roster consisting of 5 mechanically talented players
stomped their region
rough in the midround
they're oddly similar for the massive distance in between them!
trembolonaRage [#2]its all about hype
brazilians used to say the same about VKS in 2021
"wow frz is insane"
"wow sutecas is fu**** good"and then we all know what happened
the other four vikings players were so trash.
with a player like GTNJESUS, i don't understand how they lost. He is a literal god.
not5kin [#4]Drx didn’t really even stomp their region, they lost to onsl2yers in the group stage I believe.
Still an interesting comparison though!
drx also almost got 2-0 by wgs and loud had an extremely close game against havan. both still stomped though lol
HORRIBLE COMPARISON
DRX mid rounding now is good under Zest.
Its their late rounds I am concerned with, they just int sometimes without any utility.
I would say DRX now is just a shittier Gambit. They play slow af. Anyone on their squad can win rounds at times and throw away rounds under high pressure.

i don't have any evidence but from what I watched DRX's postplants were really solid - holding crosses, good spacing, util, the works.
what cucked them was getting picked on the entry into site then floudering for the remaining 1 minute before bursting into another site and losing to numbers.
I kinda disagree with the Gambit comparison, since their strength lies in their rock-solid fundamentals and fantastic calling whereas with a team like DRX, it seems like they rely more on elaborate site execs and a deep playbook - similar to Fnatic in a way.

DRX don't do execs anymore. Its a part of their strat but calling them a exec heavy team is just looking at past DRX. Their retake is what I meant, they can hold sites on attack yes but can't retake on defence on some days. The maps they lost to against WGS they won 3 defense rounds. The map they went on OT against ONS2 they won 3 defense rounds. They can't adapt well on defence at times.
