The Union and FUSION will meet in the semi-finals of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Americas. The Colombians surprised in a big way the previous day as they managed to take out 00NATION.
But it is unlikely that FUSION can pull off a similar stunt today as the Brazilian team has already proven their mettle in this championship and has already crushed an opponent in the group.
All in all, it's all in favour of The Union who, compared to FUSION, are a really strong team. So I'd be inclined to give The Union a run for their money here.
The Union's form
The second team in the Brazilian rankings won the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Brazil Split 1 with only two defeats along the way.
On top of that, The Union also won VALORANT Challengers 2023: Brazil Split 2, going undefeated and advancing to Ascension.
Already in the group stage of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Americas, the Brazilian squad confidently took on M80 Esports and FUSION to advance to the semifinals.

Top scores for The Union:

It's worth noting that the Brazilian squad tries not to appear on the Haven map.
FUSION uniforms
The first team in the Latin American rankings had a mixed season, but recently won the second split of VALORANT Challengers 2023: Latin America North.
FUSION, on the other hand, failed in the group stage of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Americas, here a resounding loss to M80 Esports and The Union.
However, the Colombian squad decided to pull off a miracle the day before as they defeated 00NATION in the quarterfinals, and did so in a resounding and confident manner.
The latest FUSION results:
- A 3-1 victory over Six Karma.
- 0-3 defeat at the hands of 9z.

- Lotus - 86% wins.
- Haven - 71% wins.
- Fracture - 64% wins.
- Ascent - 63% wins.
- Split - 50% wins.
In turn, the Colombian team has most often given up Bind.
The Union - FUSION encounter statistics
In the current season, the teams have met once - in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Americas victory went to The Union (2-0).
The Union vs FUSION
A couple of days ago, the teams played Pearl and Fracture, where there was no fight at all. And despite yesterday's miracle from the Colombians, you still can't believe in them.
Moreover, as it stands, The Union could fight for a slot in the league, although it remains to be seen when they play the North Americans. Still, FUSION shouldn't stand a chance here.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a 2-0 win for The Union.
