Predictions

Team Liquid had a lot of ups and downs in 2023. The team's best performance was during the VCT EMEA League, where they defeated Fnatic's superteam and were crowned the winners of the regional event. Unfortunately, they couldn't continue this momentum and had underwhelming performances in both VCT Masters Tokyo and Valorant Champions 2023. Since then, the team has made quite a lot of changes to their roster.

T1 had a similar situation to Team Liquid. Their performances in the Pacific League were decent, but the team had a difficult time going toe to toe against the international competition. After a few disappointing performances in the VCT events, they bolstered their roster with new players.

The matchup slightly favors Team Liquid as it is filled with experienced Valorant pros. However, T1 has shown a lot of potential and could definitely turn this into an upset.
