deadass question, does anyone else in tier 1 valorant have 5 seasons to win a trophy and deliver absolutely nothing?
not even a finals appearance??
He had access to any korean he wanted until 2024, and since 2024 two korean teams have won.
Shameless, his fangirls are gonna be in here acting like he gave free1ng and hyunmin their first mouse and taught them how to aim. They'd be good regardless he didnt develop shit, DRX academy developed them
Promote the academy coach and be done with it
cope, 5 seasons no finals
his assistant coaches are probably doing more strat work than him
Autumn was able to improve stax's IGL to levels much better than termi did, thats actual good coaching
Also he aint scout shit, getting the best player in ascension isn't scouting, getting one of the highest rated players in JP t2 isnt ascension
anyone with eyes can be like wow theyre one of the best players in t2 lets trial them scouting my ass lmfao
didnt meteor call out autumn for lack of macro stuff during timeouts, and stax had to teach him about holding angles more efficiently? seems like you don't know whats going on in KR scene, or Pacific in general. Carpe became their strat coach from 2025 and autumn seems to be telling T1 players more about macro stuff during the timeouts too.
where were you when autumn was failing in 2023/2024 despite T1 bringing in new players for him.
it wasn't sudden i been here grinding brick by brick t0rmi either under cooks or overcooks at every international they go to and the players have to over perform constantly DRX had genuine chance at this trophy
but t0rmid decides to have a singular comp for 7/7 maps making there bad maps a free read and making there good maps predictable and arguably more anti able then before even with the pac tape
had the entire VS core labeled as chokers when under different conditions they go crazy foxy9 is still recovering from all the roster bs he pulled
half hate half truth comment aside he has had too many chances with too many good players to get ZERO results not mention his talent pool is KR the best itw so it is even worse tbh
I didn't get cooked, youre all emotional fangirls,
there is no logical justification to hold mako hostage to a trash coach
find another coach who has the budget, and pull of DRX for 5 season and wins nothing while autumn and solo with less budget, less pull win
as a mako fan, its frustrating having to watch mako igl because t0rmi is braindamaged
kinda funny how you straight up ignore
other pro players and coaches say otherwise
Autumn and Solo with less budget? T1 splashed so much cash even when Autumn was clueless for 2 years and T1 is literally the richest org in Korea, GENG also pays more than DRX and DRX is not known to have much money. Why do you think 2022 DRX Worlds winning team kept none of their players except beryl.
had lakia with his wrist injury, which led him to only scrim on certain maps. forcing DRX to play 6 men roster.
Lakia looked better in GENG than he ever was. you don't know shit about KR and it shows.
GENG's CFO (if im not mistaken) has openly said that they will be investing in GENG valorant more
DRX is not known to have much money
even outside the starting 5 DRX had a lot of the best KR players
you mean that 1 time in 2021.
idk why you are trying to be so smart about a scene that you obviously aren't familiar with.
bro geng lost meteor because of money
lakia did not look better on geng than he ever did that is pure delusion and you have not watched tier 2 in 2022 if you believe this, hell i dont think you actually watched kr back then
either way termi circle jerked with both k1ng and lakia, lakia ended up barely playing
they then got zest who is worse than both instead of just keeping a 5 man roster,
what does this sound like 2023, another termi classic fuckup swapping between buzz and foxy9 randomly like a child absolutely ruining any chance of winning anything
people act like glow isnt there and is just some kid, in most teams head coaches have to deal with mentality and roster decisions where assistants are more free to work on analytics and strategy. this is another generally accepted fact that you will try to dispute with an emotional bias towards him
again, youre clearly hurt, stop replying
GENG only lost because the competitor was T1 and meteor wanted T1.
Lakia with IGZ and Dplus Kia was not better than Lakia in GENG. He's my fav player and i watched through his entire run with IGZ and Dplus and nope, Shot wise, util wise, he was the best in GENG.
did you even read? Lakia had an injury and couldn't scrim in maps apart from bind/icebox. how is that even termi's fault when it was his only choice with injury.
Foxy9 was overheating, getting caught up with stax's util because he couldnt find the timing right. termi did mess up but it wasnt entirely his fault and buzz back to duelist and zest as int/viper looked way more stable.
zest came back from a break which was due to his injury, rb moved to senti and he could flex so k1ng went out on loan.
zest was better than lakia in 2022 and he even took up the igl role for a short while
in korea, most of the times people mention termi, glow, and argency (which you mentioned 0 times) all together when they talk about DRX's strats.
why would i be hurt when KR team won masters, buzz/stax won their deserving masters. if anyone's hurt, it would be you since M8 is prolly getting relegated and Americas lost the final.
