RSG Singapore ended the group stages with a 2-1 record, just behind Indonesian squad RRQ which swept Group D with a clean 3-0 slate.

"We actually learned a lot in the game. The way RRQ plays is different so I think split-pushing will be better," ly4ly4ly4 said, when asked what preparations they will do ahead of their fight with the Filipino squad.

RSG Singapore and Onic PH will face each other at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.
