Before the start of VCT Pacific Stage 1, in our preview piece, we had mentioned to keep an eye on Global Esports. This was due to the performance of the team in the previous competition. They lost to Paper Rex twice, resulting in the team failing to qualify for VALORANT Masters Santiago.

In the ongoing tournament, the team has been on a winning streak, defeating the likes of Gen G and Team Secret. It must be stated that the winner of this match will qualify for the VCT Pacific Stage 1 playoffs, something which GE has never achieved.

On the other side, we have DRX. Following the signing of their academy player Kim “yong” Ho-yong, the team has been undefeated. Yong is currently the highest-rated Chamber player in VCT Pacific.

Similar to Global Esports, DRX were eliminated by Paper Rex in the previous competition. Currently, both teams sit higher than Paper Rex in Group Alpha.

One major factor for DRX performing the manner they are is due to the team’s performance on defense. The team has had a 64%-win rate on defensive rounds following the spike being planted. One of the reasons for this is the team’s clinical approach of using abilities on the post-plant.

Betting picks and predictions

Going into this match between DRX and Global Esports, both teams are undefeated in VCT Pacific Stage 1. Surprisingly, the betting websites still believe that DRX are the favorites to win this match.

One important reason for this is that Global Esports has never defeated DRX.

Another reason is that DRX haven’t even lost a single map against them. This is quite the one-sided dominance we have between the two teams from the VCT Pacific region.

One aspect that works in favor of DRX is their high win rate of 61% on pistol rounds in the VCT 2026 season.

According to us, in this series, Global Esports will win the match 2-1. If DRX gets the first map, then we believe that the odds of Global Esports completing the reverse sweep are low but not impossible.
