GIANTX vs Team Liquid Predictions


GIANTX vs Team Liquid will meet on Thursday, January 30, in the second round of the lower bracket at the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2025: EMEA Kickoff. It’ll mark their first clash of the season and an important one, as the loser will get eliminated from the tournament.

This should be an entertaining affair between GIANTX, who have proven to be a competitive team, and Team Liquid, who have looked very rough and have not shown much that would inspire confidence.

Going in their favour is that GIANTX are not the most consistent team, which could open up an opportunity for Team Liquid to do some damage, but even that is a considerable what-if and an unlikely outcome.

  • GIANTX have looked solid so far
  • Team Liquid are in shaky form
  • GIANTX should win

Head to Head


Team Liquid and GIANTX have yet to meet this season.

GIANTX vs Team Liquid Form


GIANTX enter this match off a huge victory against Karmine Corp (2-1), who they beat after a tough loss against the surging BBL Esports (1-2) in the opening round of VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff.

Karmine Corp did not perform well on that day, which made it easier for GIANTX to look better; however, that does not take away from the fact that GIANTX played well – both against KC and BBL Esports.

GIANTX Squad & Team News


No roster changes for GIANTX.

  • Kirill "Cloud" Nekhozhin
  • Semyon "purp0" Borchev
  • Emil "runneR" Trajkovski
  • Tomás "tomaszy" Machado
  • Miłosz "westside" Duda

Team Liquid Form


Team Liquid started the 2025 VALORANT season with a close 2-1 victory against KOI, but they proved no match for FUT Esports, who bested them 2-0 in the upper bracket quarterfinals. It was a very one-sided game, with FUT picking up Pearl with 13-7 and Fracture with 13-6.

FUT Esports are one of the league’s top teams, so Liquid deserve some slack for that loss. However, it is more than fair to say that Team Liquid have so far not performed well and are rightly billed as outsiders for this match.

Even their win against Apeks was not too convincing, and if Liquid failed to dominate the weakest team in the league, they should not be expected to do any better against GIANTX.

Team Liquid Squad & Team News


Team Liquid have not made any roster changes.

  • Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin
  • Georgio "Keiko" Sanassy
  • Kamil "kamo" Frąckowiak
  • Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski
  • Patryk "paTiTek" Fabrowski

Verdict

Neither of these two teams are expected to compete for the VCT trophy, yet there is still a noticeable gap between the two. Admittedly, they’ve not played many games this season, but it is hard to feel optimistic about Team Liquid following their performances against KOI, Apeks, and FUT Esports.

GIANTX, on the other side, lost a close game against another competitive team, BBL Esports, and they looked great in their win against Karmine Corp. Based on what the two squads have shown, GIANTX are a clear choice.
