The TEN Global Invitational 2025 kicks off with a Round Robin Bo1 clash between DRX and Nongshim RedForce at around 12:00 AM UTC. DRX, Pacific’s elite squad, enters as clear favorites, riding a wave of international success that mid tier Nongshim simply can’t match.

DRX’s pedigree speaks volumes, third place at Valorant Champions 2025, deep playoff runs in VCT Pacific Stages, and a championship at HERO ESPORTS Asian Champions League. Their adaptability in Bo1’s crucial for this format stems from stars like Mako and Buzz, who excel in aggressive site takes and clutch duels. Against lower Korean opposition, DRX has consistently imposed their macro vision, turning scrappy games into routs.

Nongshim RedForce, fresh off a solid VCT Pacific Ascension qualifier run, falters when facing true top tier pressure. Their inconsistencies show in losses to Pacific heavyweights, where eco management crumbles and aim duels turn one sided. Head to head, DRX holds a 2-1 edge in recent VCT meetings, including a decisive Stage 2 victory. In this off season opener, DRX’s experience tips the scales for a comfortable win, securing early momentum in the King of the Hill group.

Selection 2: Vitality’s Bo3 Revenge Against MOUZ @-250

Shifting to CS2, IEM Chengdu 2025’s semifinal pits world #1 Vitality against MOUZ in a Bo3 thriller at 7:30 AM CET. Despite MOUZ’s gritty 2-1 group stage upset capped by triple overtime on Inferno Vitality’s depth and hunger make them the rematch favorites.

Vitality’s playoff path has been a statement, dismantling G2 2-0 and grinding past Astralis in quarters, showcasing ZywOo’s godlike aim and ropz’s rifling precision. As HLTV’s top ranked team, they’ve dominated recent Bo3s, rebounding from the group stumble with cleaner executes on Nuke and Mirage their comfort picks. Historically, Vitality owns the rivalry, winning 23 of 31 head to heads.

MOUZ impressed by topping Group B, toppling FaZe and FURIA, but their reliance on siuhy’s heroics exposes cracks against elite firepower. That Inferno marathon drained them, and Vitality’s bench strength flameZ’s lurks, apEX’s leadership thrives in extended series. Expect ZywOo to feast in the decider, flipping the script for a semifinal statement.
