Bootseyy [#13]To be honest I don't get why we are shitposting about all teams that get knocked out. This tourney has had some incredible matches between all regions! Just enjoy the game of Valorant at the best its been ever!
thats impossible for regional supremacists I'm afraid.
Its always "my team/region better, yours is dogshit KEKW" instead of anyone actually realizing that its good international competition that is really entertaining.
Most of it is just baits tbh.
nutab1e [#10]I don't hate drx I just don't understand this illusion that has persisted for so long that they make metas, have unbeatable executes + coordination, and just get unlucky every single time.
they do make metas tho, they popularised breach, pioneered icebox (literally stated by seangares), invented the triple iniator on ascent, many teams and pro player alike have literally agreed teams steal drx's strats. and while its not neccearily 'unlucky' its a feelsbad when they lose 11-13 every time except this time.
andrewdamf [#14]Lmfao stop crying. Loud, nth are one of the most wholesome teams in the world and they still got the biggest hate out of any other team
I literally see 0 problems about speaking facts to a team that many people call top 5 in the world but doenst do shit in international events
who tf hated on loud LMAO if anything people were like feelsbad cuz of their group bracket
Buzz and Stax are pretty toxic and arrogant players clearly. Everyone always hyped them up so much but they have never achieved anything and always fall. I'm pretty sure Acend is the only EMEA/NA team they have ever beaten. And also the hypocrisy when most people were shitting on teams DRX won over while talking about their Korean overlord kekw
avepalto [#12]how, he's so wholesome, not toxic, has good sportmanship
He didn't perform well so he hates him. Weird logic.

they make the strats and then lose to them

To be fair to Stax; BCJ came out of no where and at'd him. Which I think brought alot of uncalled for attention.

Yes, but I just feel like both Buzz and Stax has always been really big on BM and overall DRX feels bit arrogant at times looking at their interviews and their approach. I don't know how true that actually is, but I remember that being really common trait among Korean players and teams in Overwatch. Where they kind of see themselves as superior and also adding how much praises they always get.
FoechiGG [#18]No hate to DRX, just to KoreanOverlord
He literally talks abt how DRX are shit wtf you mean bruh

"stax is arrogant"
No hes not wtf
Its just banter

nah you are confused....ive never seen so much threads spreading hate as the day Loud lost to Optic. there were 3/4 wholesome Optic fan threads amidst the sea of hate

Nah I kept up with OW before it died and it was mostly banter, the translations just made it seem like they were super arrogant
The only actual arrogant player I remember was Bunny and he's irrelevant now

Did you ever watch streams of pros playing in Korea servers? Korean players were so toxic to western pro players who were just there for a tournament. That toxicity was next level. People there had serious superiority complex. And yes it doesn't mean every Korean is like that, but it seems to be quite common trait among Korean esport players.
Nisham [#29]He literally talks abt how DRX are shit wtf you mean bruh
He tried to tell me that KR will dominate valorant
crashhacker1 [#20]when DRX played FPX earlier with a sub - stax to seider - "SEIDER WHAT ARE YOU DOING SEIDER?" taunts all game
now, they get hit back with banter - "WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO MEAN?"?
^^^This
Feed/troll on teams with subs but when CHAD player checks-in and proceeds slapping them off their HIGH SHELF ... they're all suddenly hurt and asking for mercy... Did anyone from them even bring up mutual understanding or sportsmanship? No, forget that shit ...nobody cares about that when you feel like "FLY HIGH". Nothing new tbfh ... It's just KARMA doing its humbling again. ... DISGUSTING really is
LocoMonteiro [#32]nah you are confused....ive never seen so much threads spreading hate as the day Loud lost to Optic. there were 3/4 wholesome Optic fan threads amidst the sea of hate
Loud had a massive respect thread made, I’d be surprised to see DRX or XSET get one of those

Yeah but to be fair the Korean pro's got their fair share of toxic idiots when they came to the US for OWL as well. Which no doubt the Korean pro's talked to other players when they got back home and created the same environment when anyone went over to Korea to play

100T started tripple initiator, DRX's fracture strat is literally "play like optic"
I_like_cute_girls [#44]People hate DRX just because their arrogance, like, thinking they're demons and dominate the game by playing it perfectly (not saying arrogance of personality guys)
Shouldn't all number 1 seeded teams in each region believe that their own play is superior? They earnt the top spot for a reason
In saying that I think that DRX has had a lot more light placed on them and their play more so than BR/LATAM/APAC/JP just from player/viewer base perspective
chloeburbank [#45]100T started tripple initiator, DRX's fracture strat is literally "play like optic"
- never mentioned fracture
- triple initiator from berlin is not the same triple initiator comp we know today
- drx fracture is different to optic. the difference in playstyle around a breach and fade is night and day

DRX got praised since first year of valorant because they were already trying to play the game in a perfectionist way and they don't gamble too much during matches, if u watch any other teams they all do gambling sometimes, DRX only gamble when they're too ahead or too behind;
It's just like in soccer when a player only do Backheel flick when his team is already winning by 3x0, but never do when is 0x0.
Almost every single team in Masters like to risk way more like, high risk, high reward plays. DRX risk only when getting stomped, or stomping.
Maybe because stax turn off his no respect mode on importants game. And they lose.
Maybe because all of their fans praise highly about DRX and tell world how they gonna win tournaments since last year, but in reality they never make it into top 4.
But they're indeed a top tier team. But still not good enough to be a title contender. I hope they comeback stronger, or just rest up let damwon take the ride next.

Yes that's true they did but didn't work for them as too safe was very readable to good teams.
I guess stylistic it works for them regionally because they have no one to push them to up their play and its obvious they haven't figured out a way for their team comps to work internationally.
I guess they have a couple months to fine tune their comps. They are good enough individually to pull it off; never going to be easy though
