Predictions

Global Esports had a great run in South Asia in the past. After franchising, the team saw a complete revamp as talented players from all around the globe were brought in to form the roster. The new roster was able to win one map against Team Vitality at LOCK//IN but was eventually eliminated from the tournament.

On the other hand, T1 started out competing in NA. It was only after franchising that the organization completely shifted to the Pacific region. Here, they brought in players from Cloud9, The Guard, and Crazy Racoon to form a stacked team.

This matchup is a tough one to call as both teams possess the firepower and strategic capabilities to emerge victorious. However, based on their recent performances, Global Esports may have a slight edge over T1 as they performed better than T1 at the LOCK//IN tournament.
