Match Prediction: FunPlus Phoenix - Team Liquid | VALORANT

FunPlus Phoenix and Team Liquid will meet in the group stage of VCT 2022: EMEA Stage 1 Challengers. Despite the fact that FunPlus Phoenix is the leader of the standings, the team is currently in an unenviable position. In this regard, the European team has every chance to win and take the lead.

FunPlus Phoenix shape

The fifth European ranked team got off to a surprisingly strong start at VCT 2022: EMEA Stage 1 Challengers with two wins. And if no one expected anything else in the game with BIG, then the victory over Gambit looks unexpected. However, due to known events, the future of FunPlus Phoenix remains a big question mark. Moreover, ANGE1 cannot play with the team, which is the main problem.

Form Team Liquid

The third team in the European rankings had a terrible start in the group stage of VCT 2022: Europe Stage 1 Challengers, losing to Gambit. Well, at least the team managed to improve, having obtained a labor victory over NAVI. Well, in the third round, Team Liquid managed to return to the group of leaders at all, having confidently closed LDN UTD.

Prediction for the match FunPlus Phoenix — Team Liquid

I don't think that FunPlus Phoenix in this state is able to continue the tournament in the same style. At the same time, the European team began to grope for their game, more and more reminiscent of their last year's version. Therefore, taking into account all external factors, I would recommend betting on the victory of Team Liquid with a score of 2:0.
