ZETA DIVISION and Team Secret will meet in the sixth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League regular season for a tentative six points.
Both teams are currently in a similar position, showing not the most stable game. And each has a chance, because ZETA DIVISION and Team Secret managed to show glimpses of meaning.
And I don't agree with the odds, which are painting the Filipinos as favourites. So here I'd take a closer look at the card from Team ZETA DIVISION, which might even win.
ZETA DIVISION's form
The first Japanese ranked team showed nothing in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where right from Long Sogpeg was defeated by Leviatán Esports and went home.
As for Long Ship in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, ZETA DIVISION lost to DRX as expected but luckily fought back and took three more victories.
There are questions about the last round, where the Japanese team managed to lose to the underdogs from Talon Esports, giving the outsider their first win of the season.
ZETA DIVISION's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to DRX.
- A 2-1 win over Rex Regum Qeon.
- 2-1 win over Global Esports.
- 2-0 win over DetonatioN FocusMe.
- Defeat by Talon Esports 0-2.
ZETA DIVISION's best wins:
- Lotus - 100% wins.
- Icebox - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the Japanese team continue to bash the Split map.
Team Secret form
The eighth Asian-Pacific team had a bit of a breakdown on the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, as they managed to shut out Team Liquid in the first round, but still fell further to Natus Vincere.
As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, the Philippine squad has been mixed so far with losses to Gen.G Esports and Rex Regum Qeon.
On the other hand, Team Secret has managed to outplay Talon Esports, Paper Rex and DetonatioN FocusMe. Overall, the team has a similar situation and everyone needs points.
Team Secret's latest results:

- A 0-2 loss to Gen.G Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Rex Regum Qeon.

Team Secret's best scores:
- Fracture - 75% wins.

Forecast for the match ZETA DIVISION - Team Secret
A controversial encounter, as both teams know how to surprise and lose to anyone. However, I wouldn't forget that the Japanese are very experienced, and Team Secret doesn't leave the impression of a 100% played team yet. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on cards (+1.5) for the ZETA DIVISION team.
