Bonkers and Persija Esports: Who will win their first game in the VCT 2022 APAC Stage-1 Challengers?
Bonkers qualified for the APAC Stage-1 Challengers after becoming the champions of the Valorant Oceania Tour Stage-1 last month. In contrast, Persija Esports was the runner-up of the Indonesia Challengers and qualified for the tournament.
Prediction:
Judging by their firepower, Persija Esports are the favorites to win the series tomorrow against their Oceanian opposition. The team loves to try out different Agent compositions as per their strengths for different maps. Hence, they become unpredictable for their opponents at times, which eventually helps them win series.
This is the first time that fans will see an Oceanian team in action on the international stage. The unpredictability of the Oceanian side can also help them pull off an upset in tomorrow's tie.
Head-to-head:
Bonkers and Persija Esports are yet to face each other in any official tournaments. It will be interesting to see who takes the lead in their head-to-head record after tomorrow's game.
