Match Prediction: forZe - FunPlus Phoenix | VALORANT

Handicap +1.5 (forZe)

forZe and FunPlus Phoenix will meet in the first round of the VCT 2021 Lower Bracket: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. Both teams did not live up to their expectations at the start, while the European team, as expected, was among the favorites of the tournament.

ForZe form

The 12th team of the European rating qualified for the championship only on the second attempt, while winning VCT 2021: CIS Stage 3 Challengers 2. However, at the start of VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, the Russian team failed to cope with the Swedes from Guild, showing signs of mature games only on the second map. But it is worth saying that the team had time to rest and prepare, while the opponent was busy with replays.

It is worth noting that there is parity against the background of the opponent, but only in a statistical order.

FunPlus Phoenix Shape

The seventh team in the European ranking made a reshuffle in the coaching staff, after which they immediately got to VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. But after a confident victory over Fire Flux, the team slowed down a bit, unable to cope with SuperMassive Blaze. Now the Europeans have to get out of the bottom, where the wagon and the small cart are worthy rivals.

Forecast for the match forZe - FunPlus Phoenix

It is clear that FunPlus Phoenix will be considered the favorite of the meeting. However, I would not write off with forZe in advance, since this command looked good against the background of Guild. Therefore, here I propose to take a chance and put on Forum (+1.5) for the forZe team.
