Bonkers and Bleed eSports will meet in the last round of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific group stage. So far, the Australian squad has surprised, barring another bout the day before.
In turn, Bleed eSports also surprises, who after a tough Long Cogneg in the group stage managed to lose to Dplus, thereby complicating their way into the play-offs.
Still, I don't think Bonkers will have the confidence to play such a game, as the Aussies have never shown themselves under pressure before. So here I would lean on a resounding victory for the Bleed eSports team.
Bonkers form
The first Australian ranked 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 suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of SCARZ of Japan.
However, the Australian squad went on to record a sensational win over Dplus, thereby shuffling all the maps in the group and entering the battle for a place in the play-offs.
Bonkers' latest results:
- A 0-2 loss 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 top scorers:
- Haven - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 100% wins.
- Lotus - 100% wins.
- Split - 100% wins.
- Fracture - 75% wins.
- Bind - 60% wins.
- Ascent - 50% wins.
It should be said that the Australian team usually gives up Ascent.
Bleed eSports uniforms
The second team in the Asia-Pacific rankings won the Penta Pro Series back in 2022, but also fell at the AfreecaTV SEA Invitational.
However, the Singapore-based side won both of the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Malaysia & Singapore splits where they played brilliantly against their neighbours.
As for Long Congo in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific, Bleed eSports beat Orangutan and SCARZ but unexpectedly Ledgeila Dplus in the last round, making their lives very difficult.
Bleed eSports latest results:
- A 2-0 win over Kizuna Esports.
- Victory over X10 Esports 3-0.
- 2-1 win over Orangutan.
- 2-1 win over SCARZ.
- Defeat by Dplus 0-2.
Bleed eSports top scorers:
- Haven - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 93% wins.
- Ascent - 80% wins.
- Lotus - 71% wins.
- Fracture - 67% wins.
- Bind - 67% wins.
- Split - 67% wins.
Interestingly, the Singapore team has also decided to give up Ascent.

The teams have not met before.
Forecast for the match Bonkers - Bleed eSports
Slightly dangerous odds, because recently Bleed eSports already surprised with a minus sign, somehow losing to Dplus. Still, looking at the situation from afar, the Aussies are still short of the margin.
Yes, it remains to be seen how Bonkers will play their third match, but this is where the fate of both teams will be decided, who, if they win, will almost certainly advance to the play-offs.
Still, I'm leaning in favour of the Singapore squad, who should finally have their problems solved by now. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Bleed eSports to win 2-0.
