Velocity Gaming and Oblivion Force are in Group-D of the APAC Stage-1 Challengers. South Built Esports and Full Sense are also in the same group, who are waiting for their first game on March 17.
Velocity Gaming and Oblivion Force: Who will start their VCT APAC Stage-1 Challengers campaign with a victory?
Velocity Gaming qualified for the APAC Stage-1 Challengers after becoming the champions of the Valorant Conquerors Championship. They're now South Asia's last hope in the competition after Global Esports' departure from the Play-Ins.
Whereas, Oblivion Force was the champions of the Hong Kong & Taiwan Challengers and qualified for the main event.
The two teams will face each other in a best-of-three series tomorrow in their first game of the VCT APAC Stage-1 Challengers.
Prediction:
Considering their form and experience, Oblivion Force has a greater chance of winning the match against their South Asian side tomorrow. The mechanical skillset of the Hong Kong side could be influential in tomorrow's game.
However, Velocity Gaming has a great balance of experience and firepower in their squad. Debanjan "Deathmaker" Das's mechanical skills and Anuj "Amaterasu" Sharma & Tejas "Rite2Ace" Sawant's experience can help the team pull off an upset.
Velocity Gaming's strategic gameplay will be instrumental to counter Oblivion Force's playstyle tomorrow.
