DRX vs Attacking Soul Esports Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Masters Tokyo

Group B’s DRX vs Attacking Soul Esports opening match will be the first encounter between these South Korean and Chinese contenders

Another Masters stage is nothing new for DRX, as the South Koreans have attended many such LANs where we have seen them reach great heights. Attacking Soul Esports, on the other hand, are coming to their first-ever international event after spending more of their Valorant journey in B-tier events. Here are our predictions on this first-ever encounter at Masters Tokyo.

DRX

After an outstanding 8-1 Regular Season, the South Koreans are taken aback by their failure to win the Grand Final. Kim “MaKo” Myeong-kwan, one of DRX’s outstanding players, has had the largest effect at VCT Pacific, even on Controller roles. We will go so far as saying he will be one of the best players in this competition. Jung “Foxy9” Jae-sung, a novice, had his moments but did not shine brightly in Duelist roles.

Attacking Soul Esports

Attacking Soul Esports has become one of China’s top competitors after winning the FGC Act 1 with an astonishing 9-1 record. Masters Tokyo will be their first-ever debut in an international Valorant tournament – making it hard to expect anything from this squad as the new challenger intends to spice up the event. Keep a look out for Duelist Qu “Life” Donghao on this prospective team’s lineup since he was the squad’s most aggressive player in the FGC event.
