NAOS Esports Kommer att vinna

NAOS Esports and Fancy United will meet in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. This is where The International is much more interesting, as the teams are roughly similar.

The Filipino squad, on the other hand, seems a little more diligent. Moreover, in a pure comparison of the two divisions, Fancy United seem slightly weaker in team terms.

Furthermore, the Vietnamese squad is probably weary of worthwhile competition, so I think Fancy United will have a tough time of it. So here I would lean on the NAOS Esports team to win.

The seventh-ranked Asian Pacific team failed in the SIBOL 2023 National Team Selection for Sea Games 2023, but went on to win the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Philippines Split 1.

On the other hand, in between splits, the Philippine team failed in the Predator Kings of PH 2023 where they could not even compete with unknown opponents at all.

Still, NAOS Esports emerged victorious from VALORANT Challengers 2023: Philippines Split 2 to prove their worth and qualify for the current Ascension.

NAOS Esports latest results:

A 2-0 win over SR Nacague.

NAOS Esports top scorers:

Ascent - 89% wins.
Pearl - 85% wins.
Fracture - 82% wins.
Bind - 67% wins.
Lotus - 67% wins.

It's worth mentioning that the Filipino squad is not shown on the Split map.

The fifth team in the Asia-Pacific rankings confidently played in the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Vietnam Split 1 where they did not suffer a single defeat.

Next up, the Vietnamese squad also won VALORANT Challengers 2023: Vietnam Split 2, where it looked slightly worse, but still managed to grab a precious slot at Ascension.

For now, however, it's hard to judge Fancy United's prospects, as there was little competition in Vietnam. And in terms of names, the team doesn't stand out much against their opponents in the group.

Fancy United's latest results:

A 2-0 win over TWOKAY.
2-0 win over LAZY.
2-0 win over Team Big BAAM.
2-0 win over LAZY.
Beat LAZY 3-2.

Fancy United's best:

Fracture - 100% wins.
Lotus - 100% wins.
Haven - 92% wins.
Ascent - 91% wins.
Pearl - 78% wins.
Bind - 50% wins.

In turn, the Vietnamese team does not appear on the Lotus map.

NAOS Esports - Fancy United matchup prediction

Nothing much to say, because objectively there is a difference between the two leagues. And if the Filipinos are quite used to the struggle and competition, then Fancy United is the unconditional favorite in Vietnam.

In general, in such a situation it's difficult to make anything up, and in fact the Filipino team is much more experienced. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on NAOS Esports to win.
