Team RA'AD and S2G Esports will meet in the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: EMEA Play-In. This is the first match, of which the teams will have two.
To be fair, the Egyptian squad surprised in the group where they even marked a victory over FOKUS. On the other hand, Team RA'AD denied themselves a direct ticket to the play-offs, losing to an outsider.
As for the Turkish squad, they obviously lacked experience in BO1, although they looked good against GTZ Esports. And yet here I would rely on the victory of S2G Esports, which is an order of magnitude more experienced.

The twelfth team in the European rankings almost without a chance won VALORANT Challengers 2023 Turkey: Birlik Split 1, where it showed the expectedly strong game.
However, the Turkish team finished only second at the end of VALORANT Challengers 2023 Turkey: Birlik Split 2, which was a bit of a setback considering the selected squad.

Forecast for the match Team RA'AD - S2G Esports
I do not think that the Egyptian team will be able to shoot here, because in the group all looked not the best. And in essence Team RA'AD is far behind their opponent.
As for S2G Esports, in terms of experience the team cannot be criticized. Yes, the Turks are not the most stable guys. But at this stage, the guys must show themselves.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the team S2G Esports.
