Darker and lukxo each reached thirty-two eliminations for LOUD. Their work kept Haven close and prevented an early end to the map. Several LOUD attacks began with the first elimination. The problem arrived after entry into the plant area, when 100 Thieves traded and delayed the spike plant. A good opening creates time but does not complete a Valorant round. LOUD sometimes separated its players while trying to cover several angles. 100 Thieves punished those gaps with paired retakes. The defenders rarely needed one player to solve the entire situation alone.<\/p>\n
The economy remained stable for the winners<\/h2>\n
100 Thieves finished more rounds with multiple surviving weapons. Those saves reduced the cost of later purchases and protected the team’s tactical options. LOUD faced more low-credit rounds after losing close situations. The team still caused damage, but incomplete purchases limited utility and armour. Summit showed the larger economic difference. Haven was tighter because LOUD converted more early fights and preserved weapons more often. The pattern explains the two final margins without relying only on eliminations. Round survival influenced what each lineup could buy next.<\/p>\n
Summit gave 100 Thieves a five-round victory. Haven was tighter, but the team still reached thirteen before LOUD could extend the match. bang led the server with forty-three eliminations. Darker and lukxo each recorded thirty-two for LOUD across the two maps. LOUD reached ten rounds on Haven after collecting eight on Summit. Its stronger second map reduced the margin without changing the series result. 100 Thieves finished with twenty-six map rounds. Reliable late retakes supplied the final difference on both selections.<\/p>\n LOUD reached double figures only on Haven. Better entries into the plant area allowed the team to plant the spike and force more complete retake situations. 100 Thieves still entered those retakes with useful information. The defenders checked nearby angles together instead of moving through them separately.<\/p>\n Three additional LOUD rounds would have forced the next map. 100 Thieves stopped the run before that pressure could develop.<\/p>\n LOUD improved after the break and reached double figures on Haven. The attack created more spike plants and forced longer defensive retakes. 100 Thieves answered before the round total became level. Its rotations arrived early enough to contest the planted spike with several players alive.<\/p>\n The final three-round margin was smaller than the difference on Summit. It also reflected LOUD’s better conversion after entry into the plant area. Haven ended 13-10, completing a match in which both lineups had competitive defensive periods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 100 Thieves won 2-0 against LOUD during the fourth week of VCT Americas Stage 2.
