NAOS Esports and BOOM Esports will meet on day five of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific group stage. The Filipinos are still top of the group but have only played one match so far.
BOOM Esports on the other hand managed to play two matches but also suffered one defeat. On the other hand, they still look like the favourites, but so far they've been unstable.
In general, the game between the two leaders in the group should be an interesting event. And in terms of their abilities the teams are roughly similar, so it's logical to expect a fight. So here I would rely on three points.

Forecast for the match NAOS Esports - BOOM Esports
Here even The International it is interesting to look at the odds, which are leaning more in favour of BOOM Esports. However, the Indonesian team is far from being the most stable team, as the odds show.
In turn, NAOS Esports, though played only one match, but with the same Fancy United coped. In general, each team has its pluses and minuses, but in general the game should be equal.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total 2.5 over.
