Predictions
Gods Reign were an exceptional team in the Penta Pro Series back in 2022. While they lost to Revenant Esports at the Lower bracket finals, they displayed resilience against teams like Reckoning Esports, Vorpal Swords, and Wide Swing.
Velocity Gaming also had a great run in the recent Penta Pro Series. While both Gods Reign and Velocity Gaming were considered strong, the latter played more matches in the series and also won more games.
Velocity Gaming defeated Revenant Esports thrice throughout the tournament, but forfeited to BOOM Esports during the finale.
While both rosters house strong talent, Velocity Gaming has a slightly higher chance of winning the opening game of the Valorant Challengers League South Asia.
Head-to-head
Gods Reign and Velocity Gaming have not competed against each other in the past, according to vlr.gg. This makes predicting the winner somewhat difficult and it is yet to be seen how the teams will perform against each other.
Recent results
