Match Prediction: DetonatioN FocusMe - Giants Gaming | VALORANT

DetonatioN FocusMe and the Giants will meet in the first round of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. I don't think that the representatives of Asia have a great chance to surprise, although the current line-up of the Giants does not inspire confidence.

However, you need to understand that DetonatioN FocusMe managed to debut in the updated roster, showing a mediocre game at the LAN tournament in Japan in December.

Therefore, here the Giants have excellent chances not to bury themselves and start the championship with a confident victory.

Form DetonatioN FocusMe

The Japanese team met back in October last year - almost immediately after becoming a partner. However, it is difficult to call the selection of top players, since DetonatioN FocusMe signed the guys on a leftover basis.

At the same time, the team managed to debut in this form, completely failing at Riot Games ONE PRO INVITATIONA. Moreover, the Japanese suffered three defeats, losing once to the representatives of Europe, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

DetonatioN FocusMe latest results:

• Lost to Paper Rex with a score of 8:13.
• Lost to DRX with a score of 6:13.
• Lost to Fnatic with a score of 8:13.

Giants form

The European team was formed at the beginning of November, but at the same time, it retained the experienced Fit1nho in the main clip. Moreover, the selection of players seems to be quite holistic, since there are G2 Esports stars here.

As for the debut, Giants managed to reach the semi-finals of G-Loot VALORANT Clash - Grand Finals, in which they unexpectedly lost to Parla Esports. However, the team is promising enough to close the Japanese.

Latest Giants results:

• Victory over Galatasaray Esports with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over BBL Esports with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Parla Esports with a score of 1:2.

Prediction for the match DetonatioN FocusMe — Giants

Perhaps the main intrigue is whether the Japanese will be able to pick up at least one card. Personally, I believe in this alignment with great difficulty, although sensations are possible at the start of the season. And yet the European collective seems much more coherent to stumble. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Giants to win with a score of 2: 0.
