Team Secret and Gen.G Esports will face off in the quarter-finals of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League bottom-feed, where they will compete for the right to not be knocked out of the tournament.
Understandably, the teams played each other during the regular season, with Gen.G Esports then winning unexpectedly. Since then, however, the South Koreans have lost enough matches, ѕtuding worse and worse.
As for the Filipinos, the team has been gradually gaining momentum, but they play particularly well in the play-offs. So here I would lean on Team Secret to win.
Team Secret's form
The ninth-ranked team in the Asia-Pacific standings looked great in the Long Stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League group stage, but then it broke down.
In the end, Team Secret barely made it to the play-offs, and only thanks to victories over DRX and Global Esports in the final rounds. On the other hand, the team's play looked very difficult.
However, in the play-offs the Filipino team played much better. Here, the boys have already marked a victory over ZETA DIVISION and also strained DRX, although they lost.
The latest Team Secret results:
- A 0-2 loss to T1.
- 2-0 win over DRX.
- Defeated Global Esports 2-0.
- Beat ZETA DIVISION 2-0.
- A 1-2 defeat to DRX.
Team Secret's best wins:
- Ascent - 100% wins.
- Haven - 71% wins.
- Lotus - 67% wins.
- Fracture - 60% wins.
It is worth recalling that the Philippine team has consistently given up on Pearl maps.
Gen.G Esports uniforms
The fifth team in the South Korean rankings came through strongly in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League regular season, picking up four straight wins.
However, Gen.G Esports slumped further to suffer five straight defeats. They narrowly escaped defeat, making it to the playoffs.
But in the quarterfinals, the South Korean team still couldn't cope with T1, although they did manage to snatch the card from the favourite. So it's logical to think that Gen.G Esports will lose again.
Gen.G Esports latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to Global Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Talon Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Paper Rex.
- 1-2 defeat to ZETA DIVISION.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of T1.
Top scores for Gen.G Esports:
- Ascent - 75% wins.
- Haven - 50% wins.
In turn, the South Korean team has not yet been featured on the Bind map.
Team Secret - Gen.G Esports match statistics
In the current season, the teams played one meeting - in the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League victory went to Gen.G Esports (2-0).
Team Secret vs Gen.G Esports
At the beginning of April, the teams played Haven and Fracture. You can not say that the game was equal, but since then the balance of power has changed markedly, and not in favor of Gen.G Esports.
Moreover, the Philippine team surprises in the play-offs, showing a good game. Yes, somewhere Team Secret bounces back, but the team as a whole plays better than in the group.
So in this case I would recommend to bet on Team Secret to win.
