Everything you need to know about the EDward Gaming vs Team Heretics Valorant Champions 2024 Grand Final
Prediction
Considering both EDG and TH like to ban Ascent, it will be interesting to see how the map pool for today's game pans out. As a wildcard move, the Chinese squad could ban Abyss and Sunset since both are extremely strong maps for their opponents.
EDward Gaming has been more consistent in this tournament, while Team Heretics has seen more success throughout the season. If EDG can throw their opponents a curveball with their map pool selection, they have a high chance of coming out on top.
Key players to note during the Valorant Champions 2024 Grand Final are Kangkang, CHICHOO, and Smoggy on the EDG side, and MiniBoo, Wo0t, and benjyfishy on the Heretics side.
