Rex Regum Qeon vs. Paper Rex Betting Analysis
According to the latest odds offered on the Rex Regum vs Paper Rex matchup, Paper Rex should win, and that makes sense. They’ve lost just two games this season and are on a four-game winning streak, whereas RRQ have won just four.
Paper Rex Should Win
Paper Rex are considered as one of the best teams in the league, and rightly so. They’ve not lost a single game since Week 4; even that loss came against DRX.
Since then, they’ve beaten teams we could consider to be stronger than RRQ, so the natural conclusion when making esports picks for this match is that PR should do well against RRQ.
Regum Qeon Can Cause Problems
Rex Regum Qeon are viewed as heavy underdogs for this match, which is understandable considering the fact that they’ve not beaten a top-tier team yet. Still, RRQ have been improving lately and couldn’t be ignored.
In their wins against Global Esports (2-0) and Talon Esports (2-1), RRQ looked solid, and if they can keep the momentum going, Rex Regum Qeon could be competitive on Tuesday.
Updates
There are no notable roster changes or other developments for either team.
Rex Regum Qeon vs. Paper Rex Betting Preview
If we follow the offered betting odds, the obvious way to approach making a Rex Regum vs Paper Rex prediction is to bet on Paper Rex. However, at the offered price, it’s tough to justify that.
RP have looked better than RRQ this season, but there wasn’t much to separate them lately. Moreover, PR are a bit inconsistent in their games, which could expose them to QRR, who desperately need to win on Tuesday.
Rex Regum Qeon vs. Paper Rex Betting Prediction
Understandably, Rex Regum Qeon are considered heavy underdogs for this match, but at the offered betting odds, it makes sense to bet on them with a map handicap. They’ve shown improvement lately and even took a map from DRX, which is nothing to sneeze at.
PR, on the other side, dropped maps against Global Esports and Talon Esports, and if that’s any indication, they can easily lose a map against QRR as well.
Prediction: Rex Regum Qeon +1.5 maps at +100
