EDward Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix - Which team will win VCT China 2024 Stage 1?


Prediction

EDward Gaming has always been the best team associated with the China region. Every individual on this team is exceptionally talented and has proven themselves on a global stage. With five wins and a top-place finish in its own Group in Stage 1, this squad was able to dominate the China region yet again. This team's only loss in this event came against FunPlus Phoenix.

FunPlus Phoenix, on the other hand, is among the top two teams to come out of the China region, only bested by EDward Gaming. In Stage 1, this team finally became the regional leader after defeating EDG and became the only team in this tournament with zero losses to reach the Grand Finals.
