PokeKidMax [#12]Just so you all know this is after they signed Athan until 2028
so it’s probably athan’s decision… and they respected his decision
W org as always, putting the players first

still does fuck over DRX right before the season no? very weird move
PokeKidMax [#14]still does fuck over DRX right before the season no? very weird move
look at athan's matches and tell me who's actually fucking DRX
bilim [#10]wait, why athan getting dropped? he good no???
He's definitely has potential to be a great player but I think from what we saw during the off-season games, he wasn't playing to the expectations people placed on him.
PokeKidMax [#14]still does fuck over DRX right before the season no? very weird move
yeah, but it’s only kickoff, plus it’s not like he’s completely new, also DRX got 2nd in Pacific after making huge changes, so i’m fine.
jubby [#16]He's definitely has potential to be a great player but I think from what we saw during the off-season games, he wasn't playing to the expectations people placed on him.
he literally was at the start but then he flopped
H3ENnZ [#24]Still fells short against PRX (Yes i know prx) and T1, maybe even GENG
Also GE has a chance to win against them but not sure about that
simply not true. this DRX roster (-foxy9 -buzz +free1ng +hyunmin) should be perceived as AT LEAST equal to last year's roster (better than PRX). losing buzz is negated by mako being off igl.
Hynix [#27]simply not true. this DRX roster (-foxy9 -buzz +free1ng +hyunmin) should be perceived as AT LEAST equal to last year's roster (better than PRX). losing buzz is negated by mako being off igl.
AT LEAST equal to last year's roster is crazy saying, hyunmin is infinitely a downgrade compared to Buzz, and DRX werent that much better than PRX that year anyways, and free1ng is not a better IGL compared to either Mako or stax

okay bro, u don’t even know what ur talking about, even MaKo disagrees with you

free1ngs igling has been fine? why are we pretending mako's igling was that good, the only person who did that during the season was me but that's only because i needed to cope about mako not fragging.
-mid igling +mid igling (neutral trade)
-buzz +hyunmin (negative trade)
-foxy9 +free1ng (neutral trade, since free1ng is igl)
-mako igl +mako pure controller (extremely positive trade, going from mid controller to literally the GOAT of controllers)
AT LEAST just as good on paper.

Did i call Makos IGL was good? I only said that Free1ng is a worse IGL compared to mako. You even said free1ngs igl has been fine not great. Letting a rookie IGL will always strike you back one day (Mark my words when DRX doesnt make bangkok)
Also +hyunmin -buzz is an extremely negative trade which neutralizes Mako being a full time controller again.
jubby [#16]He's definitely has potential to be a great player but I think from what we saw during the off-season games, he wasn't playing to the expectations people placed on him.
It's normal because he has to fill the role of stax, as an igl and also an initiator. for the off season I can say he's pretty good but not amazing though. I hope he can play in the T1 team in the future.
xineFso [#25]notice how many previous DRX’s player have decided to drop on their own DRX must pressures their players a lot
pressure them to play good? what r u on about

ok so you AGREE that free1ng's igling has been fine and yet you insist mako's was better even though it WASN'T good? what are you saying.
also yeah DRX probably won't make it to bangkok, they're competing with GENG, NS, and PRX for the other spot with T1, each are 50/50 matches esp with new DRX imo.

come on you know what i meant dont let that bias blind you

??? reread my comment did I say that free1ng's IGL was good? YOU are the one who said free1ngs IGL was fine dumbah
Also in another thread you said "AT LEAST equal to last year's roster" which contradict with your words in this thread you bafoon
Competing with GENG, NS, PRX, T1 means that they will most likely be top 4 Pacific team which is worse than their regional performances last year

That's pretty much the whole of korea when it comes to Esports, they take it VERY seriously
ZekaTheGoat [#37]That's pretty much the whole of korea when it comes to Esports, they take it VERY seriously
Yes when something is too much it’s not always good and nothing wrong with that if the player couldn’t take it they leave ,Org find a new one

only innit. their igl is freeing.

athan is young + he gets to compete under DRX prospects. Not a bad thing for him at all.
xineFso [#25]notice how many previous DRX’s player have decided to drop on their own DRX must pressures their players a lot
everything is agreed between the coaching staff and players, and the official statement comes out. Previous players and pressure? Stax wanted a new challenge, rb and zest had talks with the coaches too. foxy literally calls termi "bro" in korean. athan was clearly not good enough and they made the decision to bring back beyn and allow athan to play for prospects. nothing "crazy pressure" about this one tbh
xineFso [#38]Yes when something is too much it’s not always good and nothing wrong with that if the player couldn’t take it they leave ,Org find a new one
KR take esports seriously but its not "too much". if you don't know about the scene well, just dont make wild assumptions about it, it aint that hard.

ah my bad. i thought their igl was athan. but was athan ever an igl?

You should actually check out PUBG PC scene of Korea. Recently a player retired and he actually confessed that their coach used to hit them with actual bat. And another player complained a lot about the environment as well. The orgs were geng and dnw. Valo might not be the same tho.

Don't argue anymore. Most of these are koreaboos obsessed with Korea. So they can't tolerate anything bad against Korea like those weebs.
teilwal [#21]stage 1 merchant
Yeah nope , he did had his fare shair of good stuff in stage 2 and champs

im korean and also watched heaps of PUBG pc and NEVER saw any news like that. I searched it up after seeing your comment but i still can't find the source of wtv you are saying.
Seo_w [#49]thanks to BuZz
BuZz was DRX’s best player for like a month total in his entire 3 year tenure with the team.
gordonramsay [#53]Very good move by DRX but they should have done this earlier smh, athan was clearly not ready for Tier 1
yeah, VCT teams notoriously announce decisions right away instead of usually waiting a couple weeks for stuff to finalize
gordonramsay [#53]Very good move by DRX but they should have done this earlier smh, athan was clearly not ready for Tier 1
but you'll see people somehow relating this to kr scene in general and how pressurised and toxic it is. internet community be like:

Just check subreddit of competitivepubg lol. Blinded by your obsession with Korea. Adder, Loki talked about the PUBG scene in their stream and Korean fans or guys who watched them have created a post there.

wdym obesseion, i literally said i cant find the source AND im korean.

Change the flag back to Korea man. why are putting that Australian flag? You love Korea so show your support through actions. Also you should have found out the thing now. It's in competitivepubg subreddit. And I heard similar things in overwatch too. About bullying.

because i've been living in Australia all my life. rich coming from international waters but tbh that flag is pretty.

not you again go away
twxnty [#8]will still somehow get 5th/6th at champs
btw it's crazy how back then DRX/VS getting 5-6th was a bad thing because they were chokers but now getting 5-6th is considered something great how far the standards have fallen for this team </3
bilim [#45]ah my bad. i thought their igl was athan. but was athan ever an igl?
no, if im not mistaken he's originally a duelist
