Valorant Champions Tour 2023: Game Changers Championship betting picks
Shopify Rebellion
On November 15, Version 1 was acquired by Shopify Rebellion. The merger resulted in the Version 1 team, alexis, florescent, meL, Noia, and sarah joining Shopify Rebellion. Version 1 was one of the stronger teams in 2023, winning Astral Clash 2023, the Game Changers North America Series 1 and Series 2, and finishing as the runner-up in Series 3. The Valorant Champions Tour 2023: Game Changers Championship marks the first event the team will play as Shopify Rebellion.
Playing out of America, Shopify Rebellion qualified as the No. 2 seed for this event. They face Chao Hui EDG in the opening game of the tournament.
The team has a good mix of veteran and young talent. They are the betting favorites to win the Grand Final.
BBL Queens
Competing out of Turkey on the European circuit, BBL Queens enter this event with some momentum after finishing the VCT 2023: Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 event in the top spot. They are the No. 1 qualifying team for this year’s VCT Game Changers Championship event.
BBL Queens are on a 10-match winning streak heading into this tournament, one of the teams they defeated during that run are the defending champs, G2 Gozen.
The 2023 VCT Game Changers Championship marks BBL Queens first time competing in an international event. That could result in the team having jitters early on. They face Team SMG in their opening matchup.
Team Liquid Brazil
Team Liquid Brazil looks to improve on their third-place finish at the 2022 VCT Game Changers Championship. In that event, the team defeated Shopify Rebellion in the upper bracket semifinals, but after getting knocked out of the upper bracket final by G2 Gozen, Team Liquid Brazil lost their rematch with Shopify in the Lower Bracket Final. For them to get a shot at Shopify in 2023 in the upper bracket, both teams must make it to the upper bracket final.
Team Liquid has played well in the Brazil series this year, winning VCT 2023: Game Changers Brazil Series 1 and Series 2. The team has a tough draw in the first round, facing G2 Gozen.
