Drop your teams below and I'll reply!
I'll start for DRX.
Pro: We currently have our strongest roster ever, in terms of firepower.
Con: Serial bottlers who always fold in the pressure...
GlitchGull [#3]Gen.G
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.
LakiaOfValorant [#5]Since someone said Gen G already, EDG
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.
Wunkey [#7]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.
Lmaooo💀
smthlikeyou11 [#6]prx
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.
thatpower [#8]imo drx 2024 had the best firepower but i didn't really watch the new iteration play
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.
SOURVLRT [#9]GE
Pro: Indians are cool and I'm glad there is a team to represent them.
Con: That team is GE...
Wunkey [#14]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.
You forgot about sen. Sg prx fans are normal.
Wunkey [#14]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.
i'll add that they do seem to be a little more disciplined than they used to be while keeping their style, i'm not sure that'll be enough but i have more hope than last year for PRX.
vollizie [#12]G2
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.
Wunkey [#4]Pro: Greatest team of all time.
Con: You lost to BBL to start 2025.
the contrast is crazy 🙏😭
Cryptic88 [#17]You forgot about sen. Sg prx fans are normal.
I like PRX as our little brother team but the way their fanbase handled the Flashback drama really pissed me off...
glittering_yard [#13]MIBR
Pro: You have aspas.
Con: He'll be knocked out of Americas Kickoff with the rest of MIBR in just a few days, unfortunately.
Cryptic88 [#19]Nrg
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.
Wunkey [#16]Pro: Indians are cool and I'm glad there is a team to represent them.
Con: That team is GE...
Thats f'ed up 🤣
Wunkey [#23]I like PRX as our little brother team but the way their fanbase handled the Flashback drama really pissed me off...
I dont have twitter so i dont really know about prx fan response but i think everyone should have just respected his privacy and let him figure his own situation out
Wunkey [#24]Pro: You have aspas.
Con: He'll be knocked out of Americas Kickoff with the rest of MIBR in just a few days, unfortunately.
atleast we have aspas 😌
trikecycle [#25]Wolves
Pro: We currently have our strongest roster ever, in terms of firepower.
Con: Serial bottlers who always fold in the pressure...
that split was sad to watch
trikecycle [#25]Wolves
Pro: We currently have our strongest roster ever, in terms of firepower.
Con: Serial bottlers who always fold in the pressure...
Con: tmv tricked me into thinking wolves was good and i have gotten everything other than the wolves matches right in my pickems
trikecycle [#25]Wolves
Pro: We currently have our strongest roster ever, in terms of firepower.
Con: Serial bottlers who always fold in the pressure...
Pro: Their football team has Hwang Hee-chan.
Con: In a relegation battle...
Wunkey [#7]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.
GenG Con : You lost to Sen when it mattered the most.
Wunkey [#30]Pro: I like their logo.
Con: Are they even active anymore?
I think they got absorbed into sr
Wunkey [#16]Pro: Indians are cool and I'm glad there is a team to represent them.
Con: That team is GE...
if drx loses to GE, you better drop that flair
cameran [#28]sen
Pro: You win trophies.
Con: You'll get cyberbullied by the fanbase if you mention SEN 22 - 23...
Cryptic88 [#36]I think they got absorbed into sr
Pro: Their Game Changers squad is good.
Con: Their main team is led by a fried chicken shop, BcJ.
SOURVLRT [#37]if drx loses to GE, you better drop that flair
Hey, I really do think GE have a good shot at beating TLN. However, GE will likely never meet DRX in Kickoff...
Cryptic88 [#29]I dont have twitter so i dont really know about prx fan response but i think everyone should have just respected his privacy and let him figure his own situation out
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.
Wunkey [#23]I like PRX as our little brother team but the way their fanbase handled the Flashback drama really pissed me off...
What this about flashback drama I just heard it rn, I am prx fans, can you tell me?
Prathades [#41]Pro: We currently have our strongest roster ever, in terms of firepower.
Almost every team right now
Fair enough. However, I do think we have one of the more mechanically gifted teams. Really promising side.
cameran [#28]sen
