Gen.G Esports vs Global Esports Predictions

Gen.G Esports and Global Esports will clash on Friday, July 5, in the final week of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2024: Pacific Stage 2. It'll mark their first clash of the year and to no one's surprise, Gen.G are heavy favourites.

Valorant bookmakers have Gen.G priced as 1.02 favourites to defeat Global Esports, who enter the match as 10.00 outsiders. At this number, Global Esports are expected to win in only 1/10 scenarios, which, based on the two teams' performances this split is a fair assessment.

Head to Head

Global Esports and Gen.G have yet to meet this season.

Gen.G Form

Gen.G have managed just three wins in VCT 2024: Pacific Stage 1 and have, over the three games in Stage 2, won two. With that, they hold a combined record of 5-3, albeit that is hardly a good indication of how strong this team is.

Despite their less-than-exciting VCT Pacific record, Gen.G are VCT 2024: Masters Madrid runners-up and Masters Shanghai champions, hence by far the most successful Valorant esports team of the season.

However, Gen.G's remarkable accomplishments are somewhat overshadowed by their shaky second-stage results. They barely managed to defeat T1 (2-1), and they were hardly more convincing in their victory against Bleed Esports (2-1) last week.

Two questionable games don't diminish Gen.G's accomplishments this season. But there's no denying they're not in great shape.

No roster changes for Gen.G.

Global Esports Form

Global Esports are 3-6, meaning they likely won't reach the VCT 2024: Pacific Playoffs. They've also not looked good this stage, with two defeats against Team Secret (0-2) and T1 (1-2) and one victory against Bleed Esports (2-0).

Even last stage, Global Esports failed to show anything exceptional, earning them the tag of one of the weakest teams in the region. Yet, while the results with this team are not quite there, their next opponents are not in good form either, so it's fair to question whether Global Esports are priced too generously at 10.00.

Verdict

Gen.G v Global Esports

Gen.G are by far the most accomplished Valorant esports team from VCT Pacific and in the world. On the other side, Global Esports are one of thew weakest teams in the region.

This explains why Gen.G are priced as 1.02 favourites, but this is an absurd number for a team that recently needed three maps to defeat Bleed Esports. It could've been a one-off match, yet Gen.G didn't look particularly good in the first week of the stage either.

Global Esports should never defeat Gen.G, but they should be able to take eight rounds.
