ONE Team and NAOS Esports will meet on the penultimate day of play in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. So far, the teams are tied, although you would expect the Philippine team to at least qualify for the play-offs.
ONE Team, on the other hand, has yet to prove anything, as the Long Corner at this championship cannot be called a clear winner. In general, the Taiwanese team is yet to show itself, although NAOS Esports is not yet able to realize itself in the group stage.
Anything can happen, but on paper, ONE Team is far from sensational. Still, given the instability of NAOS Esports, I would lean on the card from ONE Team.

Forecast of the match ONE Team - NAOS Esports
Quite unusual odds, because the Philippine team is clearly not playing for such quotes. In turn, although ONE Team looks like an outsider, but so far the team has been surprising.
In general, given the gaps NAOS Esports on the map, the Taiwanese team can really get a grip on the result and come up with something heresy at The International.
So in this case, I'd recommend betting on the Forum on maps (+1.5) for ONE Team.