Pro : They are good at learning from their mistakes fast ( I.E MASSIVE loss against GEN G in madrid before playing them again in grand finals and winning)
Con : The fandom is insufferable (and slightly off topic, that new jersey is horrid)
vanssr [#44]What this about flashback drama I just heard it rn, I am prx fans, can you tell me?
He basically had sex with an underage girl when he was also underage if im not wrong
Disastered [#42]team secret
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.
Wunkey [#48]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.
ill keep dreaming
vanssr [#44]What this about flashback drama I just heard it rn, I am prx fans, can you tell me?
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.
putan [#50]DFM
Pro: I predicted you to do well in Pacific Kickoff.
Con: I didn't expect you to lose to RRQ immediately, though...
highlyte [#51]ZETA
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...?
Wunkey [#38]Pro: You win trophies.
Con: You'll get cyberbullied by the fanbase if you mention SEN 22 - 23...
now that con is actually the most accurate one ive seen
mustafais [#53]Heretics. Unfortunately we all know what the con is
Pro: Undeniably amazing squad.
Con: You denied Korean fans the opportunity to see DRX on the big stage at Champions Seoul 2024...
mustafais [#53]Heretics. Unfortunately we all know what the con is
Don't worry, I picked a different con.
Wunkey [#58]Pro: Undeniably amazing squad.
Con: You denied Korean fans the opportunity to see DRX on the big stage at Champions Seoul 2024...
👌
mustafais [#53]Heretics. Unfortunately we all know what the con is
Pro: young players who haven’t peaked
Con: you employ b00b and all your players suck and your org is shit and u have no fans and your branding sucks and I hate your team :P and you’re chokers who will never lift a trophy
mustafais [#53]Heretics. Unfortunately we all know what the con is
Pro : Really good players
Con : They don't do well under pressure and seem to consistently lose their composure when they're close to winning.
I hope they will win something this year, i think they might benefit from working on their mental even more than working on their gameplay.
ButterflyEffect23 [#61]T1
Pro: Better roster on paper than DRX.
Con: Better roster on paper than DRX.
putan [#50]DFM
Pro : Meyi
Con : That roster is still relatively young, i think they haven't found their footing quite yet. We could see something better from them in the future.
Pmka1 [#68]Nongshim
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.
Pmka1 [#68]Nongshim
Pro : Expected nothing amazing, was pleasantly surprised, they look promising.
Con : I haven't seen enough of them yet to get a clear picture of where they stand against the rest of Pacific, so i can't give cons as of right now.
Wunkey [#15]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.
free1ng was a top 2 player in kr challengers as well
merciless-pity8989-89 [#72]free1ng was a top 2 player in kr challengers as well
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.
Wall_Bug [#74]100T
Pro : Team looks pretty good so far this year
Con : Personal opinion, but i cannot stand boostio.
Zakariya [#73]LOUD
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.
Wall_Bug [#74]100T
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.
n1cf [#78]FUT, their highs is high as fuck but their lows...
Pro: I like Türkiye.
Con: Worst Tier 1 team from Türkiye now, unfortunately.
Wunkey [#65]Pro: Better roster on paper than DRX.
Con: Better roster on paper than DRX.
I would pay money to not see this take again
afreespirit [#80]Talon
PROmmie
Con: everything else (including coach)
Pro: Cooked DRX during off season.

auntymarrie those who know
Wunkey [#85]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.
today is gonna be so hype 😭
LakiaOfValorant [#89]No one said it and i'm curious so, RRQ?
Pro: Jemkin discovered steroids.
Con: I don't think he's shared them with the rest of the team just yet.
zappp [#92]c9
Pro: I never doubted your win against NRG.
Con: I never doubted your loss against G2.
Gemiknight [#95]since g2 is taken. what about EG?
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.

create a league separated from Pacific, like China
sorry to pop your bubble but its not as easy as it sounds.

Don‘t worry I’m not actually that delusional…
z12 [#100]what are your thoughts on trace(🐐 ) esports?
Pro: Historical Champions Seoul 2024 run.
Con: You cooked DRX during off season.
Wunkey [#40]Hey, I really do think GE have a good shot at beating TLN. However, GE will likely never meet DRX in Kickoff...
