After a number of years with DRX Prospects, BeYN finally got his chance on the main roster in 2024, coming in to replace Flashback after Kickoff. BeYN's addition helped DRX retain their place in the upper echelons of VCT Pacific despite moving on from their longstanding starting five. DRX placed second in Stage 2, and finished the season with a top-six finish at Champions. Following the season's conclusion, BeYN was let go from the team as DRX planned to rebuild for 2025.

Athan was the final piece of DRX's refreshed 2025 roster. Although his time with the team was short, he participated in multiple offseason events. Athan debuted with DRX at the TEN Asia Invitational, where they found a win against the eventual tournament winners of Gen.G Gen.G Korea Rank #1 Foxy9 Jung Jae-sung (정재성) t3xture Kim Na-ra (김나라) Munchkin Byeon Sang-beom (변상범) yoman Chae Young-moon (채영문) Karon Kim Won-tae (김원태) , but ended up finishing in third.

Finally, Athan played among the DRX Changers DRX Changers Japan Unranked lucky Dia Healing Won Yoo-jin (원유진) YOME Ache roster at the Pacific Spotlight Series, placing third.

they probably do somewhat worse at kickoff based off this but otherwise seems like a lateral move tbh
and given they're likely to face NS in uppers and DFM in lowers if they lose to Nongshim their path at kickoff was already difficult

Athan isn't terrible but Beyn clears easily, no way they do worse with this change

at kickoff they absolutely do worse lmao they sacrificed their whole offseason and will be showing up with way less practice as a group than everyone else
as i said outside of that they will be basically unchanged

that’s not really how that works, we’ve seen teams actually look immediately better when changing a singular support player more times than looking worse

This got nothing to do with termi, Athan stepped down the only thing termi did was "approve it" and i say that term losely cause i dont think something like this needs coach permission

Lol what? Something like this always needs management + coach permission. You’re talking about contracts here. Can’t just step down willy nilly and expect to earn the same money etc

Gotta be tripping if you think he could decide this completely by himself

Im talking coach specifically no crap it requires management permission. Notice how i didnt mention "management" though cause it wasn't the topic.

No one ever said he makes the decision on his own. Try again lil bro

who has decided to step down from the starting roster and compete with DRX Prospects in 2025.

it literally says that he is competing with DRX prospects, not a release. As for the reasons, no one knows for sure.

Bro, I used the word release in the sense of asking whether or not Athan published an official answer. Never did I say Athan got released, did you even read the message?

Resigning Beyn and dropping Athan after two months is honestly a much less questionable decision than it was to drop Beyn and sign Athan in the first place lol. Good move imo, basically saying "oops, we fucked up with that one, we're fixing it"
