Expectations are high that Korea's Gen.G and DRX will be able to beat and lift the trophy in the final series of the `VCT Pacific Season" finals.
Riot Games will hold the final series of 'Valorant Champions Tour' (VCT) Pacific Season' at the handball stadium located in Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul from the 20th to the 21st.
With Gen.G already on a first-come, first-served basis in the final on the 21st, DRX and PRX will face off in the final round of the loser group on the 20th. PRX is the strongest team in Pacific, but it fell to the loser group after losing 0-2 to Gen.G in the second round of the playoffs on the 13th
DRX, which changed its team's style by including a large number of rookie players on the roster this season, reached the playoffs in second place on Stage 2 and then beat Talon e-Sports in the second round to advance to the winner's group final. Although he lost to Gen.G. 1-2 in the final match held on the 14th, if he wins the PRX match on the 20th, he will have a chance to reach the final again and hold a rematch with Gen.G for the championship cup.
Gen.G, who is on the verge of winning the championship, has met PRX six times this year and has 3 wins and 3 losses based on matches, forming a rivalry. He won the kickoff final earlier this year, but lost the stage 1 final unfortunately and lost the championship. However, through the victory in Shanghai at the Masters, which ended in June, Pacific and Korean teams won the World Champion title for the first time, and when they came to the final of Stage 2, all five competitions held this year were amazing.
On the other hand, PRX, which reached the playoff of the season as No. 1 in the group stage, is also shaking as a whole when it loses 0-2 to Gen.G in the second round of the playoffs. If the team loses to DRX, it will allow civil war between Korean teams.
Meanwhile, an event will be held for fans visiting the site of the VCT Pacific season final series. Participating in the on-site event prepared for the season final will allow you to get a variety of prizes at random, including Champions Seoul tickets, a reusable bag, a Valorant slim tumbler, a Valorant mouse pad, and Pacific and Champions versions of hairpins in Korea in August.
In addition, various events will be held at the booth set up at the site.

A large number of famous influencers will also attend this finals series. A total of eight influencer, including Nyang Nyongnyang, Kim Gye-ran, NiMol Cash, Il Opal, Son Ocheon, Dohyeon, Phoenix Park, and Haengdol, who are active in girl groups QWER, will visit the site and hold various events.
A special show match will also be held in the event zone, where influencers will participate.
