Match Prediction: Global Esports - DRX | VALORANT

Global Esports and DRX will play in the second round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League group stage. I don't think there is any intrigue here, as the South Koreans are objectively stronger than the hodgepodge.

And it's hard to berate Global Esports in terms of play, but as a team it's downright disappointing. Against this background, the South Korean team has all the cards in hand, and logically everything tilts towards defeat.

So here I would look at the smashing victory of the DRX team, which is already two heads stronger than Global Esports, which started the championship with a loss.

I do not see the intrigue in this match because everyone is aware of the possibilities DRX. In turn, for Global Esports there are big questions, although the guys are really trying.
