Giants Gaming and Team Liquid will meet at VCT 2021 Europe Stage 3 Challengers 2 to determine the championship winner. By and large, the match means nothing in terms of future prospects, since both teams have already qualified for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. However, the prize money, as well as the status, should play an important role in the process of determining the strongest.
Giants Gaming Form
The fourth team of the European rating literally surprises at this championship. After some point rearrangements before the start of the tournament, the team literally changed, having thrown off not only Rix.GG Thunder, but also Fnatic. And the defeat of Team Liquid in the final of the upper bracket was clearly not an accident, as Davidp gave the team incredible self-confidence. Therefore, for me personally, Giants Gaming will be the main favorite of this final.
Recent Giants Gaming results:

Best Giants Gaming Cards:
- Breeze - 100% wins.
- Ascent - 77% wins.
- Bind - 77% wins.
- Icebox - 70% wins.
- Split - 64% wins.
With the Haven map, the team does not stick at all. However, the map will surely go beyond the limits of the upcoming series.
Team Liquid Form
The second team of the European rating is holding a crumpled championship, as well as all the previous ones. For example, the team actually failed in the VCT 2021: Europe Stage 3 Challengers 1, falling off quite equally in the lower bracket. As for the current tournament, Team Liquid could have lost to Team Vitality at the start, showing a completely raw game. And everyone remembers the further defeat by Giants Gaming.
Recent Team Liquid results:
- Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Team Vitality with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over TENSTAR with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from Giants Gaming with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Fnatic with a score of 3: 2.
Best Team Liquid cards:
- Breeze - 83% win rate.
- Icebox - 75% wins.
- Ascent - 73% wins.
- Haven - 71% wins.
- Split - 66% wins.
- Bind - 60% wins.
In this case, the situation is slightly better than that of the opponent. However, in general, we should talk about the form of teams.
Giants Gaming - Team Liquid meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams had only one meeting - in the final of the upper bracket of the VCT 2021 Europe Stage 3 Challengers 2, the victory went to Giants Gaming (2: 0).
Prediction for the match Giants Gaming - Team Liquid
After the recent defeat from Giants Gaming, even the format of the meeting does not allow doubting the team's prospects for victory. Another thing is that Team Liquid is now extremely unstable, which is caused by not the most confident play of the stars. Moreover, the players take turns replacing each other, constantly shuffling their strong cards. In such a situation, it will be difficult to resist the "giants". Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Giants Gaming team.
