Match Prediction: Orangutan - Bonkers | VALORANT

Bonkers Will win

Orangutan and Bonkers will meet on the penultimate day of play in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. The Indian squad will be the last to play, but they are already certain to be out.

The Bonkers, on the other hand, are still hanging in there, given that the Australian team managed to beat Dplus the day before and have now joined the fray. So the team now needs a victory, because they still have to play Bleed eSports in the last round.

Even without that, Orangutan has already managed to show themselves as a weak team, which is weak for this level. So here I would lean on the Bonkers team to win.

Orangutan's form

The sixth Asian Pacific team won VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 1 without a single defeat in the process.

What's more, the Indian side also trounced VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 2 without a chance, thereby forcing their way into the current Ascension.

However, Orangutan did not fare well in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific as they lost to Bleed eSports, SCARZ and Dplus to clinch the play-offs.

Orangutan's latest results:

A 2-0 win over Aster Army.
Victory over Reckoning Esports 3-2.
1-2 loss to Bleed eSports.
0-2 defeat to SCARZ.
1-2 defeat by Dplus.

Orangutan's best scores:

Haven - 89% wins.
Bind - 80% wins.
Split - 75% wins.
Pearl - 75% wins.
Ascent - 67% wins.
Fracture - 57% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Indian team has been steadily abandoning Lotus.

Form Bonkers

The Australian first team won both splits of VALORANT Challengers 2023: Oceania, in the process also winning the local REFLEX Challenge OCE.

However, Bonkers were unsuccessful in the group stage of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific, where they crashed to an upset loss to SCARZ of Japan.

Yet the day before, the Aussie side pulled off a surprise win over Dplus. Thanks to this, the team is now in contention for the play-offs, for which they need at least one win.

Bonkers' latest results:

A 0-2 defeat to NerdPunt.
Victory over EXYZ with a score of 2-1.
3-0 win over NerdPunt.
0-2 defeat for SCARZ.
2-1 win over Dplus.

Bonkers' best scores:

Haven - 100% wins.
Pearl - 100% wins.
Lotus - 100% wins.
Split - 100% wins.
Fracture - 75% wins.
Bind - 60% wins.
Ascent - 50% wins.

In return, the Aussie team usually forgoes Ascent.

Orangutan vs Bonkers preview

We have equal odds here, with some quotes leaning more in favor of the Indian team. But practice shows that Orangutan are absolutely no match for the Long Championships, and right now they're not even close.

In turn, the Australian team is in the epicentre of the struggle, and if not here, it will be much harder for the team to fight for a place in the play-offs.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on the Bonkers team to win.
