Well that's a nice dilemma - both look pretty good.

Predator has larger screen (31 vs 27 inch) and VA panel technology (some would regard as superior to TN panel technology of the ROG).
ROG has faster grey to grey response time (1 ms vs Predator 4 ms, though some are cautious about the GTG metric).
Prices fairly similar.
You should probably try to sit down at both in a shop if possible and try them out - see if you have a strong personal response re the panel technology (some reviewers complain a lot about TN on some models, colour and image quality from an angle issues).

Based on specs alone I would be leaning to the Asus ROG (I would be happy with the TN, esp. for my gaming setup, to get the faster response time).

But I think it's...

But I think it's a pretty difficult call, and others would no doubt have strongly divergent opinions.

At the moment im using a Asus MG248Q 1080p 144hz TN monitor, and i never used a IPS and i dont have chance to test it before buying.TN looks good to me but IPS are better in all reviews i saw so far.So i still dont know wich one to choose.Btw im using a gtx 1070.
 

True, though the Preditor is VA not IPS, though again most reviewers also rate VA above TN .
I don't think you can go wrong either way, but, without having actually looked at the screens, I would see the GTG difference as more important for gaming than the panel technology and screen size (especially as you are OK with TN on your current monitor).
Good luck.
