BBL Esports vs GIANTX is a matchup that has a lot of implications for the former in the battle for the first spot in Group Alpha. The latter is out of Playoffs contention and will be purely playing for the chance to earn a point for the championship standings.

GIANTX has been quite disappointing despite the additions of Redgar and purp0. The former has been the focal point of criticism for the roster for his poor calling and abysmal individual performance. Cloud and purp0 have been the shining lights for this roster and the team will have to build around these two extensively for the next stage.

BBL Esports should comfortably win this series with a 2-0 scoreline. The Turkish team has shown some exceptional gameplay and looks like one of the best teams in EMEA along with being one of the contenders to make it to Masters Shanghai.
