Match Prediction: Talon Esports - T1 | VALORANT
VCT 2023: Pacific LeagueTalon Esports and T1 will play in the second round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League group stage. While the Thai team lost at the start of the championship, T1 managed a victory, but that was over an outsider.
Here, on the other hand, we should expect an even game, as the teams are similar in their essence. It's hard to say anything else, as we are at the very beginning of the road.
So in this case, I would take a closer look at the three cards, as Talon Esports and T1 have both advantages and disadvantages that the teams will appeal to each other.

Talon Esports - T1 match-up forecast
An interesting encounter, as the South Korean team skates well on Lotus and Pearl, where the opponent does not show at all. For their part, Talon Esports have a bit more team experience, but the guys have stalled at the start of the championship. Thus, there is some intrigue here that could translate into a full-blown BO3. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on Cards 2.5 more.
