They added Foxy9 as main duelist.
Foxy went 11 games being postive and had 2 being negative in kd before joining DRX
He's just been insane.
Adding him made my chance of DRX winning the tournament go from 5% to 10%
Foxy has the same potential as Zekken, hopefully he doesn't fuck up due to the pressure.
Flyjin [#3]not a fan of this move, not because foxy9 sucks, but because buzz is the best duelist they have
if foxy9 moved to initiator it would make much more sense, he even played initiator on reignite and looked good on skye
couldve been a 1 for 1 replacement with zest
not wrong
ouim9 [#4]not wrong
still think in the long term, DRX will figure the roles out and be a stronger team
that extra firepower is gonna help tremendously against the aim heavy teams like loud
i like the foxy9 move but their odds at winning were way higher without him. they were super stable, practiced, and had the most guaranteed synergy out of every team attending given their time together and track record
now with foxy there's always a possibility of small mistakes that wouldn't happen with zest that can cause an upset loss
and in a single elim tourney that means they could be going home real early in a worst case scenario

the one thing I'm scared of foxy9 is that he gets lan jitters and chokes 1 series
I've seen him choke in ranked, it aint pretty
horse69 [#8]not saying he is bad but those games he had were against pretty bad teams
Your saying ZETA DIVISION is a bad team? (Xerxia Core) Talon Esports? Team Secret? (Took A Map Off Gambit and Beat Vikings)

he's talking about the teams foxy played against before joining drx

those teams arent bad either lol
fapcity [#9]for all we know zest could end up starting if scrims arent going as well as they thought over there so no worries. Im sure if he ends up playing its because the coaches trust him. But I agree with flyjin that lan jitters could a real thing for him.
Honestly if Zest becomes a sub, T1 or Gen.G Minus well pick him up they really need an IGL.

have to agree with buzz point

I am very confident that TS as IGL can lead GenG in the right direction for 2023.

stax said that their priority for now is make foxy9 comfortable playing on big stage, he and the team know the cons that's why he also said dont be surprised if drx bomb out early

talon and zeta is pretty good but secret isnt

from what I've seen buzz is very flexible, he can frag out even on a sentinels
SIDD2310 [#23]from what I've seen buzz is very flexible, he can frag out even on a sentinels
that's true, his killjoy is immaculate
but DRX has a very rigid playstyle when they're on defense, the sentinels dont have much freedom after setting up, only exception was chamber and hes useless now
tbh I think he will still end up playing jett

stax said 99% chance foxy is playing
