TSM vs Shopify Rebellion Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Split 2

The TSM vs Shopify Rebellion match will be these teams’ first encounter in the North American Challengers League

TSM is the favorite squad against Shopify Rebellion in this matchup. However, we may see a different side of SR after former Cloud9 player vanity takes up the role of IGL for the roster. Here are our previews and predictions of this matchup as we go through Week 6 of Split.

TSM

TSM is coming to this game with a 5-3 record throughout the VCL NA. The roster had tough luck in the Mid-Season Face Off as they got disqualified by Oxygen Esports in the lowers. Nonetheless, they are looking better than their past performance and are hoping to become a franchised team once again.

Shopify Rebellion

After the acquisition of vanity, it’s going to be interesting to see what Shopify Rebellion will bring onto the table for this match. This team didn’t have a lot to show during Split 1, as the roster only won a single series out of five games. The roster couldn’t make it to the Mid-Season Face Off, so this matchup will be a month since they last competed.
