Matchförutsägelse: Giants Gaming - FUT Esports | VALORANT

Giants Gaming and FUT Esports will face off in the first quarter-final of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, where they will play for the right to face Fnatic and still make it to the bottom of the table.

Both teams finished the regular season on similar terms, with five wins and four defeats each. Still, Giants Gaming made a better impression in the end, especially as the face-to-face team was ahead.

To be fair, FUT Esports will have an incredibly tough time in the play-offs, as the Turks have been a pale shadow of themselves in recent weeks. So here I would lean on the Giants Gaming team to win.

The 25th ranked team in Europe had nothing to show in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they registered only one win, but failed to cope with NRG in the second round.

Furthermore, Giants Gaming didn't play their best in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League where they lost too many uncontested matches.

Fortunately in the end, the European squad managed to get back into contention to defeat FUT Esports, Team Vitality and Karmine Corp in five rounds, slipping into the play-offs.

Giants Gaming's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over FUT Esports.
• A 1-2 loss to Team Liquid.
• A 0-2 loss to Team Heretics.

• 2-0 win over Karmine Corp.

Top scorers for Giants Gaming:

• Ascent - 100% wins.

It is worth recalling that the European squad have been steadily denying maps Fracture.

Giants Gaming - FUT Esports encounter statistics

Giants Gaming vs FUT Esports

Last time the teams played Icebox and Split. In this case, the first of them we will no longer see, and on the second one was quite a close fight.

And yet here I would not make up too much, because the Turkish team does not particularly jump over their heads, and Giants Gaming shows a good and aggressive style.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Giants Gaming win.
