Pro: C0M is the best initiator in Americas.
Con: You wasted 2024 when you had aspas by failing to win any international events.

That‘s what makes it beautiful. No better feeling than wanting to rip your hair out during the match but eventually coming out on top. But playing a perfect game and completely outclassing your opponent is nice, too.

HYUNMIN vs. BuZz. I need it. We all need it.

I said Korea owns Pacific. Even if DRX lost that would hold true because NS are Korean… Some people on this website are way too pressed.

Beautiful. Both games. So many doubted DRX and T1, too. Korea owns Pacific.

It really sucks we couldn‘t abuse Neon. Everytime BuZz played Neon he would get diffed and we ended up losing the map.

Pro: Historical Champions Seoul 2024 run.
Con: You cooked DRX during off season.

We were really robbed of the chance to play in front of the Korean fans on the big stage… MiniBoo on Neon haunts me…

Don‘t worry I’m not actually that delusional…

Pro: You won Champions Los Angeles 2023.
Con: At that very event, I still remember how DRX lost to EG. I was so determined to prove everyone wrong by saying that DRX are the best Fracture team in the world. However, the game was so chaotic. I swear I had nightmares of us getting knifed, jawgemo double satcheling and literally one tapping players while midair, and the times when we got spammed through smokes.

I don't remember the last time we've lost right off the bat. We're more of a lose-later-when-it-actually-matters type of team, you know?

Pro: I never doubted your win against NRG.
Con: I never doubted your loss against G2.

Pro: I once had a friend named Karmine.
Con: We are no longer friends.

Pro: Jemkin discovered steroids.
Con: I don't think he's shared them with the rest of the team just yet.

I do remember the way we beat PRX last year was by being equally aggressive. I'm really curious how this will go.

I have no doubt we win this match. However, if DRX end up facing NS in a lower final match, we will definitely bottle it.

Those Twitter fangirls scare me...

Don't worry, I actually think DRX are better on paper than T1. I was just appeasing to the masses by being attempting to be humorous.

Pro: Cooked DRX during off season.
Con: Cooked DRX during off season.

Pro: I like Türkiye.
Con: Worst Tier 1 team from Türkiye now, unfortunately.

Pro: Congratulations, you will not be heading out of Americas Kickoff early. Lucky to be facing off against a senior citizen.
Con: SEN own you and you'll be reminded of it even just a day after another defeat to them.

Pro: You have already exceeded my expectations by beating EG.
Con: Unfortunately, your bottling of LOCK//IN São Paulo 2023 will continue to haunt you.

You're right, he definitely deserves to be mentioned. He was by far the best player in China Ascension last year, too. You would never expect a non-duelist to drop the same numbers as free1ng.

Pro: They're the start to a Korean revolution. We'll consistently win Ascension and create a league separated from Pacific, like China.
Con: You may cook DRX momentarily and I'm nervous.

Everyone knows...

Pro: Better roster on paper than DRX.
Con: Better roster on paper than DRX.

You thought you could get away with it? Win a trophy, mate.

Don't worry, I picked a different con.

Pro: Undeniably amazing squad.
Con: You denied Korean fans the opportunity to see DRX on the big stage at Champions Seoul 2024...

Pro: Masters Reykjavík 2022 was a miraculous run.
Con: However, I still have war flashbacks... It should've been us... How did you beat us...?

Pro: I predicted you to do well in Pacific Kickoff.
Con: I didn't expect you to lose to RRQ immediately, though...

There were accusations against Flashback, a few days before Champions Seoul 2024 started. While the situation was being professionally handled, many PRX fans took to social media to express their incredibly biased opinions. They slandered Flashback and called for him to be immediately removed from the team. Later, his name was cleared.

Some speculated that these reactions occurred due to DRX reverse sweeping PRX or because they wanted DRX to be weak immediately before an international event. While I do believe that these are a stretch, it still really hit me. The fanbase of the team that DRX considers brothers turned on us so quickly.

Pro: Filipinos are cool and I'm glad there is a team to represent them.
Con: I'm sorry but I genuinely believe TS may be close to the weakest Pacific team on paper.

Fair enough. However, I do think we have one of the more mechanically gifted teams. Really promising side.

I think it is a bit of a stretch to say those reactions came from DRX reverse sweeping PRX. However, it really seemed like many people were unnecessarily and irrationally trying to force the situation without conclusive evidence.

Hey, I really do think GE have a good shot at beating TLN. However, GE will likely never meet DRX in Kickoff...

Pro: Their Game Changers squad is good.
Con: Their main team is led by a fried chicken shop, BcJ.

Pro: You win trophies.
Con: You'll get cyberbullied by the fanbase if you mention SEN 22 - 23...

Pro: Their football team has Hwang Hee-chan.
Con: In a relegation battle...

Pro: I like their logo.
Con: Are they even active anymore?

Pro: One of the most talented, most promising rosters in the world.
Con: It's being led by FNS, who I have slandered for years and will not be hearing him out.

Pro: You have aspas.
Con: He'll be knocked out of Americas Kickoff with the rest of MIBR in just a few days, unfortunately.

I like PRX as our little brother team but the way their fanbase handled the Flashback drama really pissed me off...

Pro: Amazing management and I have you as the team to win Americas Kickoff.
Con: You kept ruining my 2024 Pick'ems by being fraudulent at times.

Pro: Indians are cool and I'm glad there is a team to represent them.
Con: That team is GE...

MaKo, Flashback, and HYUNMIN all have insane aim. Although I love BuZz, HYUNMIN feels like an upgrade in terms of pure mechanics. Foxy9 was great at times but inconsistent.

Pro: I like Jinggg and I'm sure he'll prove everyone wrong, especially with this new PRX transformation.
Con: Quite possibly the worst fanbase in all of VCT.

Pro: EDG won the most competitive VCT international event of all time.
Con: In doing so, however, Korea didn't get to lift the trophy on their own soil in Seoul.

Pro: You won Pacific's first international event.
Con: In doing so, however, I'm slightly upset that you took the Korean crown from DRX.

Pro: Greatest team of all time.
Con: You lost to BBL to start 2025.
