The Team Secret vs Talon Esports match at VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1 on April 28, 2024, is a high-stakes outing for Talon. While winning will solidify their position as the third qualified team from the Omega Group, a loss would mean that they would need to rely on ZETA DIVISION and RRQ to win their remaining matchups in the regular reason.
With teams striving to make it to the playoffs for a chance to represent the region at Masters Shanghai and potentially collect three VCT Championship Points, this will be an interesting match. Team Secret would be vying for a bye in the first round of the playoffs, while their opponents are still fighting to survive.
