DRX is already an obsolete team. The usual pick a site, execute, and go for extreme passive post plants with line ups will work against lesser teams but it's wack against high level teams. This stagnant 2022 protocol heavy playstyle is their downfall

widepeepofrosty [#2]too many big words in that paragraph! cannot understand 😔 😔 😔
it's okay baby just watch DRX game and you'll understand
Cresp [#4]I mean only their fracture is the one they play the post plants with the defuse stall. Their pearl is stall heavy
All of their maps post plants are passive they just being forced to fight since almost all their opponents just flood the site and not let them set up but if given the chance they always go to passive post plants route

I mean ig but solid play is good most of the time. Its also why they brought foxy9 to help break the monotony of thw slow plays and defaults they normally do and have a risk taker on their team.

You right they brought in foxy9 in hopes of cultivating a superstar but the core problem is their system. At this point foxy9 is being integrated into a passive system instead of being a real game changer for them
Leviatan is not bad, tacolila underperformed a lot. DRX stax underperformed a lot as well.
Is hard to any team to qualify is their star player underperform besides their IGL.
Is easier to carry an IGL underperforming than star player underperforming.
Leviatan could easily go to Tokyo if Tacolila did not played that BAD
Same as DRX, if Stax played better.
dandann [#13]ig they already hit their peak (3rd place itw) last year and now on a downward spiral cus teams catched up
That was their peak they tried making some changes in hopes of reaching new heights but their core system never changed, still always a passive team

Bro even if all of them performed they will still not win a trophy even with all the potential and they will remain stagnant as ever because of their playstyle
Skuul13 [#20]straight up spitting facts, preach brother
as a DRX enjoyer it's really sad to me that they are still playing like this
when they have quality to do betterKR LoL teams adapt better than everyone else in the world
That confuses me as well KR mentality has never been rigid but in Val they straight up so one dimensional

they change a bit tho when foxy was playing they became a bit more aggressive i guess?
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#22]watch how apac mfs will call my takes a bait
they literally just get away with doing the same thing bc they just have better players in apac but at internationals they get exposed so hard. just pls get mako some help
TM06Nick [#23]I'm tired of drx just doing a set strat and never pivoting and then every post plant is lineups or Mako 1v4s
It do feel like that if mako don't go 1v3/4 consistently this team will be so much worse
hanafuuji [#28]rare W take coming from you, it's always like if things didn't go according to their plan, they're clueless on what to do. the old ways clearly works wonders but nowadays it won't work anymore, it's an IGL/coach problem they need to change their ways
even with zest igling i still don't think they will have a chance for a trophy
cryyBAE [#34]I would say that LEV roll DRX
LEV almost beat EG, let's remember
That was an EG still not in full form tho
ZhangWei [#32]I just feel like they are banking so much on their protocols that they are so afraid of even peeking
Exactly! They are so obsessed with a perfect post plant setups they will not even peek lol
moshimoshiman24 [#29]they literally just get away with doing the same thing bc they just have better players in apac but at internationals they get exposed so hard. just pls get mako some help
even in apac teams are catching up
Lucaspinheiro [#35]DRX is going to lose. They have a very predictable game of always playing on the pixel.
They are probably the easiest team to anti strat in tokyo
I feel they didn't find the proper way to integrate foxy9 in their play style yet. Also foxy9 and stax underperformed a lot vs EG. Hope they can bounce back and find their form but I'm quite sure they will play better next match. But they are lacking fire power to match the best teams and fight for trophies.

Dude wdym? Foxy9 integrating into DRX playstyle is the worst outcome when the playstyle/system itself is the problem, it will not change anything it will just make foxy9 a passive mf
I that NAVI, LEV, and DRX have all had issues rooting from the fact they kept the majority of their roster. Dont get me wrong, this doesn't create issues by itself, but all three teams held onto a LOT of core strats, playstyles, roles, and comps, that make them incredibly readable. The reason why the top teams are the best rn is not because they were the best last season, its because they've learned how to move with the meta and truly play new valorant, not the same valorant with 1-2 more new players. If any of these three teams wants to truly succeed in my eyes they have to make some massive strategic changes, the core of each of their playstyles has become so readable to the point of them losing matches against much worse teams.

I agree they are being super passive, and this is the main reason for the poor game against EG. But they had aggressive rounds at Ascent and lost a few important ones with advantages due to poor individual decisions and team coordination. I feel they need more work to develop chemistry and teamwork with foxy9. Also, they definitely need to play more loose and aggressive in some moments. Stax and foxy9 really need to step up.

Agreed with LEV DRX but not with NAVI even if i hate EU frogs NAVI is not so easy to anti strat but it's different for LEV and DRX they're so easy to read bc they adhere to protocols too much
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#37]Exactly! They are so obsessed with a perfect post plant setups they will not even peek lol
it's prob bc of their mentals too they don't have kangkang mentals
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#44]Agreed with LEV DRX but not with NAVI even if i hate EU frogs NAVI is not so easy to anti strat but it's different for LEV and DRX they're so easy to read bc they adhere to protocols too much
NAVI doesn’t really have “protocols”, but their default playstyle I feel really struggles in Skye meta. They are definitely taking steps in the right direction with comps I think they realize that their weakness in changing the pace (lacking fast execs) really hurt them which is where the yoru came from.
Yeah you can’t really true anti strat slow defaulting but a good igls have it really easy against them IMO.
I get what you are saying that they don’t really fit into the Lev DRX category tho

That is what i said NAVI is not so easy to anti strat since most of the time they have game plans and they follow their win conditions but i agree them lacking fast execs is a major weakness for them but it's different for LEV and DRX
ZhangWei [#47]Wow its rare for you to not straight up hate navi lmao tf happened?
Wdym? I'm always unbiased on my takes

Maybe cnoob yoru was the answer all along we are all just too blind 😞
Ailed [#51]Maybe cnoob yoru was the answer all along we are all just too blind 😞
Them putting cnoob on raze instead of zyppan is a crime tho
Faraday [#48]only HassanWillSaveAmerica correct opinion
didn't think it was possible:prx;:prx;:prx;:prx;:prx;:prx;:prx;
All good yall starting to realize my fair, objective and unbiased takes
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#52]Them putting cnoob on raze instead of zyppan is a crime tho
Shao not on fade as well? Idk why they didn’t just take after NRG and put cnoob on kj they gotta figure out the roles the fact they won lotus is miraculous
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#50]Wdym? I'm always unbiased on my takes
Bro you can't be this dense after you shit on all regions besides NA 🤦♂️
ZhangWei [#56]Bro you can't be this dense after you shit on all regions besides NA 🤦♂️
I mean i might be a little overzealous but still i try to make objective takes
dayyaan1 [#55]honestly a decent comparison, the difference is LEV fell off faster than they got on lol. drx spun their wheels a lot but looked really good at champions 2022, now their back to spinning their wheels like they were before champs
That's just fundamentals diff really. DRX fundamentals is top tier compared to LEV
Ailed [#54]Shao not on fade as well? Idk why they didn’t just take after NRG and put cnoob on kj they gotta figure out the roles the fact they won lotus is miraculous
Idk it seems ange1 and d00mbros been cooking too much with comps
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#57]I mean i might be a little overzealous but still i try to make objective takes
Most of the time you are so hell bent on politics too
HassanWillSaveAmerica [#26]That confuses me as well KR mentality has never been rigid but in Val they straight up so one dimensional
DUDE I SAW T1 AGAINST NRG
THEY WAITED 1 MINUTE AT THE SANDS IN LOTUS C
