We enter the penultimate week of the VCT 2023 EMEA League with the Giants Gaming vs Team Vitality matchup
This week will mark the third time the two teams go head-to-head. The record is currently equal, with one win from each team, and both matches took place in the 2021 VCT season. This time the stage is much bigger, and so are the stakes. To get more insights into the teams, follow this preview and prediction guide.
Giants Gaming
Giants Gaming share the 3-4 record in the league stage with two other teams. Thanks to the map differential, the Giants are placed ahead of those teams in the standings. However, the team’s off form is a matter of concern going into the final stages of the league. Following the two consecutive losses in the past weeks, Giants Gaming must get back into winning ways to ensure qualification.

Team Vitality
Similar to their upcoming opponent, Team Vitality have three wins and four losses six weeks into the event. Although, unlike the Giants, they have a terrible map differential that caused them to drop below the top 6. To secure a spot in the playoffs, the Vitality squad has to elevate their performance to a level comparable to their initial form at the beginning of the league stage.
