termi is great, he had all of korean talent horded for 4 season and solo won a trophy before him

not even joking, bro's been coaching this roster for almost 5 years, most coaches that have actually won trophies don't even have that kinda longevity

hoarding what, he has lakia, who isn’t even that good, he had BuZz, a professional choker. Rb can’t get a job outside china. Zest probably will be the same. Stax cant igl despite given over a year of time to practice it. BeYN probably going to china. Foxy going to either china or GE. MaKo is the exception. Flashback also another exception. Tell me, what talent is he hoarding???

i know its hard to comprehend but VS/DRX controlled where most of top korean talent went besides for saya and xeta for the first few years

k1ng and lakia for example

this is the first season where drx didnt have a complete monopoly on korean talent and its also the first year where a korean team made a finals, and won another

you can’t say that DRX had a monopoly of the korean talent and then cite no proof whatsoever

they kept the same roster for 3 years. the only player they "monopolized" was lakia in 2021. its not fair to say that because buzz and mako also started off as players on weaker and unknown teams (buzz after c9 korea went to basically a 5 stack team), and as geng proved to us, there are so many fantastic players in korea.

Who’s playing flash and info initiator? On paper they have 2 senti/controller flex players (Flashback and freeing) and one dedicated controller (Mako).

Gamergirl is a number one termi hater. They can't appreciate termi's work from behind the scenes. I've even tried explaining why I think termi is a very good coach despite the choices he made with rosters to gamergirl but they don't want to listen or understand.

and i explained to you how his rosters are objectively bad and he keeps around the wrong players, forces random people to igl

do we not remember when termi had his baddy era and decided to not call timeouts so stax could IGL better LOL

cost them a few wins icl, but besides from that, drx are pretty good under him! imagine keeping all korean talent to yourself for 3 years just to never win a trophy, but yeah if the objective is being a high ranked loser termi is amazing!

that literally didn’t cost them a single win, the impact of him not calling timeouts was way overblown

if your igl cant call

you sign an igl, termi superiority complex thinks he can mold an igl

impressed by this years roster building, so kudos to him, but still, mako igl, termi will not be anything more than regional winners

things need to change for drx, you keep pointing fingers at everyone but termi, in 2-3 years you're gonna be looked at as the org that somehow didnt win a single major with mako, a player who dominated as the best in his role for 2+ years lul

I don't think it's completely termis fault that the team choked multiple times although some of the blame does fall on him for that. But the reason why drx was ever relevant was because of his style of coaching which prioritised focus on the fundamentals of the game. He also cooked up really good strats and that got the team past the group stage in almost every tournament they went to. I'm not saying termi is perfect as you pointed out his flaws and mistakes with the team such as not scouting a full flesged igl. All I'm saying is that you blame him for too much that went wrong with the team. If DRX performs this year with almost a completely new team from the OG roster, then some of that success should be attributed to termi as well as the players. If not, then I will admit that it was only the players that made DRX good.
My question to you is; DRX first stuck with the same roster for 3 years before switching things up, and people were mad that the team wasn't showing results. Now, termi has tried changing things up and people are still upset that the team isn't winning anything. What do you think termi should have done with the roster? Should he have stayed with the original 5 for longer? Should he have made changes to the roster at the end of 2024 or was that a mistake too?

roster is good if mako wasnt the one calling tbf, he can get credit for that

but when mako inevitably suffers performance wise, and the team looks terrible mid-rounding you're gonna defend the coach who made those calls

talent-wise the roster is good tho

Ok yeah when mako starts slipping in his performance next year, it would be termi's mistake for not signing an igl. But a team with all rookies apart from the igl performing well can only mean that the coach is good at preparing and training the players. The role of a coach is more than just scouting players and building a roster and there are some areas where termi is very very good as a coach.

Yep and geng was a phenomenal team. No one is denying that. Or I hope no one is because that's just wrong.

2 sentinel, 1 smoker, 1 duelist. 5th player gotta be an initiator. I’d say sign Yoman, he’s initiator player and free Mako from IGL.

I heard that they are promoting another player from their academy team called leviathan. However I would love to see DRX yoman if it's possible.
