Prediction Paper Rex - Team Liquid
The group stage of Valorant Champions 2022 is coming to an end, there are only 4 matches left, and today we'll talk about the first of them. Representatives of the Asia-Pacific region, Paper Rex, will face the Europeans from Team Liquid, as part of the last match of group A. Previously, the teams did not hold face-to-face meetings, and today they will have to identify the strongest and play a slot in the playoffs of the World Championship. Format, as before bo3.
Form Team Liquid
The Liquids have shown a very mixed performance from the start of the group stage. The European team played the first match against the Chileans from Leviatan, and being the favorite, managed to lose without a hitch. Despite the fact that both maps are in the list of the strongest horses, they were not destined to earn a victory: Haven (10-13), Ascent (10-13).
The team played the second match against the representatives of China - EDward Gaming, and the situation here was fundamentally different. Being the outsiders of the match, the “Horses” almost without any problems destroyed the opponents on the first map of Bind (13-5), and with difficulty snatched the victory thanks to additional rounds on the second map of Breeze (14-12). The map situation in the second match is quite understandable, Bind is on the list of the strongest maps, although players feel worse on it than on the rest. At Breeze, the team played only 19 matches, which is why there were difficulties.

Paper Rex Shape
Representatives of Singapore played their first match at the tournament against the Chinese from EDward Gaming, and being the favorites, they confirmed their title. Although the victory was given to them not without complications, having hardly defeated the rivals on Pearl (13-10), the team gave Icebox (5-13) easy. On the last map of Haven (13-8), the team also experienced some difficulties. The situation on the maps here is interesting, if Pearl is little studied, and of course it has the most difficulties, then the Singaporeans feel great on Icebox (75% in 60 matches), so such a sharp loss looks extremely strange.
The second match was against Leviatan, and here the Chinese players could not oppose the Chileans Haven (8-13) and Bind (11-13). Despite the fact that she feels great on both Paper Rex maps, they failed to win, which suggests that the opponents were stronger both in team play and in personal skill.

Match prediction
The meeting promises to be very interesting, both teams showed a good performance within the group, and both deserved to get into the playoffs. I was wrong twice about the Liquids, but I still don't like them too much, so now I'll risk suggesting a victory for the Singaporeans.
Result: Paper Rex wins
