Nongshim RedForce Don’t Look Bad
Nongshim RedForce completed their VCT Pacific Stage 2 group stage campaign in fourth place, with a 2-3 record and a +12 round differential.
They started Group Alpha poorly, with defeats against FULL SENSE (1-2) and Gen.G (1-2), but picked themselves up and won two of the remaining three games, against Global Esports (2-1) and ZETA DIVISION (2-1), before losing to Rex Regum Qeon (1-2) in a very competitive game.
Nongshim RedForce are far from one of the top contenders in VCT Pacific, and their results haven’t been all that inspiring, as RedForce have been dropping maps even against weaker teams. However, while there have been some cracks in RedForce’s run, they’ve also shown some good things.

|---|---|---|---|
| August 9 | VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 2 | Rex Regum Qeon | 1-2 (L) |
| August 2 | VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 2 | ZETA DIVISION | 2-1 (W) |

Team Secret Are in Shaky Form

After a less-than-inspiring performance in the group stage, Team Secret defeated Xipto Esports in the first round of VCT Pacific Stage 2 Play-In, with 13-8 on Summit and 13-11 on Sunset. It was a solid display, albeit against a weaker opponent.
KellyS was the star of the show on the day, posting a 1.33 performance rating, ahead of STYRON at 1.15.

Verdict
Team Secret have shown some signs of life in the first round of the Play-Ins, but against a Challenger team. More importantly, they’ve looked toothless during the VCT Pacific Stage 2 campaign, and given their lack of success when faced with VCT squads, it is fair to doubt their chances to make a splash on Sunday.
Nongshim RedForce haven’t been perfect either, but have appeared more stable than Secret. Moreover, RedForce have had more time to prepare for the upcoming affair, which gives them another notable advantage in what should be a fairly easy game for them.
