DRX Prediction - FunPlus Phoenix
We continue to review the matches of the group stage of VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen. Today, the best team of Korea DRX will face the top 2 of the FunPlus Phoenix European ranking. Since the teams have not met before, they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Form DRX
The team showed a high-quality game at the past VCT 2022 Korea Stage 2 qualifiers. The group stage ended without a single loss 7-0, after which they went to the playoffs, where they also continued their winstreak. In the grand final, Maru Gaming also failed to oppose the favorites (3-0).
In the first match at Masters Copenhagen, the club easily defeated Japanese opponents from Northeption (2-0).
DRX line-up
As I noted earlier, the entire roster has played for the Vision Strikers in the past, and after moving to the new organization, the players continued to show excellent play. Rb stands out the most, who most often became the best player of the match in the past qualifiers, preferring Jett to the rest of the characters.

FunPlus Phoenix shape
Representatives of Europe barely made it to the tournament from the past and June qualifiers. After finishing the group stage with a score of 3-2, the players went to the playoffs, where they immediately fell into the loser. Further, a series of three won matches led the team to the grand final, where they could not defeat Fnatic (0-3). As a result, they got a ticket to Masters Copenhagen thanks to the second place.
In the first match of the Masters Copenhagen group stage, the team faced XERXIA, as a result of which they won (2-1).

- SEIDER (loan)
Although the main roster has not been changed for a very long time, but in early July, just before the start of the tournament, the team borrowed SEIDER, who is in Alliance as a replacement. In the last match against XERXIA, he replaced SUYGETSU, but his result was not very impressive.

Both teams are very strong, first and second place in their regions. At the last qualifiers, DRX showed themselves better, but their opponents cannot be called weak. It seems to me that there will be a worthy match for three full maps.
Result Total over 2.5.
