⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
We suggest backing LYON to win. The North American squad have already showcased their dominance over Team Secret Whales, sweeping them 3-0 at MSI 2026. LYON have also claimed victory in three of their last five matches, including significant wins over Cloud9 and Shopify Rebellion. While the Vietnamese side come into this clash riding a three-game winning streak, all of those victories were secured in the regional LCP championship. Given LYON’s head-to-head advantage and proven track record against this opponent, we’re siding with the North American team.
