Ngl I'm kinda happy because their gameplay is very boring, I find MaKo to be very overrated and overall I want to see something new rather than just DRX being solid but nothing more.

They are still a great team tho and I will be hoping for them to comeback strong

The_Cleg when a player is super consistent with their game sense and util and doesn't just out aim people 😴😴

Pretty much true, but actually I like MaKo's gameplay. I just don't like DRX's gameplay overall. Actually this year with flashback and foxy theyve looked more entertaining to me, but in the end it's just personal preference

You don't have to agree with me!

That i agree with, i think they were more dynamic this year but saying mako is overrated is insane. He's always consistent and rarely trolls, which is just perfect for controller players and is needed if you wanna be a top team.

Probably you are right, and he still is the best controller itw, there's no doubt about it. But I just find him so underwhelming that I can't rate him as high as most people do. I'm probably biased but 🤷‍♂️

Still a top 15 player itw tho.

Also, the fact that he basically hasn't won anything in his career is very important to me. Ofc valorant is a team game but if you are that good you should be able to do something no?

"Ofc valorant is a team game but if you are that good you should be able to do something no?"

if your team is just worse than the opposite team then no you are not going to win. You can win maps and make your team go on a run but winning a tournament ain't that easy.

I feel like you are just ignoring the lvl of team Mako had to go up against. Optic, Loud, FNC. Look at the lineups of those teams and tell me besides Mako, who in DRX is just outright better than besides Loud in Lockin where they had 2 rookies, Stax also isn't a good IGL, Bro started to igl in latter half of 2021, Zest was igl for 2022 besides Champs, and stax was igl again in 2023.

These were the teams they lost to and never were they favored. Hell, mako alone gave them that 3rd place run at champs. DRX would've lost to FNC was it not for mako in champs 2022.

I totally agree with you, but I still can't put MaKo that high if he hasn't won anything.

Is it his fault? No.
Is it DRX's fault? Maybe.

But still I can't put him that high up if he's not won anything.
Also it's not like if I'm saying he's dogshit. He's the goat controller and the best right now, but I still think he's overrated.

You obviously can disagree with me, but for me wins are over anything.

"I can't put s1mple that high if he hasn't won a major"

what you would say before s1mple in 2021.

"I can't put niko that high if he hasn't won a major"
Is niko not top 10 cs players of all time bc he hasn't won a major?

I feel like you have never competed in a team environment before

I don't follow cs and Ive never had, but for what I know, MaKo is uncomparable to s1mple

Yea but we also aren't saying mako is number 1 in the world, the comparison is relative and so it works

Such A dumb reason not to rate someone in a team game. No matter how good you are you just can't carry your whole team. Less can't do it, yay can't do it, aspas can't do it, and not can demon1 alfa or derke

I don't know what you want me to say.

Was DRX beating actual tier 2 teams exciting to you last year? Teams like GE talon etc.

To me it wasn't, but to each their own

Then why do you have to bring fnatic in when they've bested the most good teams at LAN events in 2023

All I'm saying is that I find DRX's gameplay kinda boring.
If you don't, more power to you
