PCIFIC Esports Lack Firepower
PCIFIC Esports played only one game in the opening week of VCT EMEA Stage 1 and lost 0-2 to BBL Esports. However, it was not as one-sided a game as the final score would suggest, nor as one-sided as it was expected to be.
PCIFIC started slow, but then nearly won Split (11-13) and held on well on Breeze (8-13). While a solid showing, they have exposed one of their main weaknesses: a lack of firepower.
If PCIFIC can find more success in that area, they can start making more noise and be strong mid-table contenders.

GIANTX Looking To Bounce Back
GIANTX lost their first game of VCT EMEA Stage 1 against Team Vitality 0-2. It was anything but a promising display from GIANTX, who lost 8-13 on Haven and 3-13 on Pearl.
It was a slow start for GIANTX, but it is not like they’ve looked strong at the start of the season, placing seventh-eighth in EMEA Kickoff and fifth-sixth in EMEA Clash.
One thing GIANTX have going for them is their historical record as the more successful team. But realistically, they’ve not shown much recently or in the opening week of Stage 1.
GIANTX Squad & Team News
GIANTX have not made any new roster changes.
- Kirill "Cloud" Nekhozhin
- Miłosz "westside" Duda
- Eduard-George "ara" Hanceriuc
- Karel "Flickless" Maeckelbergh
- Grzegorz "GRUBINHO" Ryczko
Verdict
On paper, GIANTX look like the better team as they’ve accomplished more than PCIFIC this season and in the past. However, if we look only at the more recent results, it is hard to justify saying that GIANTX are in a much better state.
GIANTX might have a higher ceiling and more potential. Even though they’re arguably stronger qualitatively, GIANTX aren't that much better.
This game has upset potential.
