Total Over 2.5

T1 and Global Esports will meet in the first round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 regular season: Pacific League. An interesting matchup as there is no clear favourite.

And both teams failed at the start of the new season, not showing at all in Brazil. And if T1 was swimming against the local stands, the Global Esports couldn't handle Team Vitality, although they took away one card.

All in all, we are facing two equal teams that deserve to stretch the series to three maps. In other words, it's hard to choose the lesser of two evils.

Form T1

The twelfth ranked team in South Korea managed to attend the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational back in the off-season. But there T1 suffered two defeats at the hands of their North American rivals, and went home in disappointment.

In February, the team came to VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they failed again. As a result, the South Koreans lost already in the first round to FURIA with a toothless performance.

To be honest, there was no hope of improvement from the game. But after the recent changes in the line-up, T1 can squeeze out a result, at least an interim one.

Recent T1 results:

A 1-2 defeat to The Guard.
A 0-2 defeat to TSM.
A 0-2 defeat to FURIA.

Best T1 maps:

Pearl - 50% wins.

It's worth noting that the South Korean squad is in no danger of showing on the Ascent map.

Global Esports uniforms

The Asian team seriously updated their lineup in the off-season, trying to find the optimal combination. In this form Global Esports had time to appear in the Skyesports SEA Championship Presented by AMD and Valorant India Invitational by Galaxy Racer, but nowhere did not show results.

Of the latter, the team has been to VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they were defeated by Team Vitality. In places, though, the guys played first number one, but against a fast style they failed to pull out.

Global Esports latest results:

A 13-6 win over BOOM Esports.
A 0-2 loss to Bleed eSports.
A 2-1 win over Velocity Gaming.
0-2 defeat for Made in Thailand.
Defeat to Team Vitality 1-2.

Global Esports top cards:

Pearl - 75% wins.
Haven - 71% wins.

Interestingly, the Global Esports team also gives up the Ascent card.

Forecast for the match T1 - Global Esports

It is interesting to look at the choice of cards here, as it is difficult to judge from one game. However, the teams are worth each other as they do not actually pose much competition to the league leaders. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on Cards 2.5 more.
