Forecast Levitan - DRX
We return to the quarterfinals of the upper bracket of VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen. This time let's talk about the meeting between representatives of Korea DRX and their rivals from Latin America Levitan. The first meeting between the teams will take place on July 15 in the bo3 format.
Form DRX
The notorious Korean team performed well at the past VCT 2022 Korea Stage 2 qualifiers. Thanks to the first place in the group with a score of 7-0, the players went straight to the playoffs to the upper bracket semi-finals, from where they continued their victorious path. A streak of three wins against World Game Star (2-0), DAMWONG Gaming (3-0), Maru Gaming (3-0) cemented the team's title as the strongest in its region and brought a ticket to Masters Copenhagen.
Thanks to an easy victory over Northeption (2-0), and a slightly more difficult one over FPP (2-1), the team got into the playoffs, where they will meet with future opponents.
DRX line-up
The last changes in the roster took place at the end of January this year. Lakia first sat on the bench, and then completely switched to F4Q. From the main team, I would like to note Rb, it was he who became the best player of the match more often than other participants in the past qualifications.

Form Levitan
The team got to the tournament not without problems. At the past VCT 2022 LATAM Stage 2 qualifiers, the players took second place in the group with a score of 4-1, which allowed them to qualify for the playoffs. In the first match, they could not cope with FUSION (1-2), as a result of which they fell into a loser. After that, the team began a series of victories: the first match against E-Xolos LAZER (2-0), then a meeting with offenders and revenge for the defeat of FUSION (3-2), and the last victory in the grand final against KRU Esports (3-0).
Thanks to the victory in the qualifications, Levitan went directly to the Masters Copenhagen playoffs, bypassing the group matches.
Composition of Levitan
- adverso
- kiNgg

- Shyy
The last change in the roster took place at the end of May 2022. Shyy, a young player from the organization's academic staff, replaced VaiZ, who first sat on the bench and then left the team altogether. Separately, I would like to note Tacolilla, it is he who, on his beloved Chamber, becomes the best player of matches more often than others.

It is difficult to determine the winner, as both teams performed well in their respective regions. I think the victory will be for DRX, but the opponents will take one card.
Result: +1.5 handicap on Levitan.
