Current form of the teams

TALON enter this match in inconsistent form, considering their recent results. Their recent win rate of 67% over the past month is a significant improvement compared to their overall yearly rate of 44%. However, their recent matches have been erratic, as indicated by the lack of a winning streak. TALON recently suffered a loss to DetonatioN FocusMe but secured victories against ZETA DIVISION and BOOM Esports. Their performances in VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 2 show fluctuating form, and to defeat T1 and secure a playoff spot, they will need to achieve greater stability.

T1, on the other hand, are a formidable opponent with more confident recent results. The team ranks 4th in earnings over the past six months with a total of $250,000 and has a 67% win rate in the past month. Their overall yearly win rate is 55%, which indicates consistent performance. Currently, T1 are on a two-match winning streak, having convincingly defeated ZETA DIVISION and BOOM Esports in recent matches, and like TALON, both victories were with a 2:0 scoreline.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head matchup between TALON and T1 is extensive, consisting of at least five encounters over the past two years: T1 have claimed three victories, while TALON have taken two. Notably, T1 won their most recent duel on May 22, 2025, with a 1:0 score. Meanwhile, in April 2025, TALON managed to defeat T1 2:0, demonstrating their ability to pose a challenge.

Match prediction

Analyzing the data, T1 are considered the favorites in this match and have a higher chance of winning given their recent results and current form. While TALON occasionally showcase impressive gameplay, their inconsistency may be a hindrance in a match against a team like T1. The predicted score is 2:1 in favor of T1. Both teams will play at their best, as this match will determine a playoff spot from at least 3rd place rather than 4th.

Prediction: TALON 1:2 T1
