Predictions

G2 Esports has been giving excellent performances ever since the start of Stage 1. They have managed to get a minimum top-three finish at every single event. G2 Esports was widely regarded as a favorite at Valorant Champions 2024 after securing some flawless wins against strong teams like Paper Rex and EDward Gaming. However, the team had a difficult time keeping up with their regional rival, Leviatán, in the Playoffs.

Fnatic has been struggling throughout the 2024 season. The team came into Valorant Champions 2024 as the number one seed from EMEA but ended up suffering a tough loss against DRX. However, they were able to pick themselves back up and managed to make it to the Playoffs convincingly. Unfortunately, their run is off to a bad start at this stage as they have already lost footing against the regional squad of Team Heretics.

This match of G2 Esports vs Fnatic heavily favors the former due to their consistent performance throughout the season. However, Fnatic does have the potential to make this a very close series.
