Prediction

Neither T1 nor DetonatioN FocusMe has a stellar record, but the former's is still miles ahead. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that DFM is the worst team in Pacific, possibly even the worst in the entire franchise leagues. The squad went without a single victory in VCT Pacific last year and maintained its streak with a 0-2 run at Kickoff this year.

T1 is a much more respectable squad, with wins and losses streaked around. The team even made it to the semi-finals stage at Kickoff, falling slightly short of making it to VCT Masters Madrid.

All things considered, T1 should have a clear edge in today's matchup unless DFM has cooked up something incredible in the time since Kickoff, which will finally break its unbroken loss streak on the Pacific stage.

Ahead of the T1 vs DetonatioN FocusMe game at VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 1. the two squads have faced each other only once in an official game. This was at the Pacific League last year, where the Korean team came out with a 2-1 victory.
