ZETA DIVISION vs Gen.G Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Pacific League

The second half of this VCT Pacific Superweek commences with the ZETA DIVISION vs Gen.G matchup

This is both ZETA DIVISION and Gen.G’s last match in the Regular Season, and even though they are both in the top 6 of the standings, the loser of this game may not be able to reach the Playoffs. Therefore, with a current 4-4 record, these rosters will put their heart into bringing a different look to their second Superweek match. 

ZETA DIVISION

The Japanese had a strong start in this event – which is slowly fading away as they are now in fear of not making the Playoffs. Basically, ZETA DIVISION will have to win to not fear getting eliminated since a loss here will significantly lower their chances of moving forward. Along with great game plans, they will need their Duelist Dep consistently performing throughout the Bo3 to ensure a victory.

Gen.G

Gen.G were looking like one of the top two teams in the Pacific League with an incredible 4-0 start. However, they haven’t won any match since then and losing this one as well won’t be good news for the South Koreans as their Playoffs spot may be snatched by another squad. Their Friday match against PRX ended devastatingly on Ascent, with Gen.G only being able to score two rounds. Therefore, an immediate mental reset will be necessary to ensure they end this stage with a victory.
