Prediction
Gen.G is currently the best Valorant team in the world. This roster has reached the top two of every event while also managing to win the Pacific region its first-ever international trophy in the Masters Shanghai. Each player on this roster is incredibly talented and can carry the match alone. Gen.G has set the bar high for VCT teams in the 2024 season.
DRX has always been a top team. However, 2024 saw the side struggle for a while. Despite having great regional performances, this new roster would always miss out on international events.
