Team Queso and Enterprise Esports will play in the first round of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: EMEA Play-In group stage. I think it's clear that the Spaniards should be able to claim victory with their line-up.
Moreover, Team Queso seems to be the odds-on favorite for this Play-In, as with such players it should be a shame to be in such company at all.
As for Enterprise Esports, the Czechs are in a really bad way, because they could barely find a stand-in for this championship, and that out of despair. So here I would lean on Team Queso to win.
Team Queso uniforms
The nineteenth-ranked team in Europe finished only second in the VALORANT Challengers 2023 Spain: Rising Split 1 where they lost to Case Esports in the Grand Final.
As a result, the Spanish team considered not taking any major action and stayed the same.
As a result, Team Queso came in second again at the VALORANT Challengers 2023 Spain: Rising Split 2, once again Ledge and Case Esports, though this time there was a bit more competition.
Latest results from Team Queso:
- A 3-13 defeat to UCAM Esports Club.
- A 13-8 win over the Falcons.
- A 3-0 win over KPI Gaming.
- 3-0 win over UCAM Esports Club.
- 2-3 defeat by Case Esports.
Top scores for Team Queso:
- Haven - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 86% wins.
- Split - 80% wins.
- Ascent - 56% wins.
It should be noted that the Spanish team usually gives up Bind and Lotus maps.
Enterprise Esports uniforms
The Czech team was formed last year, but didn't show any results and didn't take part in any important tournaments.
At the Long Stage of the new season, Enterprise Esports came in second place at the VALORANT Challengers 2023 East: Surge Split 1 and expectedly left Acend behind.
Once again, Enterprise Esports was unable to defeat Acend in the VALORANT Challengers 2023 East: Surge Split 2 and missed out on a direct ticket to Ascension.
Enterprise Esports latest results:
- A 2-1 win over Zero Tenacity.
- A 1-2 loss to Acend.
- A 2-0 win over Anonymo Esports.
- Beat Diamant Esports 3-2.
- 0-3 defeat to Acend.
Top scores for Enterprise Esports:
- Fracture - 100% wins.
- Ascent - 63% wins.
- Lotus - 60% wins.
- Split - 60% wins.
- Pearl - 50% wins.
- Bind - 50% wins.
- Haven - 50% wins.
In turn, the Czech team rarely plays the Fracture card.

Forecast on the match Team Queso - Enterprise Esports
I do not think that with all the ensuing problems Enterprise Esports will be able to surprise. Especially since Team Queso ate the dog in BO1, and by the standards of their subregion is considered a leader.
As for the Czech team, the success of the guys made it here at all. But, given the difficulties with the line-up and internal disagreements, one should not expect a sensation here.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Team Queso to win.
