Team Secret and Gen.G Esports will meet in the third round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League group stage. So far, both teams are undefeated, although it must be said that the South Koreans have played the clear underdogs.
Team Secret, on the other hand, continues to surprise, with two victories over their direct rivals. What's more, the Filipinos have so far coped with the pressure caused by the elevated The International heresy after the tournament in Brazil.
On the other hand, I wouldn't write off Gen.G Esports, which is also slowly finding itself. Here, however, I would look out for a Team Secret win.

The fourth team in the Asia-Pacific rankings managed to surprise in the recent VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they already crushed Team Liquid in the first round. However, the Philippine team lost to Natus Vincere and dropped out without a chance.
As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, here Team Secret managed to beat Talon Esports and Paper Rex. The other point is that time after time the boys have stumbled and given their opponents chances.

Gen.G Esports uniforms
The second team in the South Korean rankings played horribly in the off-season at the Gwangju Esports Series: Asia, where they lost to DRX and ZETA DIVISION without a chance.
Moreover, Gen.G Esports flopped at the big VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, as they expectedly Ledgehail LOUD back in the first round.

Forecast for the match Team Secret - Gen.G Esports
The South Korean team noticeably strengthened, as in the previous squad could not find the optimum balance of agents and skills of the players themselves. However, it must be said that the two victories at Long Song were over underdogs, so it's too early to draw any full-fledged conclusions.
Team Secret, on the other hand, does surprise, but the team is still far from their ideal form. And time after time the Filipinos lose situations, which can happen this time too.
Still, in this case, I'd recommend betting on Team Secret to win.
