Apparently, Foxy9 is playing instead of Zest. What is your opinion about this? Is DRX still winning it all?

Be as delusional as you can before the match because you'll be crying for weeks after C9 gets knocked out by PRX
No they wont lol
If prx beats c9 I will be so happy because drx doesnt need to face yay again
Very Good Decision Foxy9 is very cracked but he doesn't have the experience so let's see
Nah, the first time foxy9 played with DRX he and zest swapped in and out, and it wasn't a serious tournament. The second tournament foxy9 was apparently playing due to zest being sick. I don't think there is any confirmation, and it's just a rumor that foxy is playing instead of zest. I would be very surprised if zest played no maps at lock//in.
i think this is depends on the maps & comp they running, i believe they still need zest's sova
Personally I would like it if he went to t1 IF he is ever to leave DRX. T1 is in need of a good IGL and munchkin is not it. Munchkin can roleswap to anchor/lurker, ban to flex and Xeta back to info initiator and Zest to smokes or smth idk they can figure that out themselves. Zest would elevate T1 into the top of pacific.
should be really entertaining. foxy9 is a psychopath and drx seems to just be letting him go crazy when normally they play a super restrained style
You will see that it's not a guess. I'm always right. When you see him playing you will remember my name.
at this point zest is a LAN veteran, his mental and experience is very valuable but ig we'll see
zest is still 6th man, but foxy9 is cracked talent. im pretty excited to see how it goes tbh!
people won't like this but rb needs to be the one getting replaced and by this time next year the roster will likely be stax buzz mak0 foxy and a new initiator player(likely buying out Xeta or getting Lakia. TS is also really underrated but he'd be a sidegrade IMO.)
are you kidding me? rb was insane today and hes one of the most flexible players in the scene, let alone in korea. drx need someone who can play astra, sentinel agents and initiator players at that level and someone with good teamwork and synergy to win.
wow he was great against BBL!!!!! I really don't care how unpopular this opinion is but we're going through the same cycle with this guy. He is a high level player, no question, but he doesn't perform when it matters most. This happens every iteration of DRX, RB does very well against lower competition(open quals in the first stages, BBL an objectively lower level team) and people start calling him the best flex player in the game. Then when he plays against actually good competition he shits the bed and is by far the weakest link. He's consistently good when DRX is playing inferior teams but when they are challenged he is almost always the problem. Like look at his last 3 games at champs... or masters Copenhagen.... or master reijkavik...or last years champs. Starting to see a pattern? If championships and mvps were given to the first 2-3 games of a tourney DRX would be the champs with RB as the MVP, but until he performs consistently against higher competition he will stay as their weakest link.
I agree we need more of this rb especially in the later rounds of the tournament.
Dude is undeniably a good valorant player, but DRX has been gunning for a championship since 2021 and he's always been their worst player when it matters most. Like I'm being downvoted but pretty much everything I've said has been true. He shuts off at the end of tournies, whether its on entry, sova, or full flex. He has consistently made them a lower class team in firepower when competing against the top 6 teams in the world, and if you're trying to win champs this year, he is not ur best option. If they have to face a team like FNC, C9, Loud in the quarters that have crazy firepower 1-5, I'm not confident his lack of fragging in big moments will suddenly go away. I hope he proves me wrong because DRX are a likeable team and Stax and Mak0 are two of my fav players, but adding in foxy9 and putting buzz in the role that RB is in right now will be better in the longrun.
wasnt he playing really well against optic in their lower final game at champs though?
IIRC his KJ was really good in the deciding match but if you just look at the game you can see how little impact he had on fragging characters and how behind he was in fragging compared to Victor who was Optic's flex
