We have not seen TALON play yet this VCT<\/a> season, whereas Global Esports defeated Team Secret in the first round with a 2-1 reverse-sweep. It was a good performance from the new-look roster — especially Federico “PapiChulo” Evangelista, who ended the day with the highest performance rating of 1.23, ahead of Savva “Kr1stal” Fedorov at 1.15.<\/p>\n

Global Esports banned Haven in that game yet failed to perform on Abyss, which is worrying, although their Split and Pearl looked great. TALON have a 38% and 50% map win rate on the two maps.<\/p>\n

Top VALORANT betting sites<\/a> have TALON priced as favourites — which makes sense, as this new lineup includes some of the top talent from the region. But unlike Global Esports, TALON have not played a match in over a month, so a worse showing is to be expected.<\/p>\n

GEN.G ESPORTS vs REX REGUM QEON VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nGen.G $1.33 at GG Bet<\/a> | RRQ $3.14 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJanuary 25, 2025 | 20:00 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Gen.G Esports were the most dominant VCT Pacific team of 2024 but decided to freshen up their roster with two new signings: Chae “yoman” Young-mun from Nongshim RedForce and Jung “Foxy9” Jae-sung from DRX.<\/p>\n

With the new lineup, Gen.G attended four offseason tournaments at the end of 2024 and won two, TEN VALORANT Asia Invitational 2024 and Gwangju Esports Series Asia 2024, adding a runner-up finish at SOOP VALORANT League 2024 in December.<\/p>\n

Rex Regum Qeon started the season well and reverse-swept DetonatioN FocusMe with 13-3 on Pearl and Haven. Even though they dropped one map, RRQ bounced back with a dominant display on the final two.<\/p>\n

Gen.G look like the superior team on paper, but as shown in round one, RRQ are not to be underestimated. This looks like a 60-40 match at best, so we will gladly take some RRQ at the offered betting odds.<\/p>\n
