T1 finished VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1 Group Alpha in third place with a 2-4 record, one spot behind Team Secret at 3-3. Although they looked shaky in the final week of the regular season, T1 are priced as slight favourites with BetOnline for this match.
Team Secret are not in a much better spot, as they also slipped in the final week of the regular season. That said, Secret humiliated Paper Rex in Week 3 and have been slowly improving as the season progressed.
Both teams have played good and bad games throughout VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1; however, Team Secret have looked cleaner lately, making them a better choice at the offered VALORANT esports betting odds.

Paper Rex are priced as massive favourites for their first match of the VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1 Playoffs, and it’s hard to argue with that. They have been performing well this season, with a runner-up finish in the Kickoff tournament and a bronze medal from VCT 2024 Masters Madrid.
Paper Rex ended Stage 1 with just one defeat — against the surging Team Secret in Week 3. Talon Esports finished the group stage with the same 4-1 record, but they did not look as dominant in their wins — especially against lesser teams such as Bleed Esports and Global Esports.
Paper Rex are one of the region’s strongest teams, whereas Talon Esports have only made it so far because they managed to edge past a couple of bottom-feeders. As the offered VCT betting odds suggest, Paper Rex should deal with Talon Esports easily.
