The Esports World Cup 2025 is on its Quarterfinals stage now, and July 31 brings a high-stakes Best-of-5 between two hungry squads: RRQ and SRG.OG. Both teams are coming off intense series and looking sharper than ever, but only one will stay on the path to the Semifinals.

Match Overview

RRQ 

RRQ has reasserted themselves as serious contenders in this tournament. Their performance has been defined by resilience and the resurgence of Dyrennn, who’s taken charge in the EXP Lane.

Known for his aggressive laning and fearless engages, Dyrennn is the glue holding RRQ’s front line together. Whether he’s on Terizla, Lapu-Lapu, or Fredrinn, he creates the space for RRQ to breathe and control fights. With veterans like Clayyy and Skylar behind him, Dyrennn’s presence has become RRQ’s win condition.

Strengths:

• Dyrennn’s proactive EXP lane control
• Clean macro and experience in tight series
• Well-rounded teamfighting

SRG.OG 

SRG.OG has become the pride of its region, storming through the bracket with fearless aggression and sharp rotations. At the heart of their climb is Innocent, their gold laner who’s been a consistent source of damage and late-game security.

Innocent excels in lane control, farming efficiency, and teamfight positioning. In their 3:2 win last round, his Beatrix and Claude made the difference in key moments. If RRQ fails to shut him down, SRG can easily scale and punish with surgical precision.

Strengths:

• Innocent’s carry potential in extended fights
• Balanced aggression and disciplined shotcalling
• High morale and regional momentum

The Main Matchup: Dyrennn vs Innocent

It’s a clash of roles with massive impact: Dyrennn’s initiation vs Innocent’s survival. The match could tilt based on who executes their role better, if Dyrennn dominates the EXP lane and forces fights SRG.OG doesn’t want, RRQ can set the tone. But if Innocent gets farm and space, SRG.OG’s late-game teamfights will become deadly.

Expect RRQ to test their oponent's side lane discipline early while SRG.OG tries to stall and scale behind their gold laner’s damage.

Prediction

This is a close matchup that could go either way. SRG.OG has strong momentum, with Innocent leading as their main damage threat and the team playing with confidence. But RRQ’s experience in high-pressure BO5s and Dyrennn’s dominance in the EXP lane give them a slight edge.

If RRQ controls the tempo and avoids giving SRG.OG early-game openings, they should outlast them in late-game teamfights. Still, expect SRG to take games off them with aggressive drafts and fast execution. So I predict that RRQ will beat SRG.OG with a score of 3:2.

With a Semifinals spot on the line, both teams will need to bring their very best. RRQ has the edge in experience, but if SRG.OG maintains composure and capitalizes on early-game openings, this series could go the distance.
