few questions about drx

#1

sad_gambit_fan

now that they have qualified for champions and they dont have to go back to korea to play
why cant they bootcamp in eu or na for a month and just get better practice?
also when are they getting a mental coach?

To get practise against high tier teams. In asia there are very few top teir teams, and DRX already scrims against almost all of them. Staying in eu to scrim would give them more teams to play against.

DRX got rolled by FPX, XSET lost to leviatan which fnatic won against. so both FNC and FPX have beaten the same teams or better

I mean yeah, but it doesnt discredit the fact that optic is in the upper finals, and not FNC or FPX (yeah NA sucks, but optic isnt floptic, theyve proven their consistency)

oh yeah absolutely Optic is 100 Percent a top 5 team ITW at any time this year. probably top 3 or even the best depending on how the tournament ends. I was just saying that Optic hasnt proven that theys are better than FPX or FNC yet, everything can still happen

they should definitely bootcamp in EU. I honestly think their mental will improve with losing MORE and learning how to adapt and that starts in scrims. Look at all the teams with good mental, they all have lost quite a bit in their pasts and come back stronger.

i really dont understand how they dont have a mental coach
they have lost every single elimination match and they still have the same issues of players like mako or buzz or rb just not performing when they r in a lower bracket / elimination game

you would think the org would look at the results and notice that DRX are literally unable to win a lower bracket match and try to do something about it

also need to learn better midrounding, and only high level NA/EU teams do it at a high level.

they just need to be relaxed and relieve the pressure.
And scrimming whether in EU/NA would help a lot.

imo they r one of the strongest teams coming from east asia
and since they havent scrimmed against PRX since last masters i would assume they are just dominating scrims and are not learning as much as they could if they move to a region like NA or EMEA where the practice overall is better

alecks said PRX didnt scrim with DRX this year so their strat book wouldnt be leaked
yeah they need to lose more to relieve the pressure
it doesnt have to be scrims though. like playing comps with foreign players might help too

Actually good point, I feel like their org should commit to like a week or 2 week bootcamp before champions just to work on their mental and such. I feel like that's been their weakness.

this, they had a month long bootcamp last year after m3 but bootcamps overseas are very tiring and expensive
