Persija Esports and Bonkers: Who will qualify for the VCT 2022 APAC Stage-1 Challengers Playoffs?
Persija Esports dropped into the Loser Bracket after losing against Paper Rex in their last game. Whereas, Bonkers kept their hopes alive in the competition by eliminating Fancy United Esports in their previous game. However, the two teams will lock horns today to confirm their slot in the Playoffs.
Prediction
Persija Esports has already defeated their Oceanian opposition in the competition. Moreover, the team delivered a tough fight against the tournament's favorite Paper Rex yesterday. Hence, they are indeed the favorites to win the series today.
Bonkers, however, will surely be looking to get revenge for their earlier defeat. The Oceanian champions have performed exceptionally well against Fancy United Esports and knocked them out of the competition. They will try to maintain their momentum in today's game as well.
Head-to-head
Persija Esports and Bonkers have faced each other just once, and the former has secured victory at that time.
Recent results
Persija Esports has won three of their last five games. Whereas, Bonkers have lost only once in their previous five matches. However, the loss was against today's opposition.
