In the recent analysis of the semi-final matches of VCT 2024: Americas Kickoff, professional player Pujan "FNS" Mehta from NRG predicts that the chances of the Evil Geniuses team to defeat LOUD are close to zero.

During the broadcast held on Tuesday, February 27, Mehta shared a general overview of the tournament, highlighting LOUD, Sentinels, and NRG as the leaders among the participants.

For clarity, EG has no chance of defeating LOUD, literally none. It's not worth our attention. But NRG against Sentinels? I'm not sure. I lean towards 2:1 in favor of NRG. I think Sentinels will fight, but they have played too many matches and unsuccessfully. For Sentinels to be able to defeat NRG after so many games, and NRG has the opportunity to study all of them, NRG will have to play extremely weakly.
