TYLOO vs. FunPlus Phoenix Prediction on July 14, 2023

Match info

The VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier’s Lower Bracket semifinal between TYLOO and FunPlus Phoenix will determine who advances and qualifies for the VALORANT Champions 2023. The meeting will commence at Shanghai 1862 Fashion Art Center on Friday, July 14, at 5 p.m. local time.

Meeting statistics

It should be recalled that TYLOO defeated FunPlus Phoenix in the championship’s Long Stage. But since then, the adversary has accelerated the tempo as well, sensing an opportunity.

Nevertheless, we still think that TYLOO is a little too “unequipped“ for such a big level. We can tell that their opponent has much more regalia, especially based on its lineup and expertise. Thus, we’d bet on FunPlus Phoenix to win in this case, which is something that comes out from the odds of practically any bookmaker for eSports.

The current form of TYLOO

The recent VALORANT Spring Gauntlet Invitational 2023 was won by the third-ranked Chinese team, who defeated every opponent it faced without dropping a single game.

The VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Preliminaries Qualifier, which qualified TYLOO for the China Qualifier, was won by them afterward. TYLOO managed to defeat NTER, FunPlus Phoenix, and Attacking Soul Esports during their participation in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier, but they also unanticipatedly lost to EDward Gaming. On Bind, TYLOO achieve their highest score: 83% victories. It’s important to note that they don’t typically show up on the Fracture map.

The current form of FunPlus Phoenix

The “deadly“ Karmine Corp defeated the fourth-ranked Chinese team in the opening round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, so it was eliminated.

After that, FunPlus X crashed at both the FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 1 and FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 2, where they failed to perform at their peak level and came in fourth in both competitions.

FunPlus Phoenix set off competing in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier by falling to TYLOO on the Long Stage but then defeated Team Weibo and Trace Esports in the Lower Bracket. Ascent is the FunPlus X’s map with the highest win percentage (88%). They avoid going onto the Haven map.

Head-to-head encounters

This season’s only meeting between the teams resulted in a TYLOO victory of 2-0 in the Upper Bracket quarterfinal of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier.

Match analytics

When the teams last met, they played the Fracture and Bind maps. We wouldn’t argue that TYLOO had an easy victory. FunPlus Phoenix started to feel a little better in the bottom set.

Overall, there’s some chance for FunPlus X to take revenge on TYLOO, as in the most recent game, TYLOO barely defeated Attacking Soul Esports. Therefore, in this scenario, we advise placing a wager on FunPlus Phoenix to win. Check out Luckbox for the match odds.
