Orangutan vs Gods Reign in Valorant Challengers South Asia Split 1
On the final day of Valorant Challengers South Asia Split 1, the Orangutan will face Gods Reign.
Predictions
Gods Reign have played good Valorant in the current league, even taking down one of the favorites, Velocity Gaming, in their rematch. They also bounced back after their surprise defeat against Reckoning Esports.
Orangutan has only dropped three maps in six matches, demonstrating their amazing coordination. However, the teams have not faced each other before, making this contest unpredictable. Nonetheless, considering their recent form and winning run, Orangutan has a slight edge.
Head-to-Head
Orangutan is yet to face Gods Reign in an official match.
Previous results
Despite some maps going down to the wire, Orangutan has displayed great form throughout the tournament and has not faced a loss. They defeated Lethal Esports, Aster Army, Medal Esports, and Reckoning Esports to qualify for the finals. The Indian powerhouse was clinical in their upper bracket run, taking down True Rippers and Reckoning Esports with a score of 2-0. As a result, they are on a six-game winning streak, which will undoubtedly boost the team's confidence ahead of this encounter.
On their road to the Grand Finals, Gods Reign has only lost two matches. Their first loss was against Velocity Gaming in the League Stage, and their second defeat came at the hands of Reckoning Esports in the Upper Round 1. In the playoffs, they defeated Velocity Gaming in the Lower Round before eclipsing the Aster Army and True Rippers in subsequent encounters.
