VCT 2023: Pacific League started on March 25, 2023, and is currently in its seventh week. More than fifty games have been played so far in the tournament, showcasing some of the best Valorant esports action in the region to date. There are only two weeks left, including the much-anticipated Super Week. The spirits are high, and all teams are trying to pull out the last of their hidden strats to make it into the playoffs.

Both teams are currently at two wins and four losses so far in the VCT Pacific League. This makes it a must-win situation for both if they want to stand a decent chance of making it into the playoffs stage. Here is everything you need to know about the game going into it.
Global Esports vs RRQ: Who will win the first match of Day 20 of VCT Pacific 2023?
Predictions
Today's VCT Pacific series between Global Esports and RRQ will be extremely important for both teams' future in the tournament, especially their chances of making it into the playoffs.
From their choice of maps so far in the tournament, Haven is definitely on the cards, as both teams are good on it. Among other likely maps to be played in the series are Split and Pearl.
Both teams have also shown Lotus in recent games, so that is also a possibility. Icebox is also a map that the teams are good at. But with it gone, it is uncertain if either will pick Bind at this stage in the tournament.
Giveb Global Esports and RRQ are quite evenly matched with highly talented players on their rosters, and the game is bound to be close. However, with the form that the South Asian representatives have shown in the last two weeks of VCT Pacific, they appear to have a slight edge over their opponents.
Head-to-head
The teams faced each other in APAC Challengers 2022, where RRQ came out on top. That being said, the squads were almost entirely different back then.
Recent results
Global Esports has recently started gaining momentum. After consecutive losses in the first three weeks of VCT Pacific, the team has managed to defeat Talon Esports and Gen.G while pushing Paper Rex close on a third map.
RRQ, on the other hand, looked quite sharp in Weeks 3 and 4, winning against Detonation FocusMe and Team Secret. Despite their loss against T1 in Week 5, the fact that they managed to take a map off of DRX in Week 6 and almost close the series out 2-0 before falling prey to a reverse sweep speaks volumes about their prowess.
