Match forudsigelse: T1 - NRG | VALORANT

T1 and NRG will meet on the third day of the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo. In this case, the winner will go on to the play-offs, while the loser will still play for a slot, probably against Natus Vincere.

Personally, I liked the performance of the North American squad in the Long Converge Championship, as they confidently rolled up Born to Win, although they managed to give up a comeback on the second card.

As for T1, the South Koreans in general is not considered a contender for success, so here we have a clearly stronger opponent. So here I'd lean on the NRG team to win.

Form T1

The third ranked team from South Korea didn't make a name for itself in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023:LOCK//IN São Paulo, where it quickly pulled away from FURIA on Long Cogneaga.

T1, on the other hand, had a solid run at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League where they easily reached the play-offs before finishing in the top three.

As for Long Songpeg in the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, here the South Korean squad outplayed EDward Gaming, but looked thin in places.

The second team in the North American rankings reached the quarterfinals of the same VALORANT Champions Tour 2023:LOCK//IN São Paulo, where Ledge was defeated by LOUD in a close match.

However, NRG managed to rehabilitate themselves in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, where they even managed to overcome the difficulties they created and made it through to the final.

Moreover, the North American squad had an excellent showing in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, where they solved a major problem by beating Natus Vincere.

Forecast for the match T1 - NRG

I don't think the South Korean team will be able to create a miracle, because everything looked very sad in the first game. And in fact, we can say that Asia is behind America in level.

As for the NRG, the team has already solved the main task, beating Born to Win the day before. Now the North Americans need one win to qualify for the play-offs, and it is unlikely that such a squad will waver.

So in this case, I'd recommend betting on the NRG team to win.
