delayed reaction but what in the actual 77.5kg american woman was t0rmi fucking smoking dropping stax??

the implications of returning flashback:

MaKo loses his role on viper (1.35 rating throughout stage 1 regular season, for reference aspas was 1.39 during the same period. ALSO 1.5 kd and over 80% KAST)
BeYn takes igl role (excellent player but never igl'd before??)
foxy9 goes back to flex/secondary duelist (I love foxy but he was dogshit until he switched to sentinel)
no more clearly defined initiator player (what the sigma)

WHAT A TIME TO HAVE A PLAYER LIKE RB, ESPECIALLY WITH NEON BUFFS??
WHAT A TIME TO HAVE A PLAYER LIKE ZEST FOR SOVA/FADE??

FUCK T0RMI FUCK THIS TEAM FREE MAKO

make stax igl when he doesn't want to, just to kick him after getting experience under his belt, just to put a new guy in the IGL spot...

literally nobody wanted to igl, blaming that on termi is just stupid. “Just to kick him” his been the igl for almost 2 years, ur acting as if he just started igling and they kicked him after it didn’t work out, he had plenty of time. “just to put a new guy” new guy that looks a lot more promising

Rb is the exact opposite player you want in a rebuild, not sure why this site glazes him. The team he fits best on is T1 or RRQ if he's ok comming in English, but the whole point of moving away from these older players is to raise your ceiling. We have 8 LANs of info to have seen Rb is a playoff underperformer and you don't want that on a young team.

Ya it's a rebuild. I wish people on this site watched actual sports. Maybe they'd have even a sliver of understanding of roster construction and contending windows. Their contending window was 2022-2023. The failed in it and they understood that they did. They didn't bring out this team in 2024 expecting to win. Is there really that much of a difference between missing but getting close and losing early against superior teams? You know what's actually important? This is the best their region has ever been and they're letting the best team the region has ever seen be good. Who's to say Gen.G and PRX will be good next year? Who's to say DRX can't be good. They've gotten two playoff series this year and have seen the following results:

An over 1 rating from both BeYN and Foxy9 in stage 1 playoffs. Rating isn't everything, but its the best general stat we have atm. They both look great.

Mak0 was amazing in kickoff and still very good in Stage 1. He is still a core part of their team

They figured out Stax isn't the IGL of the future. It's better to figure that out than to be in denial.

So they have a core of three really good players and none of them play the easiest position to find, Duelist. Buzz is probably not going to be on the team next year, but if BeyN can IGL and they find the duelist of the future then the team will be fantastic in 2024. That's how you rebuild.

if their intention was to rebuild with beyn as the igl why replace your initiator with a senti when your "flex" player was shining on senti, surely you intend on keeping him on that role right? would have been easier to free stax of igling and letting beyn handle it with no role issues...

Their main intention isn't to make the best possible team they can at the moment. The are trying to figure out what they can do to make the best possible team starting January 1st of 2025. We don't know what their best roles are yet. Look at the best players this year, how many of them started on the role they currently play?

Zekken was a sova player the first time he came to T1
Mak0 was a duelist when DRX picked him up
Texture played sentinel last year
N4rrate was a T2 duelist player before KC got him
Tenz, Johnqt, Bang, Chronicle, Leaf. I can go on and on.

If they didn't think Stax was a part of their future then they were right to get him off the team. Would you rather they wait until they're trying to be good to see which of Flashback or Foxy9 is better for sentinel. How do we know Foxy9 won't end up better as an initiator long term? They're experimenting, and if flashback can't find a spot on the team then he won't be on the team. I'd rather they give him and foxy the trial period than to wait until its too late.

if they keep replacing players every year there’s gonna be no chemistry between old and new players

look at zekken sacy tenz they’ve been together for years that’s why sen rebuild was successful

drx just look desperate

They're not going to keep replacing players. Beyn Mak0 and Foxy9 are almost assuredly playing together next year. How much of the FNC core from the year before had been playing together long term? Derke and Boaster sure, Alfajer had only been there for one year and then Leo and Chronicle come in. The best way to make a team good is to keep the good players and replace the bad ones. That's how most of the top teams have built their rosters up. Using SEN, a roster that has had immense turnover over the last 3 years, as your example of stability is laughable. Even teams like PRX, who has been known for having the same core for ages, replaced Benkai when he was performing poorly. That's just how you build teams and it has proven to work. They aren't desperate, and they don't care what the average reddit or vlr user says about them. They know that this team will not win champs in 2024, and when they ultimately lose people are going to say this was a poor plan. It wasn't. This is the correct way to go about things.

drx fans hate termi with a passion its so funny. he came to the realization that old drx was never going to win a championship hard truth but thats reality so hes trying to build a better team 1 piece at a time if beyn proves he can igl great if he cant say goodbye to buzz and hello to yoman. stax has never been a great igl but vs fans will try to convince you he was. they are taking this 1 step approach to building a roster that can win a championship stop hating on the people personally just because your favorite player got dropped just go support them on whatever team they join next cuz your clearly not a fan of the org.

the problem with termi was the shit that happened last year with not calling timeouts and a rotating 6 man roster plus the fact that drx has not revolutionized the meta much at all in recent times like they used to . Stax was a decent igl but he never liked igling and his performance tanked. The one step approach is appreciated but drx looked very good in split 2 losing to a geng that gained their form mid fucking match and prx who were on a fucking heater then. also who tf is a fan of an org you should be a fan of the players or a coach 😭 .

there wasn’t a rotating 6-man roster. Whoever told you that is a lia. Foxy9 play 8/9 regular season game. Didn’t play the last bc it didn’t matter. He play the upper semis and then upper final but when DRX lost in the upper final, he got benched, then they tried doing it with foxy9 again at masters and it didn’t work out, then he got benched for champs.

That not calling timeout thing only happened in regular season. whoever told you it was a constant thing was lying to you.

Flashback is a significant firepower increase to stax and the fact that DRX chokes so much is a testament to the igl not doing well in the team. Replacing him and starting over will always be the better decision than settling for the same shit over and over again

they were still rotating players in and out tho? they lost the ts match and switched to foxy9 and played zest against t1 and prx in the playoffs. this seemed like a coach being indecisive swapping players in and out depending on performance they did finally stop these shenanigans but that is way too much time to make up your mind because zest and foxy9 did underperform whenever they were brought in.

the timeout thing still happened it is to explain drx's rep.

causing role issues to fucking increase your firepower is just dumb because foxy was shitting on everyone while on senti. Also everyone in that team chokes it is termi's fault that he made stax the igl against his will. Then on top of that he benched him and then made beyn the fucking igl? does he need to complicate it that much with so much on the line?

that’s not rotating, they played the first 8 game with foxy and switched him out for a game that didn’t matter to them since they alr secured 1st seed.

Timeout thing happened a couple times against mediocre teams at the time teams.

They don’t have role issues

Foxy9 is a flex
BuZz is a flex
Beyn is a Flex

They played foxy for tokyo when they had good results with z0st and this is as close to a rotating roster as you can get without it being a 6 man roster.

They have role issues unless they put flashbacl on viper jail Or teach someone other than beyn initiator ot smokes.

Foxy looked lost on flex he seems to be a really good sentinel player. Beyn is very flexible but but mainly plays durlist and senti. There are three players who primarily play/used to play senti or/and duelist.
