XERXIA and ONE Team will meet in the first round of the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. To be honest, neither of these teams appear to be favourites, but the Thai team look the more interesting in the face-off.
As for ONE Team, the team banal took advantage of a passable regional event, where they could hardly find two worthy teams. So it turned out that the guys from Taiwan got here, but it will be difficult for them here.
In general, I'm all for the Thai team as ONE Team does not seem competitive to me. So here I would lean on Team XERXIA to win.
XERXIA uniforms
The fourteenth-ranked Asian Pacific team failed at VALORANT Challengers 2023: Thailand Split 1, where they couldn't even make the play-offs.
However, the Thai team then managed to take second place at the end of the Gaming Nation Valorant Thailand Championship Season 2, showing the first signs of life.
Towards the end of the season, XERXIA were victorious in the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Thailand Split 2 and made it to the final Ascension of their region.
XERXIA's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over CRIT Esports.
- A 2-0 win over CRIT Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to FULL SENSE.
- Beat Made in Thailand 2-1.
- Beat FULL SENSE 3-1.
Top XERXIA scores:
- Fracture - 75% wins.
- Bind - 67% wins.
- Split - 60% wins.
- Lotus - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that the Thai team hardly ever play on the Pearl map.
ONE Team uniforms
The eighth team in the Asia-Pacific rankings had almost no chance of winning VALORANT Challengers 2023: Hong Kong and Taiwan Split 1, but had some trouble in the group stage.
The Taiwanese side went on to become even stronger by VALORANT Challengers 2023: Hong Kong and Taiwan Split 2, which they won safely without a single misfire.
All in all, at its level, ONE Team is tearing everyone apart. But it seems to me that the team will have some problems throughout the region.
ONE Team's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over UTT Esports.
- A 2-0 win over Ghetto Artist.
- 2-0 win over UTT Esports.
- Beat Anti Eco Eco Club 2-1.
- 3-0 win over Anti Eco Eco Club.
ONE Team's best scores:
- Haven - 92% wins.
- Ascent - 88% wins.
- Lotus - 80% wins.
- Pearl - 78% wins.
- Bind - 50% wins.
- Split - 50% wins.
In turn, the Taiwanese team does not show up on the Fracture map.

The teams have not met before.
XERXIA - ONE Team match forecast
In general, the logic is that the difference in class should play a role. All the same, XERXIA seems to be a more structured team, and with their playing experience everything is much more interesting.
As for ONE Team, it is difficult to draw conclusions yet, but the local league seems to be the weakest in all of Asia. So in this case, I would recommend betting on XERXIA to win.
