BBL Queens and Case Hydra will meet in the fourth round of the group stage of VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 2. So far, the Turkish side have been going exactly as many expected.
Case Hydra, on the other hand, have already stalled, suffering one defeat at the hands of Acend Rising. The Spaniards, on the other hand, are a rather heresy team, but it's still unclear against BBL Queens.
In general, I keep in mind the fact that the Spanish team can cause problems to the opponent, and the statistics speak in their favor. But I'm not so sure about something here. Therefore, I will opt for a BBL Queens win here.
Form BBL Queens
The fourth team in the women's rankings failed at the end of last season's Aim Lab Frostbite Series, but managed to qualify for VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1 on their own at Long Converge 2023.
That said, at VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1 itself, the Turkish squad showed a great game, even outscoring G2 Gozen twice. And yet in the final, the Ledge girls lost to the Samurais, taking only silverware.
However, BBL Queens made an immediate recovery at the Long Cog Group Stage of VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 2, where they managed to outplay FUT Female, The A Team and EXCEL GC without conceding a single point.

The 21st ranked women's team won Circuito Tormenta 2023: Secret Valorant Femenino #1 back in the season, where, however, they didn't feel any competition.
The Spanish side then crashed out in VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1 with just three wins in their group and therefore failed to qualify for the championship play-offs.

BBL Queens - Case Hydra encounter statistics
The teams met once last season at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Game Changers EMEA Series 2 and Case Hydra were victorious (2-0).
BBL Queens vs Case Hydra
Despite the history of the meetings, you have to admit that enough time has passed since then. That said, the Spanish side have yet to prove themselves in this tournament, going through the clear underdogs.
On the other hand, BBL Queens are obviously a big favourite, because the Turkish team can count on a title, considering all the problems the Samurais have.
Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on a BBL Queens win.
