Gen.G vs DFM: Who will win in VCT Pacific League 2023?

Predictions

Gen.G looked dominant in their opening series against RRQ at VCT Pacific 2023. Their unusual compositions on Fracture seemed to work well for them, with their players looking comfortable in their respective roles.

Detonation FocusMe has built a squad comprising of the best talents from across Japan and Korea, signing xnfri (formerly from Northeption), Anthem and takej from REJECT, Seoldam from Crazy Racoon, and Reita from ZETA DIVISION. While the team has not seen much success yet, it looks promising. Coming into the tournament, they are relative underdogs but have the potential to cause an upset.

Gen.G have looked strong and will be looking to get ahead of the competition with two consecutive wins under their belt.
