FUT Esports and Evil Geniuses will meet in the first round of the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo. It will be interesting to watch the North Americans in such conditions, as they produced a surprise result in the regional league play-offs.
However, the Turkish team also surprised, who unexpectedly found the strength to beat Team Vitality and Natus Vincere and at the same time take the third place.
On the other hand, I don't have much hope for Evil Geniuses, because the team can hardly compete with Europe in terms of potential. Therefore, I would lean on FUT Esports to win here.

The fourth team in the European rankings had nothing to show for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, from where they went home after losing their second match.
To be fair, the Turkish squad also failed to impress in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, where they picked up five wins but also lost to all their opponents.
However, in the play-offs FUT Esports suddenly woke up to score three wins and take the final third place, narrowly missing out on a real sensation.

Prediction for the match FUT Esports - Evil Geniuses
The North American side's rise in the Americas League play-offs was unexpected in and of itself, but Evil Geniuses very quickly got back to where they came from.
On the other hand, FUT Esports also had its share of surprises, with a couple of unexpected victories in the league play-offs. And on stage the Turkish team has at times looked very good at The International.
In general, there are more questions about Evil Geniuses, while the Turks have much more experience. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on FUT Esports to win.
