At the end of the domestic Challengers, the leading teams in Southeast Asia will enter the competition at VCT: Sea Stage 3 Challengers Play-off from 12 to 22/8. On August 9, the Organizing Committee announced the draw results of the table and the No. 1 hope of Valorant Vietnam, the Big Baam team, fell into a relatively difficult group.
Specifically, Crazyguy and his teammates have to cope with the X10 Esports, the most appreciated team at the Sea Play-off, and at the same time, it is likely to enter the final final. The other two rivals of Baam are Galaxy Racer (Philippines) and Boom Esports (Indonesia). For fans, Boom Esports is no longer a strange name that has been in Sea Play-off in Stage 2.
Compared to Baam, the Challengers 3 champion of Vietnam, Ego, is easier to breathe. Accordingly, Ego will be in Group A with BREN ESPORTS (Philippines), CBT Gaming (Taipei China) and finally Sharper Esports of Thailand. In fact, in terms of experience in major tournaments, BRE and CBT are slightly better than EGO.
However, at the Sea Play-off Stage 2, both Brre and CBT did not show too impressive, if they did not want to identify nothing outstanding. Playing with the same form as in Challengers 3, EGO is completely capable of going on. In another development, the remaining representative of Vietnam, Cerberus Esports, will be in Group D and this is a relatively pleasant group.
In fact, CES has confronted with the leading teams in Southeast Asia and the teams that the “god” is about to face only once to attend the regional tournament including Uwu (Taipei China), After Ego (Indonesia) and Oasis Gaming (Philippines). This will be an opportunity for CES to confirm the strength and win one of the two tickets to go on the next round.
16 teams will compete in the group stage and play with BO2 format in 3 days from 12 to 15/8 to choose the 8 best names to enter the knockout round. In the knockout stage, the teams will play in the formula of the winning branch – the losing branch and the matches takes place in the BO3 format. Two teams entering the final will win the Masters 3 performance in Berlin in September.
