emergency DRX buyout (temporarily)

#1

Dreoxx

if this SA allegation is true...

before the champs active roster lock in 3 days, drx need a new fifth.

could Rb be the key? He honestly can solve all the role issues DRX has.

too much proof behind it + drx will most likely save face and deal with the situation ASAP

better sooner than later, roster lock in 3 days and first matches and a little over a week.

there is no prep time and speculations are absolutely necessary.

According to other ppl the post said something about the esports player being in a lower finals. Valorant is the only game that had a lower finals recently with a korean team there.

as I've said in #17

the hint to DRX involvement is the original tweet of the victim.

the player is confirmed to be Korean. she said that this person played in the "Lower Finals". only game that had Lower Finals recently is Valorant. DRX is the only Korean team that played in the Lower Finals.

this person is pretty much confirmed to be a DRX Valorant player.

Could it be that the lower finals she is referring to might be a different one in a different game in the past? Not trying to deny but just want to know what the timeline could be if its a different Korean team/player

Couldn’t it be someone in tier 2? While it is a chance that it is drx other tournaments have lower finals as well.

Split 1 playoffs for t1 and t2 this would mean It could also be a player from T1 or the t2 teams not just drx

Not just that but why does it have to be recent tournaments? They could have just delayed speaking about it. Don’t throw shade at 1 ord

nah bro trust the korean fans, they are kicking drx ass rn asking to make a statement asap. also i have a proof, but im not sure if i can share it here. this is like 99% certain but fans refrain to said who is it cz defamation law in kr is crazy.

The thing is in VCL Korean challengers, the lower finals haven't happened yet. So it has to be one of the three rookie players currently on drx as that's the ONLY Korean team that has played a lower finals recently.

I asked another Korean user on this site the same thing in my comments, but they confirmed that it has to be drx because no other Korean team has recently played a lower finals and the girl used the word lower finals in her post.

Role clashes with BeYn and Foxy9 kinda

They would need a sentinel player; Esperanza's VCJ split is already over so could probably nab him, don't know much about the Korean Challengers scene but there's probably someone they can get

There's more than enough talent to replace this 5th.
Stew, Hyunmin, D H, Freeing, Persia, Dambi, Margaret, Francis, etc. you name a role there will be someone to fill it and do just as well if not better mechanically speaking. The only question is how quickly they can integrate themselves in the team.

if they need a quick stand-in they could just grab one of the ex-DRX VS players

stax, Rb, Zest and k1ng

can't get k1Ng sadly, he's doing his community service and isn't allowed to be employed.

Stax, Rb, and Zest are possible sure but honestly I'd like to see them pick up a new face. It's not like Termi didn't kick the former 3 for a reason anyway - I doubt he'd call them back if he has options.

the thing is that I feel like this is all too sudden for the team and staff as a whole

they wont have time to integrate a newbie into their system when Champs is starting soon… the best they can do is grab someone who is familiar with their already existing system

They phased out Rb and Zest before the year started, Stax is the only one with somewhat recent information on DRX's protocols. Moreover, Abyss was added as well.

Stew and Hyunmin are duelist mains and Stew probably has a fat buyout from JDG
DH or Freeing could work, but the latter still has lower finals to worry about
The last four players you mentioned also have Challengers to worry about, and will likely be the Ascension reps

Stew and Hyunmin are duelist mains but BuZz can flex to all roles, Stew doesn't need to be bought out to be a sub because both Stew and Hyunmin's years are done.

If this did happen, then why haven’t DRX kicked out a player. If it was true, DRX wouldn’t want backlash from the community. I hope and think this is one of those fake allegations rather than true.
