100 Thieves and Cloud9 face off in the fourth week of VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 Americas Stage 2. 100 Thieves have dominated recent weeks, racking up 11 consecutive wins and needing just one more victory to secure the top seed in their group. In contrast, Cloud9 have managed only a single win in the stage and are destined for a bottom finish. With 100 Thieves in superb form and Cloud9 struggling, a 2-0 victory for 100T is the likely outcome.

100 Thieves vs Cloud9 Betting Predictions


100 Thieves and Cloud9 will face off on Friday, August 7, in the fourth week of VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 Americas Stage 2, marking their first clash since the Kickoff event.

100 Thieves won the last outing and have recently found serious traction, with a perfect run through the Esports World Cup and VCT Americas Stage 2, accumulating 11 straight victories. While 100T have been surging, Cloud9 have failed to find any meaningful traction as they enter the final week of play with a 1-3 record.

With just one win to their name, C9 are guaranteed a bottom-two finish in their group, with nothing more to gain on Friday.

Meanwhile, 100T need one more victory to secure the No. 1 seed, adding urgency which could inspire a strong showing from one of VCT Americas’ most dominant teams.

  • 100 Thieves are in excellent shape
  • Cloud9 have shown little to no improvement this stage
  • 100 Thieves should handle C9 with ease

100 Thieves Are Rolling


100 Thieves have been in excellent shape over the last two months. While they had to settle for a fourth-place finish in Stage 1, 100T have since looked like an entirely different beast, winning the Esports World Cup 2026 and producing a perfect run through the first three weeks of VCT Americas Stage 2.

100 Thieves enter Friday’s game on a run of three wins, having beaten G2 Esports (2-1), KRU Esports (2-0), and Sentinels (2-1), thus effectively handling all of Group Omega’s top contenders.

Holding a 10-game winning streak, 100T are in great shape and appear more than capable of finishing the group with a perfect 5-0 record.

Cloud9 Are in Rough Shape


Cloud9 have been one of the worst-performing teams of VCT Americas. They started the season with a sixth-place finish in Americas Kickoff, then placed 11th-12th in Stage 1, and have not shown many signs of improvement in Stage 2.

Zellsis and his men enter the final week of play with a 1-3 record, which includes a sole victory against KRU Esports last Sunday, and losses against Sentinels, G2 Esports, and LOUD.

Cloud9 showed some fight against Sentinels in the first week of play, but looked toothless against G2 Esports and struggled too much against LOUD. Results like that suggest that Cloud9 do not have the tools to challenge VCT Americas’ top squads.

Cloud9 Squad & Team News


Cloud9 haven’t announced any roster changes since promoting Veer to head coach at the end of July.

  • Francis "OXY" Hoang
  • Jordan "Zellsis" Montemurro
  • Jack "Jackk" Foote
  • Cameron "FireBallOps" Tomaselli
  • Victor "v1c" Truong

Verdict

Cloud9 and 100 Thieves have found themselves on opposite trajectories. While 100 Thieves have been ramping up since Stage 1, Cloud9 have not only been struggling since early in the season, but they’ve shown little to no improvement since.

With a 1-3 record in Stage 2 and two rough losses against LOUD and G2 Esports, Cloud9 have shown nothing that would inspire confidence that they can challenge 100 Thieves.

This is 100 Thieves’ game to lose, and given their performances against bottom teams, a 2-0 sweep is a likely outcome.
