Rex Regum Qeon Are Warming Up
Rex Regum Qeon have had a terrible start to VCT Pacific Stage 2, losing their first three fixtures against Global Esports (0-2), ZETA DIVISION (0-2), and Gen.G (1-2). However, they have looked much improved in the final two weeks of play, beating FULL SENSE (2-1) and Nongshim RedForce (2-1).
With a 2-3 record, RRQ placed fifth in Group Alpha, below RedForce on round differential.
The late resurgence inspires some confidence that Rex Regum Qeon can make a run through the play-in stage. They still have to be properly tested, but that won’t happen until later in the stage.

Sharper Esports with a Tough Task Ahead
Sharper Esports enter the VCT Pacific Stage 2 Play-in as one of the weakest teams in the field. Despite dominating the Challengers SEA region, that success holds very little weight because the region is so weak.
On top of that, Sharper are a Challenger team, therefore a tier below half of the squads attending the Play-Ins.
Form-wise, Sharper Esports are in a great spot, having dropped just three games this entire season. Yet the question remains – do Sharper have the tools to deal with VCT teams and properly challenge tier-1 squads?
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 5 | VCL 2025 SEA Split 2 | 555 | 3-2 (W) |
| July 3 | VCL 2025 SEA Split 2 | JADE | 2-0 (W) |
| June 17 | VCL 2025 SEA Split 2 | Fancy United Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| June 5 | VCL 2025 SEA Split 2 | BOOM Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| May 29 | VCL 2025 SEA Split 2 | Trinity | 1-2 (L) |

Verdict
Sharper Esports dominated the Challengers SEA region, having dropped just three games this entire season. However, while that’s a praiseworthy accomplishment, Sharper’s success has to be taken with a grain of salt, mainly because Challengers SEA is not a particularly strong league.
Rex Regum Qeon haven’t had the best start to the stage, but have recently found serious momentum, suggesting they are back in top shape and more than ready to make a run through the Play-Ins.
In good shape and as a tier of higher calibre, Rex Regum Qeon should be able to handle Sharper Esports with ease.
