Gen.G vs DRX - Which team will win this match in VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1?
Predictions
Gen.G's rise to the top of VCT in 2024 has been amazing. The new roster has led to the rise of some of the best players in the world. Although the team enjoyed an impressive run at VCT Masters Madrid, it has subsequently been exposed to a lot more threats.
After an underwhelming showing in the Kickoff, DRX's roster has turned a new leaf in Stage 1. Bringing a different playstyle and the introduction of two rookies, DRX became the only undefeated team coming into the Pacific Stage 1 Playoffs. Despite facing elimination, it is still among the strongest lineups in the region.
This matchup featuring Gen.G vs DRX favors the latter owing to its remarkable performances. However, Gen G is a team that won't roll over by any means.
Head-to-head
These teams have faced each other on multiple occasions. Their most recent matchup was during the Group stage of VCT Pacific 2024 Stage 1 where DRX clinched the Bo3 series with a 2-1 scoreline.
