Nongshim RedForce (defending Masters champions) face G2 Esports in the opening round of VALORANT EWC 2026 Group C. Both squads have had strong seasons, but G2 faltered at Masters London, raising doubts. RedForce, despite a dip mid-season, rebounded in qualifiers. Their recent head-to-head favors RedForce. Punters should note the recent form and watch the stream through EWC platforms or bookmakers like Stake. Ultimately, this match could go either way, making it a must-watch and a challenging bet.

Nongshim RedForce vs G2 Esports Betting Predictions


Nongshim RedForce and G2 Esports will cross swords on Friday, July 3, in the first round of Group C at the VALORANT Esports World Cup 2026.

Both teams enter EWC as live dark horses to make a run for the trophy, having both shown good things throughout the season.

The spotlight will be on G2 Esports, however, as they have to improve the impression they’ve left in Masters London, but even winning their first game of the group stage will not be an easy task.

Nongshim RedForce did not play in London, but this core won the Masters Santiago which is a very good indication of how high they can fly. EWC is RedForce’s chance to get back on the horse.

Nongshim RedForce Chase Second Masters Title


Nongshim RedForce had an explosive start to the 2026 season. They won VCT China Kickoff and Masters Santiago and quickly emerged as the world’s best VALORANT team. However, it’s been downhill for them ever since.

In Stage 1, RedForce slowed down significantly and finished VCT Pacific Stage 1 in seventh-eighth place after barely making it through Group Alpha and losing their only playoff game against DRX.

They then found more success in the Pacific EWC qualifiers, where RedForce defeated DRX and Gen.G Esports to qualify as the third seed. And while it shows some improvement, RedForce still have a lot more to prove.

G2 Esports Need to Bounce Back


G2 Esports were regarded as one of the world’s strongest VALORANT teams early into the season, and they lived up to the hype, with a silver medal from Americas Kickoff, a fourth-place finish in Masters Santiago, and a gold medal from VCT Americas Stage 1.

However, G2 failed to show up last month, when they exited Masters London in seventh-eighth place with two bad losses against XLG Esports and FUT Esports.

The slip-up has put a big question mark above G2 Esports and their quality ahead of EWC; however, looking at this roster, G2 are hard to doubt.

Verdict

G2 Esports have been very successful this season, but the same can be said about Nongshim RedForce. Admittedly, RedForce’s iffy display in Stage 1 has knocked them down in the power rankings, but they seem to have picked themselves up with a stronger showing in the EWC qualifiers.

G2 Esports remain a dangerous opponent, having dominated VCT Americas. However, their performance at Masters London has left much to be desired, making it harder to trust G2 to take down Nongshim RedForce with ease.
