Prediction
Based on the teams' performance at Masters Bangkok, EDward Gaming looks like the stronger team. They beat both the other finalists in convincing fashion. The squad's star player, ZmjjKK has been having a phenomenal tournament, with a 260+ ACS. The team's primary Sentinel, CHICHOO has also had a stellar showing so far, trailing only Team Vitality's Derke in terms of overall impact.
T1, on the other hand, escaped elimination twice, after losing their first match in Bangkok to Team Vitality. However, their last map against DRX, where they dominated their Korean rivals, showed the heights of their potential.
While T1 has been deemed to be a super team, it will take all players firing on all cylinders to beat the reigning Valorant world champion, EDG.
