Wolves Esports enter Stage 2 of VCT China following a third-place finish at VALORANT Masters Toronto, where they exceeded everyone's expectations and took down some of the world's best teams. Their next opponents, FunPlus Phoenix, have not only failed to qualify for Masters Toronto, but they managed just two wins in Stage 1.

Wolves are a couple of tiers above FunPlus Phoenix, and unless they blunder heavily, Wolves should be in an excellent spot to start VCT 2025 China Stage 2 with a win.

Wolves Esports Form

Wolves Esports should be viewed as serious VCT 2025 China Stage 2 title contenders.

Since placing last in VCT 2025 China Kickoff, Wolves have found a lot more success, with a third-place finish in Stage 1, second and fourth-place finishes at VALORANT China Evolution Series Act 1 and Series Act 2 x ACL, and a third-place finish at VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025.

Those results are nothing to sneeze at, and especially their run in Toronto is a good indication that Wolves Esports are one of the elite VALORANT teams.

FunPlus Phoenix Form

FunPlus Phoenix are one of the worst-performing teams of VCT China. They placed last in the VCT Kickoff event and were hardly more successful in Stage 1, with a ninth-10th-place finish and a 2-3 record.

Evidently, FPX were not equipped to compete for the VCT title in the first two events, and in a bid to fix that, they brought in a new player, BerLIN and coach LEGIJA.

The new coach is a solid addition and should help FunPlus Phoenix improve, but that does not take away from the fact that FPX lack the individual talent to compete with the region's top dogs.

FPX signed Chang "BerLIN" Polin and added a new coach, Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninić, ahead of Stage 2.

Verdict

Wolves Esports v FunPlus Phoenix

Much like the first match of the day, this is a David vs Goliath type fixture, between one of the region's strongest squads and weakest teams. The offered betting odds reflect it.

You could make a case that Wolves Esports are fatigued as they've not had a long break before Stage 2, but even then, it is hard to side with FunPlus Phoenix, who have shown nothing that would suggest they can compete against one of the leading VCT China title contenders.
