Dsyre and CGN Esports will meet in the group stage of VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: EMEA. Things are much more heated here at The International, as the teams are roughly similar to each other and have played in the same league in the past.
Dsyre now performs in Italy, while CGN Esports stays true to the German scene. Personally, I think the Italian league is a little weaker in the current reality, at least in terms of names it's not as heresy.
In general, if you compare the distant factors, Dsyre doesn't have that much competition, which could be a problem. So here I would lean on the CGN Esports team to win.
Dsyre's form
The thirteenth team of the world ranking finished second in the VALORANT Challengers 2023 Italy: Rinascimento Split 1, losing in the grand final to GMT Esports.
Interestingly, the Italian team didn't go into changes, managing to keep the squad unchanged for the rest of the season.
As a result, Dsyre won the VALORANT Challengers 2023 Italy: Rinascimento Split 2, where although it didn't look absolutely best, it took its slot in Ascension without any problems.
Dsyre's latest results:
- A 13-3 win over MACKO Esports.
- 13-5 win over Axolotl.
- A 0-3 loss to GMT Esports.
- 3-0 win over MACKO Esports.
- Beat GMT Esports 3-0.
Dsyre's best:
- Fracture - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 100% wins.
- Lotus - 100% wins.
- Haven - 79% wins.
- Bind - 67% wins.
- Split - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that the Italian team usually refuses to use Fracture.
CGN Esports uniforms
The seventeenth team in the European rankings had no problem winning the long-running VALORANT Challengers 2023 DACH: Evolution Split 1, thus showing their desire to be in the transitional championship.
However, the German squad fell at Surfshark Valorant Challenge #2, where they managed to suffer two defeats to SuperMassive Esports and KPI Gaming.
CGN Esports, however, did not falter too much as the team once again went through VALORANT Challengers 2023 DACH: Evolution Split 2 with confidence and took the title.
CGN Esports latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to MOUZ.
- A 2-0 win over ALTERNATE aTTaX.
- Victory over Ovation eSports by a score of 2-1.
- Beat MOUZ by a score of 2-1.
- Beat MOUZ 3-2.
Top scores for CGN Esports:
- Fracture - 75% wins.
- Haven - 70% wins.
- Ascent - 62% wins.
- Lotus - 60% wins.
- Bind - 60% wins.
In turn, the German team usually gives up on Split.

Prediction for the match Dsyre - CGN Esports
It's really interesting to see what the teams are like at The International. But given the lack of introductions as such, you have to go into subjectivism.
In this regard, the Italian team personally doesn't seem as confident to me as CGN Esports. At the very least, Dsyre's season hasn't been as smooth.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the team CGN Esports.
