DRX regained some form from 2025, in their VCT Pacific campaign with a clean 2–0 victory over FULL SENSE, showing a clear gap in composure and execution across the series.

From the opening map, DRX looked firmly in control, dictating the pace and rarely allowing FULL SENSE to settle into structured rounds. Their coordination in early engagements and confidence in mid-round decisions consistently put FULL SENSE on the back foot, turning small advantages into decisive round wins.

The first map was a one-sided affair, with DRX’s attcking setups proving particularly suffocating, returning to the HYUNMIN Waylay that earned a top 3 finish at Champions Paris. FULL SENSE struggled to find space or reliable openings, often being shut down before retakes could fully develop. DRX’s ability to rotate efficiently and trade cleanly meant that even when FULL SENSE found picks, they were quickly neutralised ending Corrode 13-3 in the favour of the Korean side.

The momentum carried into the second map, where FULL SENSE showed more resistance and managed to keep the scoreline closer, but DRX’s discipline in clutch situations and post-plant scenarios ensured they remained in control when it mattered most, taking Abyss 13-9.

Ultimately, the series highlighted DRX’s depth and consistency as a roster, with strong fundamentals and measured aggression underpinning their performance. FULL SENSE had moments of promise, particularly in the first stages of the second map, but were unable to string together enough rounds to seriously threaten the result.

The 2–0 win reinforces DRX’s status as a top contender in the Pacific region, despite their shock losses which have left them in the bottom bracket of Kick-off, while FULL SENSE are left with clear lessons to take forward as they regroup for their next matches, which aren’t until Stage 1, after Masters Santiago.
