The undefeated king of the VCT 2023: Pacific League, DRX has dropped its first-ever match against the mighty Southeast Asian lineup of Team Secret during the last week of the regular season.
DRX went into the match with a perfect 7-0 scoreline, beating all teams that it had gone up against, dropping only two maps in the process, one each against Gen.G Esports and RRQ.
On the other hand, Team Secret did not enjoy a particularly great run and found itself on the verge of getting eliminated before this match. In dire need of a win, Secret stepped up big time and stunned the Korean giants by handing them a clean 2-0 sweep.

Even after seven weeks of the regular season action, the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2023 Pacific League continues to deliver high-octane gameplay from every single competing team along with plenty of upsets. Though DRX, Paper Rex, and T1 have already qualified for the playoffs, it is still extremely difficult to predict which remaining teams might steal the remaining spots.
Team Secret was playing a must-win series against DRX in its first match of the super week and the team really turned up for it in great shape. Not only did Secret manage to hand DRX its first defeat of the event but it did so in quite the dominating fashion on the back of a 2-0 sweep.