I mean the truth is stax and buzz already admitted they feel more free and less pressured on T1 compared to their DRX days. But can we really call Termi a fraud for that? He already does everything else, he just needs his players to perform consistently, thats a 50/50 fault on the players and the coaches lol
has termi ever had a roster as good as this t1(beside the potential of this current roster)
Meteor is probably the best player pacific, BuZz has always been good, but he left DRX on his own. The DRX’ manager even spoke about it on the forum that they really tried their best to resign him but couldn’t compete. stax is a good igl, and played probably his best tournament here. iZu was the best player on T1 last year, the t1 who qualed to a masters. Like this team is way better than any previous iteration of DRX.
buzz = buzz
mako >>>>>>>> sylvan
rb<<izu (kinda)
zest<<<<<<<<meteor (not similar roles but the meta is diff now)
stax=stax
not to mention this roster had multiple seasons to mesh together and get it right. This is T1's first tournament
heres the difference between termi and autumn
THEY ALL CHOKED ON DRX,
STAX AND BUZZ TOP FRAGGED MAP 5 OF THE GF ON T1
WHO DO YOU BLAME IF YOUR ENTIRE TEAM IS CHOKING???? THE COACH
the fact that you think there is no plausability to anything I say just kinda proves your bias here, you're not a drx fan youre a termi fan. I like mako and would prefer he win than he lose with termi, but thats just me, youre free to your own opinion
even if you think termi is a good coach you have to understand after a certain point keeping him is just bad for both parties
ive openly said termi could very well win a major on a different team
hm idk imagine being VS fan since first strike all the way until now, only to have someone repping USA flag and M8 flair telling me im not a drx fan. you dont know the scene, all you do is watch a few drx games in int tournaments and ignore everything else.
you keep talking shit about termi but when told about facts by people who knows the scene (including me), you turn to "You're not drx fan! you are being emotional! bias!"
like 99% of comments that disagree with you are about how outrageous and factually wrong your points are. you dont know whats going on, but just spewing all that? thats the part people don't agree with you. idk how many times you chose to create a thread about this but move the fck on.
i watch the scene, you're wrong and you've been proven wrong by the events of previous tournaments
what you're telling me is purely subjective, you have literally no proof that glow is not the one who is strategically advancing most of DRX
i dont create these thread for termi fans, i think you need to stop replying since your feelings are hurt, t1 just won and i get it
I have done nothing but present actual facts while you're speaking as a fan with absolutely 0 knowledge on anything other than emotional think pieces
mfs wanna act like theyre correct, the only facts are 5 seasons 0 trophies, justify that with subjective opinions however you like
you have literally no proof that glow is not the one who is strategically advancing most of DRX
do you? I watch small interviews of DRX coaches and players and termi more often than not comes up with the tactics.
Why would i get hurt when T1 is winning, i genuinely feel happy for them.
You keep ignoring everyone else's arguement and try to ram your own opinions.
5 years and 0 trophy! is your only facts. which does not make termi a coach you are describing him as.
you saying Termi didnt develop shit - turned mako into one of the best smokes, turned buzz into top tier duelist, turned stax into IGL that he is now, made rb a great flex player in 2022 - 2023, flashback and beyn all improved with termi after signing with main roster. Freeing was full time SENTI since 2020 but he looked comfy on sova and mastered tejo, hyunmin's playstyle got more thorough with DRX compared to his CGZ days
No proof of autumn "improving" stax's calling. stax has meteor to help midrounding now.
since you think im being emotional, i'll say it again
"funny how other professional coaches of GENG, T1, and international team's coaches respect termi and acknowledges him as top coach but a vlr know it all begs to differ" <- you ignored this for like countless times now. opinions of actual professionals
you will not find professionals in tier 1 speaking bad about eachother
especially when termi was teammates with most of the coaches or coached most of KR t1 by now, but i dont think you've actually watched CS or know who these people are behind this game. It's very rare to see anything but glaze, justified or not in these interviews
also this is like complete delusion, apparently termi is singlehandedly responsible for all of korean talent, there is no natural progression of players lmfao
flashback and beyn have been on the academy, credit the academy coach? No. credit termi? yes!
delusion, emotional bias, and mental illness, seek help and stop replying
You are acting like T1 has no established synergy already. You have no ball knowledge.
Obv BuZz stax has synergy from DRX
BuZz Meteor have been long-time acquaintances
Sylvan iZu know each other as well
stax Sylvan know each other closely
and DRX has not been in a stable roster since 22/23. 2023 was the failed six man project, 2024 was messy with rb zest stax out fb beyn in plus fb having to step out for a bit, 2025 had BuZz foxy9 leave, hyunmin free1ng in
So what the fuck are you insinuating? At least try to ponder on what you're stating before you mention this absolute slippery dipfuckery you are spewing.
they wont listen because simply hating is easier. gamergirl mentioned about being factual but also said termi had more budget than T1 and GENG while refusing to argue when people bring up facts that actually have proof, or about how other professionals regard termi. I mean I got all that from reading the comments but haters including the OP is just using this to vent out their anger from the wack ass life I guess.
