DISCLAIMER : THIS THREAD WAS CREATED BASED ON TEAM'S PERFORMANCE DURING OFF SEASON AND AFTER VCT LOCK//IN 2023, IM SORRY IF THIS THREAD KINDA BIASED FOR SOME REASON LMFAO

• Detonation FocusMe : Bad Off-Season, bad performance too in LOCK//IN, This team is a doubtful team I was ever seen, I don't know if they don't take it seriously in Off-Season and LOCK//IN for saving some strats later in League, or maybe still finding the best gameplay. They have many times to fix that.
• DRX : One of three teams that will get a chance to go to the Master Tokyo, has an excellent performance in the Off-Season which proves that this team is mature in terms of player composition their tactics. In LOCK//IN, DRX represents a Pacific for playing in Playoff, despite losing to Loud with a score of 2-3, DRX's performance can't be underestimated. I see Foxy9 as a 6th man in DRX during Off-Season, I think this guy was very freaking terrifying, as a 6th man, the gameplay that he gave is very awesome, and can be BuZz's perfect sub.
• Gen.G : Starting Off-Season with a good performance, and should go home early, they facing Loud, and despite their loss, their performance isn't bad enough, there's room for improvement. They can do fragging despite losing to Loud, I think GenG will be another team obstacle for a strong team. SecRet's departure from the team and arrival from Sylvan and GodDead bring a fresh environment.
• Global Esports : Have a 'unique' players composition that is dominated by Duelist. Players who are not designated as duelists must assume a new role. During LOCK//IN, they play with their different roles, Monyet as a Controller, Bazzi and SkRossi as an Initiator, AYRIN, and t3xture still being as a Sentinel and Duelist. Their problem is how to get rid SkRossi's bad habit of buying OP every buy round that doesn't have any positive impact. Bazzi is still not fully able to play well in his new role. Credit to Monyet who can easily adapt to his role and t3xture with his Jett can do well.
• RRQ : As Indonesian fans, this team has so many mistakes that must be evaluated. Therefore, there's so much doubt from Indonesian fans about their roster, I don't think they still want to compete in Valorant Pacific League. Have a pretty good performance during Off-Season, and then get a loss against FUT Esports. EJAY's up-and-down performance can be an obstacle for RRQ, and the rest of the players have a good play in standard but there are so many mistakes to be evaluated.
• T1 : I can't be describing what happened with T1, maybe their fate is the same as RRQ, lack of player composition. SayaPlayer cant brings a good impact. A horrible loss in LOCK//IN against FURIA can make this team must change from their player's composition to gameplay, a swap between Beomjun and iNTRO, I think these two players have similar gameplay, but let's see.
• Talon Esports : Thailand Supremacy is back! Their performance is still awesome even better than Xerxia Era. Additions to the players with the return of Patiphan and garnetS and JitBoyS as new members. Can trust me to challenge DRX to be a top team.
• Team Secret : I think this team was kinda interesting for me, there are 3 veterans but can compete. Starting from slaughtering Liquid, and losing against NaVi with ex FPX roster + cNed. They can bring back their performance like a past ago. The 3 veterans have a job guiding 3 young players to hone their mental.
• Paper Rex : Although PRX won India Invitational, PRX doesn't have a good performance in LOCK//IN while getting demolished by C9, I have the feeling that they must change their game style. I already guessed they must do that since they lose against FPX in Final VCT Copenhagen. A new name like Cgrs that I watched him on ONE Pro Invitational in Japan. He has a similar game style to Paper Rex, so he's a good 6th man for PRX. I hope that PRX can change immediately.
• Zeta Division: This team can't prove anymore, but there's a bright future for them. I can see that they can surprise us as they did at the previous VCT Event. Lose against Leviatan but they have another progress for that.

There's the review from me, and this is my prediction about VCT Pacific's Leaderboard :

1. DRX
2. Talon Esports
3. Paper Rex
4. Zeta Division
5. Gen.G
6. Team Secret
7. Global Esports
8. T1
9. RRQ
10. Detonation FocusMe

I wanna say "aint readin allat 😂😂😂" but you put too much effort in this so W post

aint readin allat

After I saw GE not at bot, I ain't reading allat 🗿

My Blind Prediction:

1. DRX
2. Talon Esports
3. flair checks out
4. Paper Rex
5. Team Secret
6. Zeta Division
7. RRQ
8. GenG
9. T1
10. Detonantion FocusME

I think Gen.G really has a chance of qualifying if sylvan and or goddead play well. Also I love zeta but I don’t know if they will be able to finish 4th because they have looked pretty shaky since their run at masters 1

My prediction will be:

1. DRX
2. Paper Rex
3. Talon Esports
4. Zeta Division
5. T1
6. Team Secret
7. Global Esports
8. Gen.G
9. RRQ
10. Detonation FocusMe

Surely Zeta and GenG are above Prx? Zeta beat Prx in the off-season and GenG looked better against a much harder opponent.

There's no way Skrossi's buying OP in buy rounds on his own accord lol. Its what they are practicing in scrims, its ayrin strats. Its not ranked where you just buy OP if you have the money

niat bgt bro😭

Let’s go talon!!!!!!!!!!!

My Prediction:

1. DRX
2. TLN
3. ZETA
4. PRX

heres what i want to say -
this franchising is a world class international thing right? where you are supposed to be the best in the world, i mean it a chance of a lifetime for many, to compete in a world league that too on the top, but there are many teams, not only from pacific but also the other regions, which i think are not taking it too seriously, i mean the level of seriousness it holds, cmon, you are among the only 30 teams that too globally, are you understand the seriousness?

there are pretty washed players, still playing in the league who had a bad time playing the game since it launched, same, bad teams,(not organisation wise, but the players they took) who do not deserve to be at the top.

i am not fanboying thinking that one of my favorite players didnt make franchising, its just there are way better players out there who deserve to be in the top 30 teams,

i just said it, but it is very early stage to call out bad teams and there bad decisions about the comps and all but still, after announcing franchising, everyone had the best chance to try get the best they can but some teams, made a wrong decision, i hope they get to know what type of level they got a chance to get in

Noob fans but TS is in good form rn yall sleeping

my predictions

1. drx
2. geng
3. talon
4. secret
5. zeta
6. prx
7. t1
8. ge
9. dfm
10. rrq
