DRX vs Gen.G - Which team will qualify for Masters Madrid through VCT Pacific Kickoff?
Predictions
DRX has been one of the most consistent teams in the Pacific region. Despite delivering decent performances last year, the team decided to make major changes in the roster. They pushed their sixth player, Foxy9, and academy graduate, Flashback, to the main lineup. So far, the team has shown promising results and blazed through their competition to reach the Playoffs.
Gen.G also made a huge amount of changes to their roster. By bringing in t3xture, Munchkin, lakia, and Karon, the team has built a formidable lineup. This new iteration of Gen.G has suffered just a single loss in the Kickoff event so far and can be a dark horse in the upcoming matches.
The VCT matchup between DRX and Gen.G favors the former due to the team's core having a lot more experience and consistency. However, Gen.G also boasts insanely talented players who can give DRX a run for their money.
Head-to-head
DRX and Gen.G have faced each other a couple of times before. Their most recent match was during the VCT Pacific League last year, where DRX won the Bo3 (Best-of-three) series with a 2-1 scoreline.
Recent results
