Rex Regum Qeon vs Gen.G Esports Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific League

The first week of VCT 2023 Pacific concludes with two new franchise teams facing each other on stage.

Both of these teams are pretty new to this caliber of an event. While the name Gen.G has existed in the Valorant scene for a long time, they have recently moved from North America to South Korea, making a completely new roster. On the other hand, Rex Regum Qeon has been showing up to VCT OFF//SEASON tournaments and performing well. This event is a big opportunity for both teams to make themselves known and confirm a spot in this year’s biggest professional Valorant contest!

Rex Regum Qeon

Most of the world heard the acronym RRQ for the first time at LOCK//IN, where the Indonesian team was faced against FUT Esports. While RRQ was still trying to figure out what to do on the first map, they fought back on the second, scoring 11 against the Turks. This instance, along with their wins at OFF//SEASON events, prove that RRQ has what it takes to compete against the most prominent Tier 1 teams.

Gen.G Esports

After changing regions, Gen.G hasn’t had much luck in GES Asia, and they were sent on after their first game in LOCK//IN against LOUD. However, when the squad was known as On Sla2ers, they reached the finals of VCT East Asia’s LCQ. The South Koreans have what it takes for this event, and we are excited about their return from a losing streak.
