Head-to-head
Past Matches
I have no idea how this is gonna go. We barely saw C9 break a sweat against PRX. How good are they really? I honestly didn’t see enough to pred them. There’s no world where DRX give them as many rounds for free as PRX did. I’m sure we’re gonna get Pearl and that it’s gonna be a BANGER regardless though.
Nothing against C9 but I just gotta go 2-0 DRX
after watching both of these teams I'm starting to regret my DRX choice in pick'ems. Gotta stick with my gut and just say that this should be an absolute banger. C9 looked dominant on their map choice & even took away PRX's after figuring out what they had with the sage (which they've probably never seen scrimming in NA). DRX on the other than took 2 of their 3, arguably, strongest maps (fracture being the third here... which BBlL banned... not ascent.)
Excited to see what C9 can pull out against likely stronger competition, I'll take DRX 2-1 in a close map 3 Pearl.
An_dH [#29]Come on DRX it's not the whole Optic it's just Yay, no way u guys lose this
LMAO, what a shitty post. Xeppaa literally got MVP yesterday and then you write this shit. Are you brain-dead or something kid
RcCola0625 [#59]LMAO, what a shitty post. Xeppaa literally got MVP yesterday and then you write this shit. Are you brain-dead or something kid
Yeah but it still not the optic right and hard carry of yay is not there so u don't think drx will be lot more easy for drx
Arnav_2001 [#60]Yeah but it still not the optic right and hard carry of yay is not there so u don't think drx will be lot more easy for drx
C9 beat DRX last time they played and C9 has only gotten better.

Bro really thought PRX could beat one of the title contenders
ToMmYMoNsTeRTrUcKfAN9820 [#63]C9 beat DRX last time they played and C9 has only gotten better.
DRX has also improved severly since 2021 champs
horse69 [#73]DRX has also improved severly since 2021 champs
never denied that but so has C9. It's going to be a good match but if we have anything to go off it's C9 1-0 in matches vs them. Yay also 1-0 vs them
DRX has played with the same core, so has C9. C9 has gotten major upgrades to their roster since then and Yay is actually El Diablo to them. They lost to C9 without yay. and Yay destroyed their run in Copenhagen.

bro drx lost to yay like a billion times
Fr33style [#72]Bro really thought PRX could beat one of the title contenders
In his defense (and mine) prx played amazing in Copenhagen and had a pretty good run in 2022 while this c9 team is adding 2 huge pieces into their system. I expected this matchup to be THE coin flip of the first round not a 2-0 wash.
horse69 [#76]bro drx lost to yay like a billion times
three times iirc. once at reykjavik, once at istanbul, once at copenhagen. the games were always close, 2-1 and 3-2...

Yay + C9 on paper just looks hard for DRX. I just want to see some good Valorant, idk why I'm getting downvoted. Just stating actual facts lmao. Facts = bad

i wouldnt really care about vlr.gg users and their votes. i was just saying that the games with optic and drx have been really close. i really hope DRX get over their hurdle of losing to experienced NA teams.

I WANT DRX TO WIN TOO
capital_d_colon [#79]i will be preparing a large bowl of Bolognese to devour during this spectacle
What is that ? ^_^
C9 2-0
Yay's midround kills and positioning always ruin DRX.
C9 beat PRX effortlessly without having Zellsis or yay pop off.
DRX STRUGGLED against BBL and have shown more (also, not much practice w Zest since they were mostly scrimming with Foxy9 before 2 weeks ago)
Buzz OP is inconsistent af (esp in map 3, he loses gas quickly). Mako will still be insane but C9 has better firepower overall esp if all the players pop off.
Yay > Buzz
Vanity < Mako
Xeppa >= Stax (since he has to focus on IGL
Zellsis > RB (RB drops off a cliff in important matches, esp against NA TEAMS, he chokes the most)
Leaf = Zest (If leaf returns to form then def leaf)
Empathy_ [#114]wtf is with the odds? Earlier it was 1.8, now 1.55 for C9. Anyone have information on why this might be the case?
EDIT: I would think if anything, odds might skew in favour of DRX..
If u think something shady going on here, it isn't.
Prontera [#115]If u think something shady going on here, it isn't.
No no, I just want to know if theres some information I'm unaware about that might affect the odds this heavily (usually a tweet about if a player has covid etc. would do this) Just wondering why would the odds swing in favor of C9 when I think DRX should 'on paper' be favorites

Odds changes usually happen due to sharps (bettors who have a high wr%) betting a lot of money on one of the sides.

