I've always knew foxy9 was mid but beyn I thought he was gonna be good but unfortunately nah. Flashback is insane has to be Top 5 sentinels itw. Rb and zest run it back we get a trophy next year.

they need a time machine to go back before they dropped rb, keep mako rb flashback +IGL + any korean insane duelist saya works and theyd be better than 2024 DRX

the biggest thing is Termi is a really poor coach, DRX as an org have been covering up for him by switching igls all the time, but its insane lol

Ive hates termi last year but honestly he really stepped it up. He completely nuked the roster before the regionals and still made champs and for 5-6th.

both lost 2-1, one showed up for his team one didnt, one is "top 3 duelist apac" LOL

most defended player in VCT for nothing, i think you all just fancy him

that was in 2022 not 2024, and buzz was off his main duelist and rb was main duelist

doesn't that prove my point even more? if buzz isn't performing the team loses so that makes him important in the team winning?

id agree that makes him important to the team winning, the thing is tho, if youre always under performing in elimination games not only are you important to the team, youre holding them back

the thing is you're attributing him playing bad to it being an elimination game but maybe its an elimination game because he's playing bad idk if I'm making sense

sure i guess hes important, but hes always choking, and thats a fact atp

i dont hate him or think hes shit, just not kangkang,zekken, or texture, and you arent going to win a event with a average duelist

the closest DRX got to winning a trophy, you can easily say that they would have won if they had a duelist that can take over games

The thing is buzz isn't the heavy fragging type but more of the space making duelist. He's really good at his job at making space for his team to push up with and often gets frags while in contested areas. He's also good with the op as well so I'd call him pretty balanced. No way I'd replace him with saya tho

bro im being so serious go look at DRX match history, look at all of DRX elimination games at LANs going back to fucking 2022, this dude is allergic to good performances, and he has like no haters and everyone blames beyn and foxy9

i remember a DRX 9-3 lead vs loud at champs where they looked favorites to win the tournament, then buzz goes -15 or something to lose map1 11-13 and they get stomped map 2

DRX fans hate themselves if they rate buzz

buzz turns up only in games that DRX stomp and he should be criticized more that's true.
but i don't think sayaplayer is significantly better, lest we nitpick his results.
also foxy9 is so, so much worse than buzz.

mako and flashback are great, buzz and beyn are mid, foxy9 sucks.

Rb had a terrible track record. And this is coming from a long time drx fan. He was the guy everyone blamed because he genuinely could not frag to save his life on the international stage. He only fixed up a bit in 2023 but then the entire team was in a slump. While I am happy that he is doing fine on TEC now, he had a lot of reasons to get dropped by drx. Mako was and still is the most consistent player on drx, and flashback is his only true support when times get tough and everyone is choking. The old drx was only really good at choking on the international stage.

nah Rb redeemed himself at Champs 22 playing the flex and stepping up big. 23 all of DRX struggled because of term0s shit 6th man idea. Rb litterally played every role and almost every agent ust to appease the rest of his team and he still did well. He got dropped because Termi decided they needed another change (despite all the evidence on the contrary) and he wasnt gonna take out buzz/mako due to skill and stax because he was igl

Sure if you want to argue that he redeemed himself in champs 2022 that's fine. I personally thought he did extremely well in 2022 and he was the overall highest rated player on drx in 2023, even if it wasn't a good rating. But the team was falling apart and when you look at the history of the team, rb was the easy choice. Stax was igling and buzz, while being a chronic choker, was still considered better than other alternative duelist options. Drx had enough reason to drop him if you look objectively. Yeah sure he was able to play lots of agents, but the team had clearly stagnated. The 2023 off-season was the final nail in the coffin. That team capped out at 5th to 6th, whether you want to admit it or not. It took me some time to come to terms with the roster shuffle too, and I don't think drx did the right thing, but they had enough reason to understand why they made the choice.

Foxy has been alot better this year compared to last year and BeyN was so good when he was on controller but they had to switch roles. Mako has been alot more comfortable on Igl than at the start. This is a projekt bro they are all young give them some time

The real problem of drx is Buzz on duelist. He's a great Jett but he's ass on movement duelists like neon and raze. He'd be much better off as senti or flex because his biggest strength is bis rifling anyway. What i suggest for them to do is have Hyunmin, someone who's not only a better aimer but can also play movement duelists, play duelist and have Buzz flex. Buzz is simply a better Rb so using him as a flex should be a no brainer

Ig BuzZ himself wanted to flex, dats y they took Foxy9 as duelist,
But he came out to be worse
So BuzZ had to revert back to duelist
