We are slowly coming to the end of VALORANT’s 2022 season for esports betting fans. After the regional leagues and two international Masters tournaments, teams will once again take the stage in some regions to qualify for the VALORANT Champions 2022 which will be held at the end of the year. North America is one of these regions. 8 teams will compete against each other for the last ticket in the VCT 2022 North America Last Chance Qualifier.

- Shopify Rebellion vs Cloud9

Who is likely to win VCT 2022 North America Last Chance Qualifier?
There are many strong teams in the tournament. Stage 1 Champion The Guard, Cloud9, one of the most important teams of Stage 1, 100 Thieves, a new and strong team, and Sentinels, which has added one of the most recognizable names in the world, Shroud. On paper, it would not be wrong to say that everyone has a chance.
Since we haven’t seen the teams on the server for a while, it’s hard to predict how they will perform. However, it should be noted that the 100 Thieves roster is one step ahead. With the roster and technical team they have built, I think they will make a good work plan and come to this tournament ambitious.
