Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Team Secret | VALORANT

Team Liquid and Team Secret will meet in the first round of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo. It is very interesting to watch the “liquid” ones, which will appear in full force for the first time after all the changes.

However, here they have to deal with Team Secret - not the strongest team in their region. However, the Philippine team can definitely surprise the favorite by at least choosing one of their prepared maps. In general, I would not expect a rout here, since the situation is such that everyone can take a card from everyone, and the season is just beginning.

Form Team Liquid

The European team seriously updated its roster in the off-season by signing the stars of Gambit Esports and Guild Esports. At the same time, the team managed to make their debut at Red Bull Home Ground #3, although they did not play nAts with Redgar there.

However, Team Liquid failed in their last championship, where they suffered two defeats from representatives of the American League. In addition, I would not judge by victories over Team Heretics and FUT Esports, since these teams are nothing.

Latest Team Liquid results:

• Victory over FUT Esports with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by 100 Thieves with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Team Heretics with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to KRÜ Esports with a score of 0:2.

Team Secret uniform

The sixth team in the Asian ranking got off with minor changes, in fact, retaining their entire previous clip. If we talk about the past season, then there Team Secret won the VCT 2022: Philippines Stage 2 Challengers, but at the same time did not make it to any international tournament.

As for the off-season, here the Philippine team got three wins in six matches, which hardly pleases the fans. And yet there is a feeling that Team Secret can catch on, showing their strengths and new developments.

Latest Team Secret results:

• Lost to DRX with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by Rex Regum Qeon with a score of 8:13.
• Victory over Enigma Gaming with a score of 13:7.
• Victory over Team Heretics with a score of 13:6.
• Defeated by Paper Rex with a score of 1:2.

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — Team Secret

It is difficult to say what the teams will play from. However, I do not expect any special achievements from Team Liquid, although now the guys will play as the main roster. Still, the Filipino team can shoot on the conditional Haven, where the "liquid" ones often fail in defense. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend taking a chance and betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for Team Secret.
