Bilibili Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix will meet in the final of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier. In this case, there is a battle for seeding, as both teams made it to the VALORANT Champions 2023.
However, we must admit that Bilibili Gaming managed to be remembered for a good game at this championship, if you turn a blind eye to the gutless defeat by EDward Gaming.
However, other teams suffered from this, while FunPlus Phoenix still looks like a contender for elimination, given the instability. Therefore, I would opt for a win for Bilibili Gaming here.
Bilibili Gaming's form
The third team in the Chinese rankings failed in the qualifying for FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 1, but at the same time took the second place at the end of FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 2.
On the other hand, the Chinese team confidently made it to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier, where they defeated Monarch Effect and Trace Esports to earn a trip to Los Angeles.
However, Bilibili Gaming expectedly lost to EDward Gaming in the final of the top set, and again did not compete with the strongest representative of its region.

Prediction for the match Bilibili Gaming - FunPlus Phoenix
Last time the teams played on the Pearl and Ascent maps. I wouldn't say that the game was close, but FunPlus Phoenix was able to give trouble to the opponent.
However, since then, Bilibili Gaming has clearly worked on themselves, and now the team looks quite competitive. Moreover, FunPlus Phoenix fulfilled their goal with a modest performance.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of Bilibili Gaming team.
