XSET Prediction - FunPlus Phoenix
The group stage of Valorant Champions 2022 is in full swing, today we’ll talk about the match of the winners in Group C. Representatives of XSET North America will face the Europeans from FunPlus Phoenix, and this is perhaps the most interesting match of the day. Both teams have already earned one victory each, and are considered the favorites of the group, they have not held face-to-face meetings with each other before, and now they have to determine the first participant in the playoffs, in the bo3 format.
FunPlus Phoenix shape
The European team played its first match at the tournament against the representatives of the southern region of Latin America - KRU Esports. Being the favorite of the match, they not without difficulty justified their title on two maps Icebox (14-12), where it came to one extra round, and Bind (13-10), where the fight was almost equal. Separately, I would like to note the second map Bind, which is on the list of the strongest of the team, it had certain difficulties, and this suggests that the opponents were underestimated.

Xset form
The North American team played their first match in the tournament against XERXIA from Thailand, and the situations here are similar to future opponents. Being the favorites of the match, XSET players did not easily close down their opponents on two maps: Fracture (13-11), Icebox (13-10). However, such a result is quite obvious, if you look at the statistics of the maps, it becomes clear that Fracture and Icebox are far from the strongest maps for the team, besides, the team played only 7 matches on Fracture, so difficulties in winning are quite natural.

Match prediction
As I wrote earlier, this is the most interesting match of the day, the top 2 in North America against the top 1 in Europe, which means there will be something to watch. I think the match will drag on for 3 maps, but as for the winner, I can’t say for sure. Both teams showed themselves worthy for the season, and went to the World Championship directly on points. But if we take the tournaments, then the Phoenixes are the winners of the second Masters, but the performance of the XSET players did not work out there. I think not without difficulty, but the victory will go to the European team.
Outcome: FunPlus Phoenix win
