G2 Esports and Team Liquid will go against each other tonight in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA Stage-1 Challengers Playoffs.
Both teams have finished in the top three of their respective groups and are now looking to repeat the same in the Playoffs to qualify for the VCT Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik. Both are looking to make a positive start to their campaign with a win tonight.
G2 Esports and Team Liquid: Who will win the match in the VCT 2022 EMEA Stage-1 Challengers Playoffs?
G2 Esports and Team Liquid will face each other in a best-of-three series tonight. The winner will face FunPlus Phoenix in the Upper-Semifinals while the loser will go down to Lower Bracket and continue their journey in the competition from there onwards.
Prediction:
G2 Esports and Team Liquid are two of the finest teams in the region. Both have a huge fanbase behind them, and the pressure of performing in these big games is higher than the rest of the teams.
Considering their current form, Team Liquid can come out on top against G2 Esports tonight. When a team has a player like Travis “L1NK” Mendoza and a brother duo of Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom & Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, opponents are always a bit wary of them.
However, G2 Esports has a complete balance of firepower and experience in terms of Oscar "Mixwell" Canellas and Zygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas. The German side has the potential to stop Team Liquid's explosive play strategically and counter them with their unique playstyle.
Head-to-head:
Both teams have faced each other six times in the past, and G2 Esports has won thrice in the past. However, Team Liquid has dominated the matchup recently.
Recent Results:
Both teams have won three of their last five games in all competitions. All the matches were played in the VCT EMEA Stage-1 Challengers Group-Stage.
