I just cannot understand how can the management fumble the ball so hard with texture's role issues on GE

I can't understand how GE fumbled so hard with 3 great players like t3xture, monyet and lightningfast(less great but he is fast)

He's Barry Allen alright.

That could've been a world class roster if they managed to bring out the best in their players.

compared to rb and zest? hell no. if drx had there old roster and kept up their form from champs (need i remind you they almost beat fnc) they would have EASILY won madrid, and have qualed for shanghai. Recency bias is crazy, yall saying that the current drx is better when they cant even qual for events? old drx was top 2 in pacific, and consitently top 6-top 4 at intl.

Geng slams old drx, at least new drx stood a chance. Put some respect on BeYn's name

DRX wasn't getting the results they wanted with their old roster. DRX lost to the top 2 teams of Pacific during playoffs. Their strats with the old roster were getting too stale and predictable so imo their recent moves have been really solid.

The old roster could not follow the new meta quickly and just didnt function well. MANY ppl were asking for change and the DRX themselves replaced 2 veterans with 2 prospects who has great potential. 2023 Pacific playoffs, Masters Tokyo were the prime example.

yes because those problems were with the 6 man problem, not the og roster. Lets ignore DRX placing 3rd at lock//in (losing by 1 map against loud) for a second. Need i remind you what the og roster did at champs when they werent be fucked by the 6 man thing?
2-1 Loud (4th place team)
2-1 Navi (wouldve have beat other playoff teams if they werent stuck in group of death)
2-0 Blg (not even NRG could beat them TWICE)
Only losses were to EG (winners of the tourney, looked like the best team in the world BY FAR)
and FNC (winner of lock//in and tokyo, only lost to Loud at champs, argument could be made for best team itw) where they 13-1 them map 1 on their second best map, and would have beat them if a hurrcaine wasnt happening (no crowd gave FNC crazy advantage)

Now lets look at DRX this year
2-0 DFM and Talon to make it (wow such impressive teams)
Lose 0-2 to GenG (lost so many 1v2 1v3 etc, old drx never would have lost this game) FAIL TO QUAL for the very first time since reykajivik 21
Go undefeated in regular season against bums, not even geng is playing as good as they did at Madrid
Lose 1-2 to prx (fine whatever)
Lose 1-2 to geng (you were up map 1 and 7-1 on map 2 how tf did you throw this) which marks the third time (second this year) since DRX have never made a intl event.

Tell me how thats better.

i think it is because he was replacing aspas which their is really no player who could replace aspas (except something) but Loud don’t really have an option, aspas was gone no matter what

Ya like maybe Keznit could perform similarly in that aggressive style, but nobody else comes close tbh.

GE - 1/ removes monyet 🗿 , take benkai 🤓
2/ removes t3xture 🗿 , take blazeking 🤓
the only thing GE is good at in taking IGL
2023 - AYRIN 🗿
2024 - RUSS 🗿

GE had to sent bazzi away due to his military service
skrossi due to skill issue( agent issue + hate ) and AYRIN due to spin and bigtime nepotism
If the 2024 GE roster was t3xture,monyet,polvi,russ
and lightningfast believe me they could have easily dominated and atleast made it to the playoffs !!

C9 -xeta +curry was horrendous. Curry just didn't fit into the team well at all.
