FULL SENSE With a New Coach
FULL SENSE will look to improve upon their Stage 1 (seventh-eighth) performance, and they’ve made the necessary changes to do so. During the offseason, they’ve signed two new players, seph1roth and Leviathan, but more importantly, FULL SENSE acquired former Global Esports head coach Hector "FrosT" Rosario.
FrosT’s arrival is a big deal, as with him, FULL SENSE have one of the best coaches in the region, who has previously placed top-four in Masters Berlin, and he won bronze medals in VCT 2025 Pacific Stage 2 and VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 1.
Especially for this game, FrosT’s arrival plays a role, as Nongshim RedForce have historically struggled against teams coached by the 38-year-old.

Nongshim RedForce Are in Good Form
Nongshim RedForce have been one of the best-performing teams in VCT Pacific this season. They won the Kickoff event and the Masters Santiago, and they recently placed third in the Esports World Cup.
However, domestically, their performances have been lacking, as RedForce had to settle for a seventh-eighth-place finish in Stage 1, following a disappointing run in the playoffs.
While RedForce have enough quality on this roster to perform well, their showing in Stage 1 is concerning. So until they prove otherwise, RedForce do not come off as a team with the potential to make a run for the trophy.
