I mean man nobody has them making a deep run in their pickems except for a few people , their map pool currently looks one of the best, buzz and Mako are playing in super form and their other players are also so good , I know it's because of their previous years performances that they choked in playoffs but people should remember that these guys are new players and have been through the worst , they came close to qualifying for madrid and Shanghai but couldn't, they have been through their bad times

Why is DRX so heavily under rated

DRXs fan following was mostly carried by Stax and his antics and RBs ridiculous clutches. There was an uproar in the community when they got dropped hence nobody was paying attention to them as they became just another Korean team. Now suddenly Termi is without suit and they're playing exceptional valorant so all eyes are on them.
I argue it's more because we've already seen what DRX does -- at their peak they look unstoppable, but then they get mentally boomed and crash out before they reach top 3/4. So, everyone expects them to do the same here.
Funnily enough, I feel like this lack of pressure of not being the obvious favorites (GenG were, and now TH/G2/FNC) + having home support will really help them actually break that curse. But, they have to win first. One game at a time
I feel like 2023 should've taught us to never leave out those that barely qualified, or those that look weak at the start. EG almost didn't qualify and then won the whole thing, This year SEN was almost written off entirely because of one bad series against the favorites, and Trace was probably in everyone's pickems as getting eliminated in groups. No team at Champs is objectively weak
