The Valorant EMEA playoffs begin in the Quarter Finals as FUT takes on the Giants Team. The winner will advance into the semi-finals against FNATIC while the loser goes to the LB QF.
The last few matches of the Valorant EMEA League were quite entertaining and unexpected. Especially the Team Liquid match against KOI. However, that does not matter as we now have the Top 6 teams for playoffs. They are FNATIC, NAVI, Team Liquid, FUT, Giants, and Team Vitality.
Out of these six teams, the finishing four will qualify for Masters Tokyo. That means the winners of the Semi-Finals in the Upper and Lower Brackets are guaranteed Masters. The first match we have is FUT vs Giants, let us break it down.

Both teams have looked more or less consistent throughout the league, winning and losing some to other stronger teams above them. However, this will be a really important match to win. They have a cushion due to the lower bracket format but it is better not to risk it.
That being said, there are multiple things we need to go through for this match-up including the head-to-head which reveals some interesting facts about these teams.
Predictions
The Giants team has won three out of their last five matches in the league while FUT has won two. Based on the momentum of the Giants and their team compositions, we predict they are going to win this match-up. But it will be a hard time since FUT is no pushover. The result we expect is a 2-1.
Head-To-Head
These teams have faced off against each other twice in the history of Valorant and both times, the Giants have had an upper hand. The Giants won both matches, one in the League itself and the other in Red Bull Home Ground. All odds will be against FUT coming into the QF as they look to get revenge on the Giants’ team.
