Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) vs Global Esports: Who will keep their hopes alive in the VCT APAC Stage 2 Challengers?
Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) and Global Esports will face each other in a best-of-three series today at the VCT APAC Stage 2 Challengers Group Stage and the winner of the game will continue their journey in the tournament while the loser will have to make an early exit from the event. Fans are eagerly waiting to witness a thrilling clash between the two sides.
Prediction
Both teams are equally strong and ready to give their all to stay in the competition, making it quite tough to predict a clear winner between the two sides. However, many believe that RRQ has a better chance of winning the series tomorrow. SEA sides always have a better record against South Asian sides. The South Asian side has never won a game against the SEA side in any official event till date. Hence, RRQ will surely feel the superiority on the Indian side.
The Filipino side has performed exceptionally well in the Play-Ins. The team started the campaign with a win against Team Big BAAM but lost its second game against Bleed Esports. However, the team has found their way through to the Playoffs by defeating Ghetto Artists, which shows the team's determination to win and deliver their best performance in do-or-die situations.
However, Global Esports is also known for its exceptional performances in knock-out games. The team can bring out its best performance in do-or-die situations and Global Esports' fans will hope that the team can do it again today.
Head-to-heads
The two teams have not faced each other in any official events till date. Today's series will be the first face-off between the two sides. Hence, it will be interesting to see who comes up top in their first battle today.
