Team Liquid vs EDward Gaming - Which team will qualify for the Playoffs in the AfreecaTV Valorant League?


Predictions

Team Liquid has had a lot of mixed performances in VCT 2023. While the team did well regionally during VCT EMEA League, they struggled to perform well on the international stage. To curb their performance, Team Liquid has gone in a new direction for VCT 2024 and changed a majority part of their roster by recruiting players from the team, Apeks.

EDward Gaming is one of the biggest surprises of VCT 2023. They put Chinese Valorant on the map after earning their first international win during VCT Masters Tokyo and had a phenomenal run to finish in fifth-sixth place. The team has not made any changes so far and is looking to continue with the same players for this event.

Predicting the winner of this matchup is difficult, as both teams have phenomenal players. However, EDward Gaming has a slightly better chance due to their team's groundbreaking recent performances. Team Liquid can certainly make things very difficult.
