What do DRX need?

What do they need to change?

esport psychologist

Rb either go hard or he shuts off last minute, his raze on bind wasn’t that bad but he threw so much.
Buzz today was not feeling it he always go positive but today his monitor was off. Inconsistency i would say.

Maybe a stronger mindset and some roster changes. I don't think they choked today but it gets frustrating when they always get the "almost" every time

Rb, his entries are good but players like those arent impossible to find. The thing they need is firepower. Yay can diff Rb any day, which is the reason optic keep winning against them

Probably just practice putting themselves in weird situations and improvising their way out of it. Also maybe change some of their agents cause I don’t think the killjoy on Ascent/Haven is getting as much value as it used to. Otherwise, I wouldn’t make any roster changes right now. I mean they lost 13-15 on map 3 to OpTic at Reykjavik and 11-13 on map 3 this time, so it’s not like they’re bad. If a couple rounds go differently, they’d be in the top 3 and I don’t think anyone would be doubting them.

They will not change
2021 masters3 champions
2022 masters1 masters2
always same mental problem
No mental coach yet. L org

no one will say this but midrounding is their issue, they rely so much on set executes but they fall off mid round, dont get me wrong its still pretty fucking great midrounding but making it better might be the push they need to become a top 1 team from a top 6 team

Strong mental

asdfghjkl

DRX just went 1-2, dominating one map, getting dominated another, and being super close the third map against the Reigning Champs. Chill.

They need me

they need a team that can beat them once in awhile in korea, they won too much so they dont know how to comeback from a lose

I think changing anything on DRX could set them back from all the progress they've already made. They're on the cusp of being a championship team, they just need to get past optic.

They need to beat FPX for sure though, another middling performance would be devastating.

Any changes need to be made after champions though. Make the changes after franchising is started.

Mental ngl. Seen it way too many times.

A mental coach if anything.

look at PRX mental. they play the game not to chase the trophy but still can get the trophy that is the mindset.. they playing for fun like another ranked game..

One thing I noticed a lot more vs Optic was that DRX didn't have many 2-3 man plays to get a player in a good position, something that Optic does really well. Optic's entire bind defence Yay was either with Crashies or Marved and setup to take a strong angle. Buzz was often left by himself on his DRX's defence and just holding a passive angle.

Mid rounding was also a weakness for DRX on their defence, we often saw Optic look to take space my late dogging showers, 2 walking short a etc to get information.

DRX has a lot of really strong 4-5 man executes but not many plays only involving 2-3.

Meteor instead Rb is a huge upgrade tbh

a competitive region. so they sweat themselves before come to LAN. even PRX sometimes having troubles on APAC scene. but DRX is just running away smoothly, they play really good on early stage, but in playoffs, something wrong happens.

imagine if they still cant reach top 4 after all this time. after all that big expectation towards them.

Mental coach
Replace Rb with Foxy9 or Ssun, or Meteor if it's possible lol those three players are better than him

they need a mental coach just like what leviatan has i think. and they'd have solid form

pull a 100T and hire a sports psychologist

RB----> Texture

DRX literally has the best 3-5 fraggers in the world, literally no one on their team is bad at fragging and all play their roles well (stax top 2 initiator, mako top 2 controller, zest could be argued top 5 igl but more likely top 10). Buzz's struggles on Chamber has made them need to have more consistency on duelist. RB has been their worst performer in every single tournament they've been in, and Texture is the best Korean fragger out there rn.
