The second EDG vs Giants matchup of Champions 2023 will give us the last Playoffs contender from Group A
This is the most crucial game between the two teams so far in their career, as the winner of the matchup will move forward to the Playoffs to join the other seven of the best Valorant teams. On the other hand, losing the decider match will be the end of the journey for one of the groups. Giants and EDward Gaming have already met each other for their opening matches of the Champions, and as we predicted, the Chinese powerhouse of a team took the victory in a 2-1 series. Will this time be any different? Let’s predict –

EDG
Although EDG lost 0-2 to Paper Rex in their last match, the series was close, especially the second map, where the Chinese roster failed to capitalize on their lead. Going into this game, the pressure will undoubtedly be on this squad as the favorites, and as they have already defeated Giants before, we expect EDward Gaming to have the upper hand.

Giants
Giants had a close series against KRÜ in the elimination match, where, thanks to nukkye and Fit1nho, the Europeans enjoyed a 2-0 victory, with the Chileans scoring double digits. This win should keep the morale a bit high in the roster, and since they have already faced EDG before, Giants are better prepared for this match.
