Bleed eSports and BOOM Esports will meet in the second semi-final of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. For now, the Singapore team can be considered the main favourite for the championship, even despite suffering one defeat in the group stage.
BOOM Esports, on the other hand, were far from convincing in their group stage where they suffered two defeats. However, in the quarterfinals, the Indonesian team also marked a victory over Bonkers, showing their desire to stay in the game.
Still, for me personally, Bleed eSports remains a team that is really worthy to fight for a place in the league. So here I would lean on the Bleed eSports team to win.

The second team in the Asia-Pacific rankings back in 2022 won the Penta Pro Series, but at the same time failed at the AfreecaTV SEA Invitational.
However, the Singapore-based side won both the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Malaysia & Singapore split, where they played brilliantly against their neighbours.
As for their performance in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific, Bleed eSports beat Orangutan, SCARZ and Bonkers but also stumbled with a surprise defeat by Dplus.

The sixth Asian Pacific team won the last VALORANT Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 2, thereby qualifying for the current Ascent.
On the other hand, BOOM Esports did not play their best in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific as they even managed to suffer defeats to ONE Team and NAOS Esports.
Nevertheless, the Indonesian team handled Bonkers almost seamlessly in the quarterfinals to advance to the next round. However, it's hard to call BOOM Esports the exemplary favourite for the tournament so far.
BOOM Esports' latest results:
- A 1-2 loss to ONE Team.
- A 2-0 win over Fancy United.
- 1-2 defeat of NAOS Esports.
- 2-1 win over XERXIA.

In turn, the Indonesian team has so far given up on Fracture.
Bleed eSports - BOOM Esports match statistics
Within the last season, the teams have played three meetings:
- Bleed eSports' 13-9 win at the Valorant India Invitational.
- A 2-0 win for Bleed eSports at the Penta Pro Series.
- A 3-2 victory for Bleed eSports in the Penta Pro Series.
However, enough time has passed since then.
Bleed eSports - BOOM Esports match prediction
I will stick with my opinion and continue to regard Bleed eSports as the favorite of the championship. Yes, the Indonesian team is not that bad, but looks even more unstable than the opponent.
In general, the bare numbers and statistics speak in favor of the guys from Singapore. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Bleed eSports to win.
