WHAT STAX TOLD MAKO BEFORE HE LEFT DRX

MaKo went on stream and said

"After Stax left and I had to become IGL I didn't realise Stax was carrying/dealing with so many things...Stax told me before he left, 'once you're the IGL, you start to get hasty and just go out and die first'...He was so right. Who's IGLing on T1? It's not Stax. If it was Stax he wouldn't have aced on Breach that game."

"This is messed up. Why am I the senior of the team? When I first joined DRX, only BuZz was my junior. Where did everyone go? They all left...am I next? The GEN.G guys, their junior is Karon....he's the same age as me. So why am I the senior here?? I want some seniors too!"

"When I watched the replay of the recent game, they said the old DRX feel was gone. They're right, it's definitely different. But when 3 of 5 players are gone then it can only be different."

Free my boys from Termi PLEASE

edit: for anyone curious, here's the link to the video i translated if anyone wants to try translating it themselves.

https://youtube.com/watch/JQ8QMREFjUY

the comments are basically saying the same thing as the replies here. so in terms of tone u can kinda infer that not much was lost in translation. i interpreted it (along with most if not all the koreans who watched the video if u look at the replies) as mako kinda being lighthearted about the struggle. i also doubt he'd be publicly down and sad about the situation. he is streaming after all.

there is also a fiveK video on that channel talking about drx that i can translate if ppl want.

shit made me cry fucking hell igling should not be as stressful as it is on drx

Hello it is me Termi i will Fix it

shit made me cry fucking hell igling should not be as stressful as it is on drx

makes me wonder what my glorious king Puchan is going through

what an orrible year to be mako

But mako is experienced so why is he comparing to karon by age?
also definately bro needs a igl so bad:(

feelsbadman

i dont understand

Makes me feel bad for Klaus ngl

"i want some seniors too" is such an adorable thing to say if it werent lowkey sad

But mako is experienced so why is he comparing to karon by age?

Karon is the youngest guy on GEN.G and MaKo is the oldest guy on DRX, but they're the same age. MaKo, as senior, needs to take a lot of responsibility and be the IGL and older veteran presence on the team. Karon doesn't have to deal with that and can play his own game.

MaKo is just kinda stressed with the pressure I think. Not only does he have to IGL, he also has to be the reassuring voice of the team to these young new players, while sacrificing his own individual performance. So he'll probably get flamed a lot for not performing in game.

MaKo is ice cold on stage, but actually he's pretty emotional offstage so I worry for his mental health.

DetonationFocusMeiy [#8]

i dont understand

which part

this made me so sad that mako had to go through such stuff FUCK U TERMI GO AWAY

I still don’t understand why they dropped stax. Like they were clearly the 3rd best team in Pacific. They just got unlucky Gen.G trolled the upper bracket game against T1.

If they kept the same roster they would easily qualify for Champs. Now they’re probably not even making Champs

Reading this thread honestly makes me miss 2022 DRX

it sucks because I always considered stax their X factor, if he did good then the rest of DRX would do amazing... I see why it was so hard for them to do amazing

Hello DRX DerrickRose I am new coach thank you for reading.

-Termi
*glow to HC

+rebuild the whole roster with Buzz, MaKo, BeyN with a proper IGL and they're back

damn bro this is so sad
termi suck. destroying old DRX

i kinda understand mako, drx just completely fucked over chemistry by removing all the old players and now buzz is probably gonna be kicked too for a new player, hes now the oldest player and the only old veteran

probably has insane pressure while previously him stax buzz would be able to handle it bc they were 3 veterans

Reading this thread honestly makes me miss 2022 DRX

been missing them since zest and rb got dropped i really miss drx 2022 :((

For sure. I seriously think that only one change is necessary and that's Foxy9 out, Flashback ---> Sentinel and then just bring in a legit IGL. Flashback and Beyn look great

thats right, he's been carrying those bums with his gigabrain
honestly the government might force brain surgery on him because his mind control is too good

I love you archie

This is the reality of being IGL when your team start sucking people also blame you most of the time... look at boaster with fnatic and haodong with EDG... Igl are just on the chopping block.

iluckilyVA [#25]

yoman? they dont have a good initiator player rn beyn isnt doing great on flash ones so he can go to recon init and secondary smokes where he has looked good. The possibilities are endless with this roster you just need the right pieces.

and then there's redgar 🤣

letting stax go was dumb, if anything t0rmi bot should have been kicked

t0rmi is a fking joke! how this guy has hold his spot for so long?

