EDward Gaming and Bilibili Gaming will meet in the grand finals of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier. As before, the teams play exclusively for seeding, but there is no question in terms of the favourite.
It should be recalled that the teams have already played against each other a few days earlier, and then EDward Gaming won a resounding victory, taking all three maps from Bilibili Gaming.
I believe that this time nothing will change, and Bilibili Gaming defeated FunPlus Phoenix with great difficulty the day before. Therefore, here I would bet on the victory of EDward Gaming team with map handicap (-1,5).
EDward Gaming form
The first team of the Chinese ranking failed at VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, but played well within their region, winning the second split.
EDward Gaming also recently opened the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, where they managed to run up to 5th-6th place, sending Natus Vincere and LOUD home.
As for the performance in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier, the Chinese team first defeated Team Weibo, and then left TYLOO and Bilibili Gaming behind.
EDward Gaming's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over LOUD.
- A 1:2 defeat to Paper Rex.
- A 2-0 win over Team Weibo.
- A 3-0 win over TYLOO.
- 3:0 win over Bilibili Gaming.

Bilibili Gaming uniforms
The second team of the Chinese ranking failed in the qualification for FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 1, but at the same time took the second place at the end of FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 2.
On the other hand, the Chinese team confidently qualified for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier, where they defeated Monarch Effect and Trace Esports and got a ticket to Los Angeles.
However, things got a little worse for Bilibili Gaming as the team defeated EDward Gaming without a chance, and also had a hard time getting past FunPlus Phoenix and into the grand finals.
Bilibili Gaming's latest results:
- A 0:3 defeat to EDward Gaming.
- A 2-0 win over Monarch Effect.
- A 3-0 win over Trace Esports.
- 0:3 defeat by EDward Gaming.
- A 3:2 win over FunPlus Phoenix.
Best results of Bilibili Gaming:
- Lotus - 67% wins.
- Split - 67% wins.
- Ascent - 67% wins.
- Pearl - 60% wins.
- Bind - 60% wins.
- Haven - 50% wins.
- Fracture - 50% wins.
In turn, the team of Bilibili Gaming often gives up Fracture.

Within the current season, the teams have held three meetings:

Prediction for the match EDward Gaming - Bilibili Gaming
I don't see the point in adding any comments, as Bilibili Gaming has already proved that it doesn't reach the level of its opponent.
In turn, EDward Gaming moves as confidently as possible, crushing everyone on its way. In general, let's dispense with unnecessary words.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of EDward Gaming team with map handicap (-1.5).
