(hsk too in a separate tweet)

This implies that they either didn't want to re-sign with the other 3 (and therefore they dropped them) or that negotiations failed and the other 3 are likely looking for other teams.
It's still possible any of the other 3 renegotiate and re-sign but with this info I think it's less likely

slightly unrelated, but do you know what the window is?
also why u gotta call some random guy a dickhead

I meant from when they became DRX, but yeah that counts too

only mako left standing from the og roster

I'm guessing this is more about haodong wanting to play than EDG dropping him?

rb was happy in china though wasn't he

The thing is they can demand a lot more now, I'm sure there are teams willing to pay big bucks for those guys, I still think its possible to retain 1 or 2 of them but 3 is gonna cost a lot of money, when it might just be more optimal to sign others

yeah a lot of people seem to be saying yoman, I wasn't familiar with him up until now but he looks promising. And tbh I think Freeing and FB are sidegrades at best, now to talk bad about them but to just say how good Meteor was

crazy

What about Zest? you can still get stax to flex, Buzz might work with a role change. But assuming you don't have stax IGLing it can only be 2 of those 3. As for acquiring stax they could just throw money at the problem, if t1 don't budge I think Zest is worth considering at the very least

poach SPG?
or even better, pick up the og DRX core?

From talking to people, what I'd like to see is:

+yoman
+Zest
and maybe retain someone if you can buy them

LAKIA MUNCHKIN AND METEOR all gone

METEOR TOO

wow

I record on 120fps 1440p lmao I have a spare ssd but I've only been playing for a monthish and its already 2/3 full.
its bc whenever I upload a clip to youtube it looks like shite no matter what I do (it's not the thing where you have to wait an hour or whatever)

My uni has those chairs and god damn it feels like you're sitting on clouds. But it is a big investment, 700 is nothing for some people and everything to others so I can't say exactly, but things to think about are: how much do I sit in a day?, is it possible to reduce that amount?, is there anything you can do about your posture now?, and if the answers to those line up with buying a new chair, I would go right ahead

Yeah I use nvidia too, it's kinda buggy and it does indeed use a lot of space

what recording software do you use

From what I know his ego isn't particularly big, but he certainly is a hype man when they're down and he'll say whatever is necessary (which maybe can be taken negatively by someone with a big ego). But honestly I don't think Less' ego will be an issue here, he is in new territory and needs to make connections

Now that Saadhak is gone and they are pretty much rebuilding from the ground up (besides pancada) where should we expect them?

In 2023 we expected them to be ok, but not amazing with 2 rookies, they far exceeded that and came 2nd at LOCK//IN and 3rd at Champs

This year they lost aspas and expectations were again, lower, and indeed they didn't perform too hot. But in their defence they did have good moments and things like being stuck in Ireland due to visa issues did screw them over.

Now the question is, where do we have them for 2025? Mid of the table? Top of the table? I really want them to do well, but honestly mibr and FUR from last year really left me with some concern

I fell off from last act, my only good stat is the most useless one (hs%)

well yeah... it's obviously edited to make the EU member states green, but that doesn't change the fact you still can't name the country

ok you keep on dodging the question so I'm just gonna go ahead and assume you don't know 🤷

you can say allat but I haven't seen you name the country

tell me what country this is

userbenchmark isn't really reliable, they're heavily biased towards intel. If you want to benchmark I'd suggest something like cinebench

I would try messing with HRTF to see if that helps, maybe when you are recording it catches mono audio which might be a reason for you hearing it on the recording

If I've ever learned anything about DRX in the last few years, it's: Let termi cook, even if it looks like he's dropping a nuclear bomb in the kitchen

I think there's a chance nAts IGL's (He was calling for the last few games in 2024)
replacing emil with doombros is gonna cause an awkward family dinner if that happens, but I'd be down since he's a good coach

I fw it, I can see them being at the level of upper table or playoffs (on paper)

nice, I was worried he wasn't getting a spot in t1 when I didn't hear about him. He deserves it

why do food delivery companies have goofy ahh names
we have 'deliveroo', y'all got 'grubhub'

bro does my name sound native british to you, how're you coming at me for diversity

whats your ign and rank I will keep an eye out

american players have better genetics

brother... They teach this in American history class surely

If I had to guess they'd be looking at a CGN player

yeah thats true too, I used medal but I couldnt stand all the extra stuff I didn't need. I guess its a pick your poison ahh situation

yeah icl shadowplay is lowk ass, new software can do shit like clip the whole round and tell you where the kills are, and all you have to do to share is press a button instead of having to upload it to youtube

bettervlr has that if you want, but yeah it would be nice if they added it themselves