this is sad

termid casually ruining DRX🔥🔥

tbf mako said those with humourous nuance but srsly termid is ruining this team day by day holy shit

ItsMeDio [#31]

and then there's redgar 🤣

deffo got done dirty

funny cause i think igl and coach will shift blame on each other if a team start doing poorly... term0 won

ItsMeDio [#31]

redgar is special there is nobody dropping the numbers he is right now

making the best player on your team IGL is fucking absurd, should never have happened

Ullyr [#38]

he seem to always wins somehow in the discussion he pisses me off this termid

When they kicked RB ik it would go down. He has wide agent pool, it make no sense

just goes to show hate towards boaster is simply because people dont like his exuberant character which is what makes him so cool. igling is very difficult and it affects ur performance heavily

In Korean culture, the coach will always win cause they’re usually older and in terms of hierarchy coach > player

bro said exuberant and glazed Boaster on a post about Mako's struggles.

guys don’t overreact to this, if you were in the stream at the time, he said this in a joking way and all of this wasn’t said at the same time. He was basically replying sarcastically to people trolling him in chat

If you know anything about their sports/Esports culture you'd know that that's not true. In fact it's actually the opposite, it's always the coach that's first to get blamed

i think people just do not like you have you ever thought about that

drx fell off already when they bench rb n zest, they need to disband and full rebuild around those junior, let mako and buzz go

this is so fuking sad man

Derpp [#36]

tbf mako said those with humourous nuance but srsly termid is ruining this team day by day holy shit

i mean yea dawg is streaming. it sounded like he was kinda laughing thru the pain. shit got real kinda briefly when he's like "am i next [to go]?"

I know BeYn is younger than them by 2 years. But i still think i should’ve been him that was igl. You just can’t make your best performing player an igl, tanking his ability to popoff tanks the teams overall ability as well, Plus, BeYn can do some flexing, and let flashback flex as well. I still think DRX haven’t shown everything and are just testing things out. I think there is gonna be a massive improvement from now up until playoffs in terms of overall team synergy and individual performance. I will never lose my trust in this team

it really doesnt help when foxy9 is a ranked god but shits his pants on stage every time. A whole damn fraud. Buzz is becoming another fraud cuz he still at the same hurdle he was at 2 years ago.

idk about foxy9 anymore but I wanted BuZz off duelist. When he plays well, DRX are so good, but his bad games makes it near impossible for DRX to win. A role like sentinel suits him way more because it gives him room for a bad map and still be important to the team.

I really don’t know about duelist.

Because the more I look back at things. from 2023 onwards. The duelist role has always been iffy. If they really wanted to try something new.

They should have tried BeYn on duelist. Foxy9 on Initiator(Initiator, imo is the role where you can literally bottom frag all the time but still be extremely valuable to the team)

Keep Flashback on a comfort role that he’s been playing on for years and start from there.

At the end of the day, i don’t really know what the fix is, i just hope they know, or I hope they were just experimenting and can lock in when they have to

damn
this is sad

bring back the real DRX pls.

And Termi had the nerve to call Stax a fraud

never said that but okay

merciless-pity8989-89 [#77]

never said that but okay

He literally did? He said this after firing Stax in an interview

This is something I’ve always wanted to do. PRX making change inspired me to do the same. But the team has a strong bond together so I am planning to remove them one by one. Stax is a fraud igl carried by me and will never do anything alone. Now that the fraudulent igl is gone we will win everything this year.

He said he's planning to remove them one by one that's why Mako is worried he might be next

T0rmi vs Ch0t
whos worse

Free my glorious king Mako and let him enjoy his role

merciless-pity8989-89 [#77]

nah there's an entire video about him saying something along those lines. idk where it is but somebody posted it on VLR

Can I get a link to this video? it sounds like youre making shit up or are misunderstanding something because "fraud" is not a term used in a korean like its used in english here. like its only used for actual fraudulent activity and not just an underperforming person or sth.

yea but you also said Stax responded in T1's recent vlog and I didn't see that either.

https://www.vlr.gg/post/3716065/termi-laugh-thread

Your story doesn't add up bruh. You said Stax responded to the vid and here you're saying "let's hope stax didn't see the vid" lol

i already said termi is the real problem not the stax,rb and zest is washed back when its first kickoff on livestram and no one believes it

TakoSaki [#84]

flashback looks quite good, i think just -foxy9 +yoman would be a good direction

depends on the roles because what i was thinking was buzz on senti, mako on smokes, beyN on duelist not to say buzz isn't a good duelist but i think it could work imo
