Orangutan vs DPlus Esports - Who will outperform the other in this VCT Ascension: Pacific matchup?
Predictions
Orangutan had a dominant performance in their region's Challenger's League. However, the team has looked a little shaky coming into the Ascension event. Orangutan needs this win to still have a chance of qualifying for the Playoffs.
DPlus Esports had an almost flawless run in Split 1 and 2 in their Challengers League. Their performance was very dominant in Korea. However, they also haven't been able to show great results in the Ascension event.
Predicting the winner for the matchup is difficult as both teams have had equally good performances. Both teams desperately need this win to not only stay in the competition but also boost their confidence from now on in this slot in the VCT Pacific League.
Head-to-head
