T1 will face off against Rex Regum Qeon in a match at the VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1. T1 has already successfully qualified for the playoff stage of the tournament, while RRQ is close to qualifying. Let's evaluate the form of both teams and predict the winner of this match.

Current Team Form

T1 continues to showcase strong and consistent form throughout the season. The team secured 2nd place at the VCT 2025: Pacific Kickoff and emerged as the champion of the VCT 2025: Masters Bangkok, confirming their status as one of the region's favorites. In the current stage — VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1 — the team confidently holds a 3-0 record, defeating ZETA Division, Nongshim RedForce, and Team Secret. All these victories were achieved without roster changes, indicating the cohesion and stability of T1. Additionally, the team has won 5 out of their last 5 matches, further boosting confidence in their current form.

RRQ shows an inconsistent but promising performance. The team finished VCT 2025: Pacific Kickoff in 7th–8th place and won 3 of their last 5 matches. In the current stage, their record is 2-1, with victories over ZETA Division and TALON, and a loss to Nongshim RedForce. Despite relatively low expectations at the start of the season, RRQ can challenge even stronger opponents.

Team Map Pool

• Ban [T1]: Ascent — the team hasn't played this map, likely due to a lack of confidence on it.
• Ban [RRQ]: Lotus — traditionally banned by the team, and they will likely do the same here, especially considering T1's strong performance.
• Pick [T1]: Pearl — a strong map (4:1), T1 often shows confidence on it.
• Pick [RRQ]: Haven — one of their most played maps with a positive record (5:2), a comfortable choice.
• Ban [T1]: Fracture — despite frequent use, it has a weak record (4:5).
• Ban [RRQ]: Split — an unsuccessful map for RRQ (1:2), plus T1's decent form (5:4), makes sense to avoid it.
• Decider: Icebox — both teams have played it sparingly, making it a balanced choice for a potential third map.

Head-to-Head

T1 and RRQ have faced each other three times, with T1 winning all three encounters. This gives the Korean team a significant psychological advantage, as they know how to play against RRQ and have successfully executed it in practice.

Match Prediction

T1 appears to be the clear favorite in the upcoming matchup. The team is at the peak of their form: they have just won an international tournament, haven't lost a single match in the current stage, and demonstrate flexibility in both map selection and strategy. RRQ can put on a good show, but in key matches, they still lack the stability and experience against top-tier opponents.

Prediction: T1 wins 2-0.

VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1 runs from March 22 to May 11. During the event, teams compete for three slots at the VCT 2025: Masters Toronto and Pacific Points, which are crucial for further qualification to VALORANT Champions. For more details on the match schedule and tournament results, click here.
