SRG also has the chance to cop two major titles in one year after previously reigning supreme in the Mid-Season Cup (MSC) 2024 when it pulled off an upset against Falcons AP. Bren.

SRG and Team Vamos will now be heading to the M6 World Championship which Malaysia will host from late November to mid-December.

Arcadia isn't the lone Filipino in SRG as the club also features two Pinoy imports in exp laner Mark "Kramm" Rusiana and gold laner John Vincent "Innocent" Banal while Team Vamos has gold laner Kenneth "Nets" Barro.

SRG is tipped to lock horns against two Philippine representatives in Fnatic Onic Philippines and Aurora.
