Flashback: DRX’s Rising Star Shines in a Stellar Rookie Year
Pacific Number: 9
Global Number: N/A
Rating: 1.07
Age: 18
Nationality: Korean
Flashback’s journey with DRX began as a prospect, but his outstanding performances during the 2023/24 offseason quickly earned him a place in the starting lineup for 2024. Despite a brief hiatus during Stage 1, Flashback has made a significant impact in his rookie year, proving himself as a key player for DRX.
Starting the season as the team’s sentinel, Flashback quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, finishing as the second-highest rated player on DRX during the Pacific Kickoff event. However, after the event, he took a short break, only to return in Stage 2 in a crucial role. Flashback stepped in to replace veteran IGL stax, not as the in-game leader but as a versatile flex player. His return marked a turning point for DRX, as he emerged as the team’s top performer, leading them to a 2nd place finish and securing their spot at Champions Seoul.
At Champions, Flashback continued to impress, returning to his sentinel duties after swapping roles with Foxy9. His consistent and impactful performances were instrumental in guiding DRX’s relatively inexperienced roster to a commendable 5th-6th place finish in his debut year on the international stage. Flashback’s steady influence and high-level play throughout the year have earned him the 9th spot on the Pacific 10, solidifying his reputation as one of the region’s most promising talents.
