Giants Gaming Will win

Giants Gaming and Team Heretics will meet in the seventh round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League regular season. The Heretics are arguably clear, as the boys are just one win away.

Giants Gaming, on the other hand, is notable for their quite good play, with which they can still contend for play-offs. All in all, the contrast is quite noticeable, and clearly not in favour of Team Heretics.

Therefore, I would lean on Team Giants Gaming to win here. And without reinventing the wheel, it makes no sense to consider Team Heretics in this particular match.

The 28th ranked team in Europe played well in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they managed to beat DetonatioN FocusMe and also put up a good fight against NRG from North America.

As for their performance in the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, here Giants Gaming lost to Fnatic, Natus Vincere and Team Liquid, but managed to struggle everywhere.

The eighth team in the European ranking failed completely in the same VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo as they managed to lose to Evil Geniuses right on the Long Corner.

And at the Long Stage of the regular season VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League the team ran into problems, with one victory over Karmine Corp being one of the brackets.

Otherwise, Team Heretics play as if they were a clear contender for tenth place. And there is no suggestion that the situation will change for the better.

A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.

Giants Gaming - Team Heretics match prediction

I don't even know what can be said in favor of Team Heretics. It's clear that the team is trying, but even from the lineup it looks like the Challengers are crying.

In turn, Giants Gaming plays quite well, and if Cloud is included, it's a fairy tale. So I don't think there's room for The International rigs here.

So in this case, I'd recommend betting on Giants Gaming to win.
