is DRX that good that they can win the whole masters ?
I'm putting them just bcs it's a top seed, not bcs they're going to win the tournament. DRX played against low seeds (and especially from BR and JP), them qualifying isn't more than expected. To say they're going to win the tournament, first need to pass throught all contenders, which is the already top 8 teams, we can't say they're going to win it all when they almost didn't got challenged in groups. And this applies to all teams, not just DRX, that's why I'm saying we can't say they're going to win so earlier.
You effectively just repeated what you said earlier. You're still saying they can't be considered as an actual contender unless they play teams like Loud. But what have Loud done to be worthy of title contention by being in top 8? Win in the statistically worst region without proving themselves to already established teams like Drx? Should be the other way around, not Drx desperately needing to prove themselves worthy by beating Loud who haven't achieved anything so far.

beating top teams like Acend and being statistically the 2nd best team in Berlin after being the only team to take maps off Gambit in playoff who were far and away the best team there, just unfortunate they met them in their first match
Loud Achievements...
Eh...
Eh? Winning in the statistically worst region in the world?
True but that doesn't mean all the other regions are equally crap. For example, Kr has already proven they are internationally competitive with a 3rd place finish by Nuturn, Drx oconvincingly beating top teams like Acend, and being statistically the 2nd best team in Berlin after being the only team to take maps off Gambit in playoff who were far and away the best team there, just unfortunate they met them in their first match of playoffs. On the contrary, regions like Brazil have been pretty miserable so far (with due respect).
no, they will fall short to teams like G2 and LOUD
they are very disciplined to the point where if u give them respect they will eat u alive.
but sometimes u can see it, if their very well structured setups fail they start to crumble and have to rely on individual clutches and performances, which will fail them against teams like G2 or LOUD probably, again if they give DRX too much respect like what happened today with nip(they didn't play their game they were too afraid to make mistakes and when they tried to drx was ready for them ) so it depends on how the teams will react.
in conclusion they are no gambit, when they fight teams that plays together well, i think they'll lose
but this is all depending on the games i saw in 2021 let's hope they bring better mid rounds calls this year
