DRX

DRX, a team consistently securing top placements in international events, has yet to clinch a major trophy. After qualifying for the playoffs with victories over tournament favorites LOUD and NAVI, the Korean powerhouse appears determined to break their title drought. Staring their campaign against the dark horse of the event, Bilibili Gaming, DRX remain a favorite in the matchup.

Bilibili Gaming

After what we witnessed in the NRG Esports matchup, it is hard to consider Bilibili Gaming an underdog anymore, regardless of the opponent. Their first playoff confrontation is against a team renowned for its exceptional coordination in gameplay. How Whzy and Co, with their unorthodox and uber-aggressive playstyle, fares against a team like DRX will be interesting to see.
