting 2-0'od initially by EG, and then later getting the same fate by EDward Gaming must feel rough for Valorant's most successful prize-winning org.

Lower bracket elimination games can be as stressful as the finals because they carry a lot at stake. LOUD secured the top spot in the VCT Americas League, which gave them the advantage of starting in the Upper Brackets for this year's Masters in Tokyo. However, as we can see, that didn't do them any good.

Their first matchup was versus another "EG" team, and this is how their games went:
- Map: Fracture - LOUD 7 : 13 Evil Geniuses
- Map: Ascent - LOUD 5 : 13 Evil Geniuses
- Decider: Lotus - //
The similarities in both games were that the opposing team played like LOUD themselves in their prime when they won Champions 2022. Super creative, extremely aggressive, and unholdable.

Their game versus the "other EG team" went like this:
- Map: Lotus - LOUD 6 : 13 EDward Gaming
- Map: Fracture - LOUD 10 : 13 EDward Gaming
- Decider: Blind - //

The standout highlight of this matchup was Kangkang (ZmjjKK)'s outstanding performance. He racked up a total of 39 kills and secured the first blood in 9 rounds. EDward played with an intensity that made it seem like their lives depended on this game. They left LOUD with no breathing space on both maps. Fans are already hyping up the Chinese team, and we're confident that the crowd will erupt in their next game against the losing side of Team Liquid versus Evil Geniuses.
