Giants Gaming vs Team Heretics - Who will perform better in this match at the VCT EMEA League?

Predictions

Giants Gaming has had a decent run in 2023. They were able to win a series at VCT LOCK//IN before being eliminated by NRG Esports. Currently, they have won three out of their six matches at the VCT EMEA League.

Team Heretics, on the other hand, has struggled. Despite the roster being stacked with world-class players, they haven't been able to produce good results. They have won only one out of their six matches at the VCT EMEA League so far.

The matchup heavily favors Giants Gaming as Heretics has not been performing well in recent matches. On top of this, one of Heretics' players, zeek, will not be playing in this match due to internal issues. This puts them at a much bigger disadvantage.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other multiple times before. The most recent was during Valorant Regional League Spain: Rising - Stage 2 in 2022 where Team Heretics won the BO1 (Best of One) series by 1-0.

Recent results

In their most recent match, Giants Gaming lost to Team Liquid by 2-1 in the BO3 series in the EMEA League.

Team Heretics' last match was against BBL Esports, and they lost the BO3 series by 1-2.
