Valorant Convergence 2023 is among the many OFF//SEASON VCT events this year. The tournament will see a total of six teams from all around the world compete for a prize pool of $50,000 in Bangalore, India. It will start off with a Group Stage, and two teams will make it through to compete in the Grand Finals.
Day 3 of the event has two matches scheduled and the second one is between India's Global Esports and Brazil's FURIA.
Day 2 started off with a contest between Turkey's FUT Esports and India's True Rippers. While the latter gave it their best on the first map, Haven, the former was able to pull the Bo3 (Best-of-three) in their favor and won it 2-0. The second match saw a similar result as EMEA's Team Vitality beat Brazil's FURIA 2-0.
Trending
Global Esports vs FURIA - Which team will win this match at Valorant Convergence 2023?
Predictions
Global Esports had an underwhelming performance in VCT 2023. While the team showed great potential, they were unable to win most of their matches. This led to a major revamp of the roster for 2024 which saw the inclusion of players with international LAN experience at the highest level like Benkai and Russ to the team. Unfortunately, the former was unable to make it to this event.
FURIA started off with some strong performances and became one of the top teams in VCT Americas League. However, the team was unable to maintain this form and struggled to continue winning matches.
With a fifth-sixth place finish in the league and an early knockout in the LCQ (Last Chance Qualifiers), they were unable to qualify for any international Valorant events. For 2024, the team has brought in three new players in order to shake things up and improve their performance.
This Valorant match favors FURIA as their new roster has played together a bit longer than Global Esports. Another thing that supports this argument is how Global Esports is playing with a stand-in player.
Head-to-head
These teams have never faced each other before.
