G2 Gozen Will win

G2 Gozen and KPI Shine will play in the fourth round of the group stage of VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 2 to determine the interim leader of the standings.

Both teams are without defeat so far, but everyone will agree that KPI Shine are performing above expectations. Still, there's no question about the Samurai's, even despite a substitution in the line-up.

In general, KPI Shine are showing a strong performance at the moment, but we have to assess the team on the basis of their performance, which, however, is still not enough. Therefore, I'd go with the G2 Gozen team for the win.

G2 Gozen uniforms

The first team in the women's rankings won last year's VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Game Changers Championship, making the difference to the competition.

Already at Long Conpeg of the new season the European side won VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1, during which they suffered only two defeats, strangely enough, at the hands of BBL Queens.

And at the Long Stage of the group stage of VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 2, G2 Gozen have been doing well so far. As a result, the team have already managed to upset Anonymo Female, Odd 1 OUT and NAVI Celestials, cementing themselves at the top of the table.

Latest G2 Gozen results:

A 3-0 win over Acend Rising.
A 3-2 win over BBL Queens.

Form KPI Shine

The 28th ranked women's team won the Open Qualification for VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1 before clinching the VALORANT East: eLadies Cup #1.

However, the European side were poorly received at VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 1 where they claimed just two wins and failed to make the play-offs.

And yet KPI Shine have improved at the Long Stage of the group stage of VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Series 2, where they have already beaten Alliance.Coven, Karmine Corp GC and Odd 1 OUT.

KPI Shine's latest results:

A 2-1 win over Falcons Vega.
A 1-2 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas Lightning.
A 2-0 win over Alliance.Coven.
2-1 victory over Karmine Corp GC.
Beat Odd 1 OUT by a score of 2-0.

Best KPI Shine:

Fracture - 75% wins.

In turn, the KPI Shine team has steadily given up on Bind.

Forecast for the match G2 Gozen - KPI Shine

It is clear that with the changed line-up G2 Gozen is not as strong, but on the discourse we are facing the consistently best team not only in Europe, but also in the world.

It's also interesting that in terms of opponents KPI Shine was a bit lucky, because the team played with the clear outsiders, if we take out the meeting with Alliance.Coven out of the brackets.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on G2 Gozen to win.
