2:0 (DRX)

DRX and Attacking Soul Esports will meet in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo. I don't need to remind you how important it is to get off to a good start at the championships.

In this case, the South Korean team was frankly lucky with the draw, as any opponent from China is virtually a guaranteed victory, judging by the exclusion of the region from the entire professional scene.

In general, Attacking Soul Esports do not have much to say, and then we will see with the facts. But for now the Chinese team should be marked only as the clear outsider. So here I would rely on the DRX team's resounding victory.

DRX's form

The first team of the South Korean ranking played well at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they reached the semi-finals and in equal fight led to the victory over LOUD.

DRX went on to play the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League, where despite their defeat by Team Secret, they managed to build a big lead and advance to the play-offs from first place.

However, in the play-offs, the South Korean squad unexpectedly floundered as they lost twice to Paper Rex and lost their seemingly decided championship.

DRX's latest results:

A 2-0 win over T1.
A 2-1 win over Team Secret.

3-2 victory over T1.
2-3 defeat of Paper Rex.

Top DRX scores:

Prediction for the match DRX - Attacking Soul Esports

It is possible that the difference between the teams is not so great, but it will show only the match itself. If we judge by the dictation, DRX has established itself as a strong team that consistently comes out in the play-offs at such tournaments.

In turn, Attacking Soul Esports will have a lot to prove in practice, although the Chinese team has good statistics on maps, and the playing strength is very good.

Still, in this case, I would recommend betting on a 2-0 DRX victory.
