Nongshim RedForce face Rex Regum Qeon on August 9 in VCT Pacific Stage 2’s final week. RedForce are favored, holding a 1-0 head-to-head lead and displaying stronger early form. However, their recent games have exposed vulnerabilities, while RRQ, after a rough start, have shown marked improvement and upset potential. Both teams are likely to deliver a competitive clash, with RRQ highly motivated to turn their season around and challenge RedForce. Fans and bettors should expect a scrappy game that could go either way.

Nongshim RedForce vs Rex Regum Qeon Betting Predictions


Nongshim RedForce and Rex Regum Qeon are set to lock horns on Sunday, August 9, in the final week of VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 Pacific Stage 2, marking their first clash since the Pacific Kickoff, when Nongshim RedForce won.

The rematch is expected to play out the same way, as RedForce enter Sunday’s game as firm favourites. This is largely due to Rex Regum Qeon’s poor performances this stage, having failed to find any meaningful traction and head into the final week with a 1-3 record.

However, while RRQ haven’t looked amazing this stage, they have shown improvement of late, whereas RedForce have appeared shaky and somewhat unconvincing. This is a perfect recipe for a more competitive and scrappier affair that can go both ways.

  • RRQ have won just one game this stage
  • Nongshim RedForce have been slowing down
  • A scrappy game is on the cards

Nongshim RedForce Are Slowing Down


Nongshim RedForce have won two games over the first three weeks of VCT Pacific Stage 2. They lost against FULL SENSE and Gen.G in the first week and have since edged past Global Esports and ZETA DIVISION.

Against Global Esports, RedForce needed a reverse-sweep with 13-7 on Breeze and Sunset, and against ZETA DIVISION, Nongshim RedForce dropped Sunset (10-13) before picking up Breeze (15-13) and Haven (13-0).

The 13-0 on Haven is promising, but it does not take away from the fact that Nongshim RedForce came two rounds short of getting swept.

While the iffy stretch does not indicate that Nongshim RedForce are one of the worst teams in the league, their form is not perfect, and they have looked vulnerable.

Rex Regum Qeon with More to Prove


Rex Regum Qeon haven’t had the best stage, and that’s an understatement. They struggled in their first two matches against Global Esports (0-2), ZETA DIVISION (0-2), but then showed more life against Gen.G (1-2) and FULL SENSE, who they upset 2-1 last week.

Rex Regum Qeon have been shaky, but they’ve shown improvement lately, which is inspiring. And after a middling season, they should be highly motivated to deliver on Sunday and secure the No. 2 seed in Group Alpha.

Verdict

Nongshim RedForce have looked more polished this stage than Rex Regum Qeon, who were very uninspiring early in VCT Pacific Stage 2. But RRQ have shown some signs of life of late, which suggests that they could be ready to make some noise come Sunday.

While this remains RedForce’s game to lose, the pressure to perform will take its toll, and RRQ are desperate for points after failing to accomplish much. The urgency should inspire a stronger performance, giving hope that RRQ can force a closer game.
