T1 vs. Global Esports Prediction on March 25, 2023

Match info

In the opening round of the Pacific League of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2023 regular season, T1 and Global Esports will face off. Due to the lack of a clear favorite as per eSport betting sites, this is an intriguing contest, which will start on Saturday, March 25, at 9:00 PM local time at the Sangam Colosseum in Seoul, Korea.

Meeting statistics

Neither of these teams performed at all in Brazil at the beginning of the new season, failing to advance. Also, even if they took away one card, Global Esports couldn’t take down Team Vitality, whilst T1 was competing against the local team and local spectators. Overall, two equally strong teams are up against each other and will likely force the series to go three maps. Choosing the lesser of two evils is challenging, to put it another way.

The current form of T1

The Ludwig x Tarik Invitational was attended by the 12th-ranked South Korean squad during the off-season. But, T1 lost twice to their North American competitors and returned home disheartened.

They visited VCT 2023: LOCK/IN São Paulo in February, where they once again failed. As a result of their weak performance, T1 was defeated by FURIA in the first round. Truthfully, we didn’t hold out much hope for the game to get any better for the Koreans. Yet, T1 can manage to produce a good result now that the lineup has recently changed, at least a temporary one.

The latest results of T1:

• Lost to The Guard with a score of 1-2.
• Lost to TSM with a score of 0-2.
• Lost to FURIA with a score of 0-2.

Pearl is the best T1 map with 50% of the wins. It’s important to note that there’s no chance that the Korean team will be appearing on the Ascent map.

The current form of Global Esports

During the off-season, the Indian team made significant changes to its starting lineup in an effort to find the ideal one. With this format, Global Esports had enough time to test themselves by participating in AMD’s Skyesports SEA Championship and Galaxy Racer’s Valorant India Invitational, but results were nowhere to be found.

With regard to the latter, Team Vitality defeated them at VCT 2023: LOCK/IN São Paulo as Global Esports, as Global Esports struggled to escape the quick playing style of their rivals despite taking the first map.

The latest results of Global Esports:

• Victory over BOOM Esports with a score of 13-6.
• Lost to Bleed eSports with a score of 0-2.
• Victory over Velocity Gaming with a score of 2-1.
• Lost to Made in Thailand with a score of 0-2.
• Lost to Team Vitality with a score of 1-2.

Pearl has a 75% win rate for Global Esports. Just as is the case with T1, the Ascent card is also given up by Indians.

Match analytics

Because it’s hard to make assumptions from a single game, it’s worthwhile to look at the selection of cards here. The teams do complement one another, though, as they don’t really represent much of a threat to the league’s top teams. As a result, in this scenario, we advise placing a wager on Total Cards Over 2.5 on Betway at odds of 1.90.
