BOOM Esports Will win

BOOM Esports and Fancy United will meet in the third game day of the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. I don't think there will be much of a fight here, as the Indonesians are far more interesting than their opponent.

There's also Fancy United Long Soppeg at the championship, losing to NAOS Esports. And judging from that match, the Vietnamese squad is a bit short on ideas.

In general, I personally do not see the point of believing in The International riga, as Fancy United so far acts as a point scorer for the more assembled squads. So here I would lean on the BOOM Esports team to win.

The sixth-ranked Asian Pacific team looked good at the AfreecaTV SEA Invitational last year, and also finished second in the Penta Pro Series.

However, the Indonesian side also finished second at the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 1 with a defeat at the hands of Bigetron Arctic in the final.

BOOM Esports has most recently however won VALORANT Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 2 to qualify for Ascension.

BOOM Esports' latest results:

A 2-0 win over Bigetron Arctic.
A 2-0 win over Alter Ego.
A 0-2 loss to Dominatus.
3-0 win over Alter Ego.
3-1 win over Dominatus.

BOOM Esports top scores:

Bind - 100% wins.
Lotus - 100% wins.
Pearl - 75% wins.
Fracture - 67% wins.
Ascent - 67% wins.
Split - 63% wins.

It's worth recalling that the Indonesian team usually forgoes Bind.

Fancy United uniforms

The fifth team in the Asia-Pacific standings had a solid showing at the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Vietnam Split 1, during which they did not lose a single match and predictably won the championship.

The Vietnamese side also recently won the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Vietnam Split 2, although this time the difference was not as significant.

As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific, here Fancy United were unable to cope with NAOS Esports, showing some shortcomings in their selection.

Fancy United's latest results:

A 2-0 win over LAZY.
A 2-0 win over Team Big BAAM.
2-0 win over LAZY.
Beat LAZY 3-2.
1-2 defeat to NAOS Esports.

Fancy United's best:

Fracture - 100% wins.
Lotus - 100% wins.
Haven - 92% wins.

In turn, the Vietnamese team does not appear on the Lotus card.

Outlook for the match BOOM Esports - Fancy United

Looking back at the Long Songpeg meeting Fancy United, the Vietnamese team will clearly be hanging out at the tail end and absolutely will not play-offs.

What's more, BOOM Esports will basically come to the championship as a contender to win, otherwise with such a squad it's hard to expect a different result.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on BOOM Esports to win.
