Team Secret vs. Talon Esports Prediction on March 26, 2023

Match info

In the opening round of the regular season of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2023: Pacific League, Team Secret and Talon Esports will face off. Here things get interesting because both teams had a chance to make a big result in the most recent competition in Brazil. This particular duel will be played on Sunday, March 26, at 10:00 PM local time at the Sangam Colosseum in Seoul, Korea.

Meeting statistics

The Filipinos quickly disappeared from the tournament in Brazil, but Talon Esports advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to DRX in a highly competitive match. Moreover, Patiphan “Patiphan“ Chaiwong has the ability to significantly strengthen his team’s game in VCT 2023, which reduces Team Secret’s chances in the upcoming match. The Talon Esports triumph, which has very excellent odds in this league according to eSport bookmakers, is what we’d like to focus on here.

The current form of Team Secret

With a second-place finish at the Daejeon Valorant Invitational and a bronze medal at the Valorant India Invitational, the seventh-place team in the Asia-Pacific ranking had a conflicted offseason.

The Philippines managed to shut out Team Liquid in the most recent VCT 2023: LOCK/IN São Paulo, sparking the biggest sensation of the entire competition. Unfortunately, Team Secret ended the tournament by losing to Natus Vincere, returning to square one.

The latest results of Team Secret:

• Victory over Enigma Gaming with a score of 13-7.
• Victory over Team Heretics with a score of 13-6.
• Lost to Paper Rex with a score of 1-2.
• Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2-0
• Lost to Natus Vincere with a score of 0-2

Team Secret’s top card, Fracture, has a 100% winning percentage. The Filipino team typically gives up on the Ascent card.

The current form of Talon Esports

The second-placed team in the Gwangju Esports Series: Asia during the off-season, which was won by DRX, is the fourth team in the Asia-Pacific ranking at the moment.

The Thai squad began to astound with two victories over MIBR and Evil Geniuses in VCT 2023: LOCK/IN São Paulo. They were defeated by DRX once more in the quarterfinals, though, and packed their bags to return home.

Nonetheless, it must be acknowledged that Talon Esports have already demonstrated their value, and it will be even more fascinating now that Patiphan should be included in the lineup.

The latest results of Talon Esports:

• Victory over ZETA DIVISION with a score of 2-0.
• Lost to DRX with a score of 0-3.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2-0.
• Lost to DRX with a score of 1-2.

For Talon Esports, the Fracture card has a 100% winning rate. The Thai team, meanwhile, hasn’t yet competed on Lotus and Pearl.

Head-to-head encounters

The teams faced off twice during the previous season:

• At VCT 2022: APAC Stage 2 Challengers, there was a 2-1 victory for Team Secret.
• In the same event later on, Talon Esports won 2-1.

But back then, the lineups were a little different.

Match analytics

The Thai team has very high expectations, which are portrayed in its potential. In contrast, Team Secret traveled a short distance in Brazil, making it difficult to make a clear judgment. We recommend placing a wager on Talon Esports to win 2-0 for which Betway set odds of 2.65.
