Predictions
ZETA Division have a long history in the VCT backing them up. They have been the premier Japanese team in the circuit for the longest time and boast players like SugarZ3ro and crow, who are standouts in their respective roles.
For some reason, ZETA Division are yet to find their footing outside of regional competition. However, they do have the potential to become a solid team on the international stage.
Meanwhile, Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) faced a lot of criticism in the initial days of the partnership model with Riot Games for importing players from abroad instead of making space for regional talent.
Fans hoped that the criticism would be answered by stellar performances, but that has not been the case. Having said that, RRQ are considered underdogs with the potential to cause an upset at any given moment.
All things considered, this matchup should go the way of ZETA DIVISION. This prediction is based on their recent encounter with DRX, which they only fell short of winning because of the immense talent of their opponents.
