Team Secret vs DRX Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific League

The Team Secret vs DRX matchup will be the second-ever encounter between these squads

This game is likely going to be another domination from the South Korean roster unless Team Secret can manage to break DRX’s long win streak. These squads have met each other once before on the Grand Final of Daejeon Valorant Invitational, where DRX got a 2-0 win by dominating both of the maps. However, the South-East Asians will be doing their best to not repeat history as losing this game may demolish their chances to make it to the Playoffs.

Team Secret

While the Filipinos had a good 2-0 start in this event, they have lost their charm in recent weeks facing defeats in most of their games. Currently, Team Secret have a 3-4 record in the Pacific League, which means they can still hope to take the flag of the Philippines to the Playoffs. Winning against DRX may not be an option, but the least JessieVash can do is to lead his squad to take as many rounds as possible to get better round differential points, which can be the only way to make it to the next stage for this roster!

DRX

Seven wins and zero losses – that’s how you can describe the South Koreans’ journey in a single sentence. They are looking like LOUD and Fnatic from the rest of the VCT Leagues, with a plan to win all nine of their Regular Stage matches. It has also been incredible to see MaKo dominate on Controller roles, while most other teams of this caliber have been depending on their Duelist players.
