SCARZ Vil vinne

Orangutan and SCARZ will meet in the second round of the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: Pacific. Generally speaking, The International is a heresy match, as the line-up is picked without obvious regional definition.

Orangutan, on the other hand, does seem like a slight underdog in the meeting, given the region in which the team has played throughout the season.

It's clear that the Japanese team do not appear to be favourites for the championship, but here the boys have a slightly better chance. So here I would lean on the SCARZ team to win.

Orangutan uniforms

The fourth team in the Asia-Pacific rankings easily won VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 1 without a single defeat.

Immediately after that, the Indian team also swept VALORANT Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 2 without a chance, where once again they did not lose a single encounter.

However, there is a downside to this story as Orangutan saw little competition. It seems to me that this point will play a part in Ascension's diatribe.

Orangutan's latest results:

A 2-0 win over Velocity Gaming.
2-0 win over Revenant Esports.
Victory over True Rippers Esports 2-0.
Beat Aster Army 2-0.
Defeated Reckoning Esports 3-2.

Orangutan's best scores:

Bind - 100% wins.
Pearl - 100% wins.
Haven - 88% wins.
Ascent - 86% wins.
Fracture - 80% wins.
Split - 75% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Indian team has been steadily abandoning Lotus.

SCARZ form

The third team in the Japanese rankings had a terrible showing at the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Japan Split 1, finishing only third and not getting into the second split directly.

As a result, SCARZ had to make it through the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Japan Split 2 Advance Stage, but the team had no problems there.

As a result, the Japanese team made a strong showing in the VALORANT Challengers 2023: Japan Split 2, winning the championship and picking up a trip to Ascension.

Latest SCARZ results:

A 1-2 loss to Crazy Raccoon.
A 2-0 win over Crest Gaming Zst.
A 1-3 loss to Jadeite.
3-1 win over FENNEL.
3-2 win over Jadeite.

SCARZ's best scores:

Split - 80% wins.
Ascent - 67% wins.
Pearl - 64% wins.
Bind - 60% wins.
Fracture - 60% wins.
Haven - 54% wins.

The Japanese team, in turn, routinely turn away Lotus.

Orangutan vs SCARZ preview

I think the odds are a good reflection of the real picture. Orangutan may not be the favourite, but they won't be outsiders either.

SCARZ, on the other hand, have added a couple of notional points for the region, as the Japanese are much stronger structurally. All in all, it's all down to Orangutan's level, which is yet to be assessed.

In this case, though, I'd recommend betting on SCARZ to win.
