Pasig Chooks-to-Go will be ranked no. 24 when it fields a tried and tested lineup in the 2019 FIBA 3X3 Tinkoff Moscow Challenger, which will be held from on June 7 to 8 in Russia.

Team Pasig will be competing with Balanga Chooks-to-Go, which has enlisted a new player. 

The trio of Joshua Munzon, Nikola Pavlovic, and Taylor Statham, the 89th, 90th, and 91st FIBA 3×3 players in the world, are playing for Pasig.

They will also have Dylan Ababou, who is the 12th-ranked player in the Philippines.

Pasig is seeking a chance to bounce back from its winless campaign in the 2019 Kunshan Challenger last May.

Team owner Ronald Mascariñas said the players are mentally and physically ready for this tournament as they try to rebound from their two big setbacks in Kunshan.

Balanga Chooks-to-Go is in the tournament as a FIBA wildcard.

They will still have the trio of Alvin Pasaol, Travis Franklin, and Karl Dehesa.

The fourth member of the team is Valenzuela shooter Chris Dechavez.

Pasig is in Group Round 2-B together with world no. 3 Riga Ghetto and Belgium's Antwerp.

On the other hand, Balanga has to go through a qualifying tournament before making it to the tournament proper.
