Fnatic vs ZETA DIVISION: Who will win this Valorant Champions 2023 matchup?

Predictions

Fnatic are undoubtedly the best Valorant team in the world right now. They have proved themselves time and again, with no other teams coming close to the level that they are currently playing at. They are back-to-back champions of two international events – VCT Lock//In and Masters Tokyo.

Fnatic are clear favorites to not only win this matchup but the Valorant Champions Los Angeles 2023 too.

Fresh off of their VCT: Pacific LCQ win, ZETA DIVISION are also not to be taken lightly. They have shown their capability of beating top-tier teams on the big stage. Having said that, it would take a lot of effort to beat the current Fnatic roster, and going by recent results, it will be challenging to do so.

ZETA DIVISION caused a major upset when they beat the old Fnatic roster back in Masters Reykjavik 2022. They met once recently in Riot Games’ One Pro Invitational, where Fnatic, with their current roster, came out on top with a score of 1-0.

Recent results

Fnatic are on top of the world right now, having won the Masters Tokyo 2023 with relative ease and coming into Valorant Champions 2023 as the clear favorites.

ZETA DIVISION have also been performing really well, winning the VCT: Pacific LCQ to qualify for the Champions 2023, and have set high expectations for themselves.
