Both teams are currently the best in their region. EDward Gaming is the reigning world champion of VALORANT. On the other hand, G2 Esports is the only team that has qualified from Ascension to participate in VALORANT Masters Bangkok.
Until now, EDward Gaming has been undefeated in this tournament. This is majorly due to the core of nobody, Chichoo, and ZmjjKK. These three players have been crucial for EDG. ZmjjKK is their star duelist who is known for his incredible aim.
In the eyes of many, he is the best duelist in Asia. Chichoo is the primary smokes for the team who has been one of the best players in the tournament. Nobody has been the Tejo main for his team using his abilities to create space that his teammates can exploit.
Since the start of the tournament, G2 Esports was a team to keep an eye on. They have been the favourites to win the tournament as a whole. With players like Leaf and Valyn, the team has mastered controlled chaos.
For G2 esports to win, they must ensure they have all the strategies to counter the explosive nature of EDward Gaming. On the other hand, for EDward Gaming to win, they must keep their emotions in check. When things don’t go their way, they shouldn’t ego peak.

It will be tough to predict a winner out of these two teams during the VALORANT Masters Bangkok Playoffs. They have already faced off against each other in this tournament, which adds to the uncertainty. Looking at both teams, they have a star duelist and an incredible IGL.
If we look at Team Vitality, what went wrong during the match against G2 Esports was that Derke was quickly isolated. During the second map, G2 had a strategy to shut down Derke. Team Vitality must devise many new plans to ensure that T1 doesn’t counter them similarly.
T1 will need to remember to keep their composure in check. Against EDward Gaming, they were bound to win the third map, but they lost their composure when EDG leveled the scoreline.
For any team to win, they will need to make the most of play-tos and put an extra focus on not losing a player in the first 15 seconds of a round.
