G2 Esports vs. T1 Prediction on May 23, 2024

Match info

VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai will soon take place in the Chinese largest city. Now that the first stages of all four regional leagues have concluded, we move on to the waiting area for the upcoming VALORANT international. Twelve teams are waiting for their chance at glory, for a chance to shine as global standouts and maybe achieve their greatest goals. Among these are G2 Esports and T1 who’ll face off Thursday, May 23, at 4 p.m. local time at Valo Arena in the match valid for the first round of Swiss Stage.

Meeting statistics

Well, it’s difficult to predict this match-up. G2 Esports enter VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai in a dubious manner. The German side who moved to the United States was completely outclassed by 100 Thieves in the Grand Finals of Americas Stage 1, losing to the same opponent twice in a span of two days. Previously, G2 were barely able to close out against Leviatán in one of the shoddiest games of the tournament. They did, however, demonstrate their talent and fundamentals throughout Stage 1, giving some hope that this roster may still be viable.

T1 are entering this global competition in the most competitive form we’ve seen this organization in. There’s a case to be made that the team from the Korean region has a chance to do well after defeating Gen.G, the runners-up from Madrid, to advance. But their less impressive rematch in the finals against Gen.G does indicate that the T1 roster is still inexperienced. G2 are therefore expected to prevail in this series.

Currently ranked number #33 in the Valorant World Rankings, G2 Esports have won three of their previous five games, while T1 have won three of their last five games and is currently ranked number #44. This is the first time that these two are up against one another.
