T1 and Gen.G Esports will meet in the second quarter-final of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League. In this case, the winner will take on Paper Rex, while the loser will go on to conquer the lower net.
I doubt Gen.G Esports will be able to go far, as the team has looked very poor in the last month. And if it wasn't for Long Saugus victories, the South Koreans would be sitting at home.
That said, it's worth mentioning that the teams played each other in the regular season, and then Gen.G Esports pulled off a sensation. But you can't fall into the same river twice, so no sensations. So here I would lean on the T1 team to win.
Form T1
The third ranked South Korean team managed to fall at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where FURIA was already in the first round.
Moreover, the South Korean squad had a poor showing at the Long Stage of the regular season VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, where they lost too often.
In the end, however, T1 managed to accelerate with some solid victories. Yes, in that last round, the Ledge team beat DRX, but in fact we have the third seed of the championship in front of us.
Latest T1 results:
- A 2-0 win over Rex Regum Qeon.
- Victory over DetonatioN FocusMe with a score of 2-1.

Top T1 scores:
- Lotus - 100% wins.
- Bind - 75% wins.
- Fracture - 50% wins.
- Haven - 50% wins.
Don't forget that the South Korean team usually bans the Split map.
Gen.G Esports uniforms
The fourth team in the South Korean rankings, on the other hand, was very cool in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, where they picked up four quick wins.
But from there, Gen.G Esports began to slow down, only to quickly let most of their opponents get ahead and hang on by a thread.
And yet, the South Korean team managed to slip into the play-offs, but the last five matches for Gen.G Esports turned out to be a defeat. That's why you shouldn't trust the numbers.
Gen.G Esports latest results:
- A 0-2 loss to DRX.
- A 0-2 loss to Global Esports.
- 0-2 loss to Talon Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Paper Rex.
- Defeat by ZETA DIVISION, 1-2.
Top scores for Gen.G Esports:
- Ascent - 67% wins.

In turn, the Gen.G Esports team has not yet been shown on the Bind map.
T1 - Gen.G Esports match statistics
During the current season, the teams have played one meeting - in the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League victory went to Gen.G Esports (2-0).
T1 vs Gen.G Esports
It was after beating T1 that Gen.G Esports' game fell apart. And if you start from the last month, there is no prospect of improvement at all.
In turn, T1 was able to show a good game exactly at the end of the regular season, so it makes little sense to rely on that face-off.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a T1 team win.
