Match Prediction: Dplus - Orangutan | VALORANT

Dplus Will win

Dplus and Orangutan will meet in the final game of the fourth matchday of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific group stage.

It remains to be seen how the South Koreans will start the championship, but Orangutan have already suffered a loss to Bleed eSports, although the game was close. Dplus, on the other hand, have no questions for now, as the team is trivially The International hereser by name.

All in all, I wouldn't reinvent the wheel, although I concede that the Indian team will want to compete and could even take one card. Still, I would lean on Team Dplus to win here.

Dplus form

The second team from South Korea managed to win TEN 2022 FPS SPECIAL at the end of the last calendar year, but that result is rather purely for a tick and mark in their notebook.

However, the South Korean side did quite well at the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Korea Split 1 and despite the problems, they won the championship.

Furthermore, Dplus were also champions of VALORANT Challengers 2023: Korea Split 2, again facing some difficulties but still managed to take the title away from their rivals in this year's Ascension.

The latest results from Dplus:

A 2-0 win over Nongshim RedForce.
A 2-1 win over On Sla2ers.
Defeated Shadow Corporation 2-0.
Beat Maru Gaming 2-0.
3-1 win over SLT.

Dplus's best scores:

Haven - 83% wins.
Lotus - 80% wins.
Pearl - 75% wins.
Ascent - 75% wins.
Fracture - 70% wins.
Split - 60% wins.

It's worth remembering that the South Korean squad has been steadily giving up on Bind.

Orangutan uniforms

The fourth Asian Pacific team won VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 1 without a single defeat.

The Indian team also swept the VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 2 recently without a chance, where they once again went unbeaten and qualified for Ascension.

However, Orangutan only narrowly defeated Bleed eSports in the Long Conduit for the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific.

Orangutan's latest results:

A 2-0 win over Revenant Esports.
Victory over True Rippers Esports 2-0.
2-0 win over Astarte Army.
Defeated Reckoning Esports 3-2.
1-2 defeat by Bleed eSports.

Orangutan top scorers:

Bind - 100% wins.
Haven - 88% wins.
Ascent - 86% wins.
Split - 75% wins.
Pearl - 75% wins.
Fracture - 67% wins.

In return, the Indian team have consistently failed to beat Lotus.

Forecast for Dplus - Orangutan

I don't think Orangutan will be able to keep their freshness, as even the first game showed a certain difference in class. On the other hand, Dplus hasn't even debuted at all yet, but there are a lot more expectations for the team.

In general, the South Korean team still looks preferable, and the combined experience of the players is much more than that of Orangutan. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Dplus win.