That's fair, still a little crazy odds for a literal 50/50 matchup imo. We'll see how it goes :)

That's very untrue bro, don't fall into that vegas conspiracy shit lol

cs odds change constantly based on just whoever is getting more bets placed on them. Doesn’t even come down to the bettors win rate. I’m sure the same is true for val

Kinda makes sense from historical data, C9 beat DRX before and yay when in Optic shit on DRX most of the time
insanepeeker [#149]C9 2-0 is free money lmao ain't no way drx is winning a map here
C9 pick bro they literally beat prx on this map
funny_prank [#153]C9 pick bro they literally beat prx on this map
Dont care. They're gonna 2 0 drx for sure. Drx mental gone
sussybaka [#120]c9 fans coping so hard, be realistic plz.
Yeah they coping so hard. I have to turn down my headphones, because this DRX pack is so LOUD 💨
Shit nvm
solsolid [#165]so, what's the verdict. C9 just too good on Pearl? or PRX and DRX are ass on Pearl?
mixture of both
SigmaMale [#167]He's on sage
Not talking about kills, yay was a bit everywhere in Pearl. He usually has a confident playstyle in other maps. He seems to be a bit off in Pearl. Watch both prx and drx games.
1ucid [#173]NO, this comp is troll..
Also, C9 wanted 5v5 retake every single time. That won't/didn't work always lol
Shanvel [#176]Also, C9 wanted 5v5 retake every single time. That won't/didn't work always lol
no breach can't retake
insanepeeker [#159]Dont care. They're gonna 2 0 drx for sure. Drx mental gone
"mental gone" this ain't ranked bud. No FFs after 3 lost rounds
csblucas [#185]vanity karma???? Map 1 was simply warm up for DRX the way things are looking
lose 3v1 ----> lose game + tilted
insanepeeker [#149]C9 2-0 is free money lmao ain't no way drx is winning a map here
that didnt age well
Sprouts [#168]mixture of both
After Haven and Icebox, gonna say Pearl is just a goated map of C9 and teams should permaban pearl when facing C9
OcularVL [#164]Yeah they coping so hard. I have to turn down my headphones, because this DRX pack is so LOUD 💨
Shit nvm
Damn you got owned ROFLMAO😂
User011098 [#210]PRX LOSE TO THIS CLOWNS?
unlucky on map picks i guess after seeing this.
Lotus is unknown and Pearl turns out to be C9 best map
CashMeOut [#217]vanity, leaf, yay AND COACH MCE boutta get a triple whopper from burger king after
Coach mce joining as well

"RB drops off a cliff in important matches"
Kek
imo.. coach is to blame. match was over once he had his face in his palms. thats the gesture of utter defeat and "holy crap.. idk what to do". but credit to DRX. they are on a roll even before sao paulo. imo , they can hang with any top NA team. One of the few that can. other teams have1 or 2 players that would be of NA talent. DRX shines as a team. Hope next time c9 got it together and fixes their issues so that we can watch these 2 teams battle it out and actually performing their best. now THAT would be a banger match to watch!
WesTheFitting [#199]MCE learning that just because you beat someone who talked shit doesn’t mean you can’t be beaten after talking shit. The lesson to everyone? Just be quiet and let the results do the talking.
Dude was holding grudges towards PRX for a supposedly "rude" behaviour that happened a year ago, then proceed to do exactly the same towards DRX lmao

That's not true either. It was true for skin betting sites but it's not true for regular betting sites.
Also like I said, the "sharps" were wrong... don't believe this media shit that there are these sharp bettors with high winrate lmao
