Global Esports vs AG.AL Betting Predictions


Global Esports and AG.AL will clash on Sunday, July 5, in the Group D Elimination Match at the VALORANT Esports World Cup, battling for survival and a spot in the decider match.

Neither team is expected to make it far this event, having been mediocre in the current split. Global Esports, unlike AG.AL featured at the recent Masters London, where they left a relatively positive impression. However, their showing in the opening round of EWC has left a lot to be desired.

All eyes will be on Global Esports and whether they can bounce back. However, considering their performance against MIBR, it is hard to be overly optimistic about GE and their chances to impress.

Global Esports With a Rough Start


Global Esports have been having a decent season so far, but nothing outstanding. They placed third in VCT Pacific Stage 1 and have had their moments at VALORANT Masters London, where Global Esports defeated FULL SENSE and played two close games against XLG Esports and Leviatan.

Despite showing some promise, Global Esports failed to live up to expectations in the opening round of the Esports World Cup, losing 0-2 to MIBR, with 2-13 on Lotus and 3-13 on Haven.

It was a complete collapse from Global Esports, who did not look like themselves on the day. So the big question is whether GE have only had a one-off game or whether they might be fatigued from the packed schedule and are unlikely to bounce back for the second match of the group stage.

AG.AL Can Do Damage


AG.AL started their Esports World Cup campaign with a 1-2 defeat against Team Heretics. Admittedly, Heretics are not in the best shape and hardly one of the main title contenders; however, seeing AG.AL playing a competitive game against one of VCT EMEA’s top teams is promising.

Despite the loss, AG.AL have had their chances. They nearly picked up Haven (11-13), then won Ascent (13-8), and lost Lotus 7-13, after a very strong 7-5 start on the attacking side.

Overall, a promising display from the Chinese outfit, who have been showing some signs of life this split, granted mainly against regional opponents.

Verdict

Global Esports are billed as firm favourites to take down AG.AL. This makes some sense, as Global Esports have found more success this season and hail from a stronger region.

However, for now, they are in an iffy spot, and their tough loss to MIBR can indicate that GE either do not care as much about the EWC or they might be fatigued from having to deal with a very packed schedule.

If both teams play at 100%, Global Esports should win. But AG.AL looked better in the opening round, and if they can recreate that on Sunday, the Chinese squad should be good for at least one map.
