DRX recent roster change

Looking at the most recent games of DRX during Split 1 and Playoffs, I noticed that Foxy9 has been consistently underperforming in nearly all games.
In their last 7 games (5 from split 1 and 2 from playoffs), Foxy9 went positive in just one of them (+3 against ZETA).

In the other 6 games he went:

-12 against PRX
-7 against RRQ
-1 against Talon
-9 against DFM
-10 against Talon (they won this game 13-8 and 13-4 btw)
-11 against GenG

Considering all this, getting rid of Stax after Split 1 seems like a pretty poor decision, especially since Stax and Foxy share a few agents in their pool (Breach, Kayo).
I know that Stax didn't want to igl anymore, but he is still a very solid player who consistently performs better than Foxy. Its also probably easiest to learn how to play Sentinel agents (the agents that Foxy is primarily playing)

-stax just feels like a hasty decision unlike a proper calculated rebuild just cuz they failed to make shanghai, stax is actually a better breach and kayo and could frag like he used to if they were gonna give igl to mako anyways

i didnt realize this damnnn what’s going on with him? i feel like he’s being played agents he’s not super comfortable with, they have serious role issues

yeaa also proven by how well he did on T1 despite them only winning 2 games in split 2. Also Stax had been with the team for years at this point, removing him messed with their chemistry even more

Yup, he was bad on flex then performed well on sentinel, now they have him back on flex

not sure if its necessarily a role thing, he had the same problem last year when they put him in high pressure games on duelist. Flashback goes crazy whenever he is on sentinel, I think Foxys agent pool is just super limited in general, dont think its the main reason for him underperforming

Maybe it was a chem thing where Stax may have trouble being IGLd by people he’s led for years

All bc of t0rmi

health issues

Foxy9 went from main duelist to flex (mainly kayo) to sentinel to flex. When he finally started getting used to the sentinel role, they swapped his role.

Not today
all his lurks and setups found 0 value
It was mostly Mako who was opening sites

He looked his best on sentinel but now back to flex looks pretty shaky

god damn it

That is because FOXY9 was owning on sentinel and had gotten comfortable in that role but was switched to initiator role because he was only guy fragging and the team wasn't now he has to use his utilities and brain more than aim and now flashback is fragging more than usual with the sentinel role
and the team is winning except today
