NAOS Esports and Bleed Esports are two of the strongest teams in the competition. However, for tomorrow's game Bleed Esports is favorite to win over their Filipino opponents.
The team has performed extremely well in their domestic competitions. Now, it's time to perform the same in the international stage. The environment and other factors are completely in their favor in tomorrow's tie, which puts them ahead of their opponents.
