Matchförutsägelse: BOOM Esports - Bonkers | VALORANT

BOOM Esports and Bonkers will meet in the second quarter-final of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. While the winner of the match will go to Bleed eSports, the loser will go home.

I do not think that the Australian team will be able to open up here, especially as the Bonkers have not yet shown themselves in the competition. On their part, BOOM Esports can somehow be reckoned among the favourites, but they played poorly in the group.

Still, there are more questions about the Aussies, who obviously lack stability in games against strong opponents. So here I would lean on the BOOM Esports team to win.

BOOM Esports form

The sixth Asian Pacific team finished only second to VALORANT Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 1, losing to Bigetron Arctic in the final.

However, the Indonesian team didn't grieve too much as they won the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 2 and qualified for Ascension.

However, BOOM Esports did not play their best in the group stage of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific as they took down ONE Team and NAOS Esports before defeating Fancy United and XERXIA.

BOOM Esports latest results:

• A 3-1 win over Dominatus.
• A 1-2 loss to ONE Team.
• 2-0 win over Fancy United.
• 1-2 defeat of NAOS Esports.
• 2-1 win over XERXIA.

BOOM Esports top scorers:

• Lotus - 100% wins.
• Pearl - 75% wins.
• Fracture - 67% wins.
• Split - 60% wins.
• Ascent - 58% wins.

It's worth noting that the Indonesian squad has so far given up on Fracture.

Bonkers form

The Australian first 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 were beaten by SCARZ of Japan.

However, the Australian squad managed to add to the mix in the end, outplaying Dplus and Orangutan as well as suffering an unforced defeat at the hands of leader Bleed eSports.

Bonkers' latest results:

• A 3-0 win over NerdPunt.
• A 0-2 loss to SCARZ.
• A 2-1 win over Dplus.

• Fracture - 67% wins.
• Lotus - 67% wins.

Forecast of the match BOOM Esports - Bonkers

It is worth keeping in mind the fact that the Australian team can clinch. However, I find it very hard to believe in a BO3 victory.

Moreover, the BOOM Esports squad is much more experienced and known, and the team has not yet properly opened. In general, Bonkers not bad, but here clearly falls a little short.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on BOOM Esports to win.
