yeah, but the top 3 are so working and improving in the off season, it’s not like they are gonna stay at the same level

Well, DRX got better

As for Gen G. replacing meteor is difficult, but replacing the combo of meteor and Lakia is very possible.

SPG look better

PRX as well, ppl can downplay PRX all they want. But the only teams PRX lost to at global tournaments all year are

EDG(World champs)
SEN(madrid winner’s)
G2(direct counter)(also a very good team)
100T(americas #1 at the time)
Gen G(probably team of the year)

didn’t age that badly

T1 not top 3 Pacific imo

Need more time…

neon good on every map

I think, if you added jett to the current meta, it wouldn’t be as impactful as it was back then, however, It probably just as good because you can basically get a free op pick every round with instant dash

Masters 1(2022)
Masters 2(2022)
Champs(2022)
All three of these, had ppl praising DRX for being the most tactical team in val at the time because they were somehow able to do well without having a good chamber(BuZz)(everyone say thanks to termi for making them good)

He played well in lock/In so that’s fine

Let’s not talk about him having a 0.77 rating 200 acs as primary duelist in tokyo. I gave him the pass since foxy9 started out as duelist

Champs 2023 he was decent(although you will notice that he was incapable of having 2 good maps in a row)

champs 2024
Was mid against kru until 3rd map

It looks like he carried DRX past fnatic, while it’s true he was their best player, the stats don’t show everything especially since fnatic saved so much.

Absolute stinker vs Sen
Trace match doesnt even count
DISGUSTING performance vs TH

Yes, when he’s good, he’s one of the best, but he’s only good when the lights are dim

maybe, but he never peaks in important games

not neon

There is no reasoning, just a gut feeling
Also does not factor in Masters or Champs, only kickoff/stage 1 and 2

Duelist

1. Meiy
2. t3xture
3. HYUNMIN

Controller

1. Karon
2. MaKo
3. Jitboys

Initiator

1. Invy
2. Something(?)
3. xdll

Sentinel

1. Primmie
2. Meteor
3. freeing(?)

Flex

1. Flashback(?)
2. Forsaken
3. Munchkin (?)

IMO

1. DRX/Gen G
2. PRX/T1/SPG
3. SPG/RRQ/ZETA/Talon/TS/DFM(?)
   4.Boom/Global(?)

Way too early to have a definitive list, but this is how i think it will end up

they play way to differently for that to happen

fair

it’s seems everyone took this comment the wrong way

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

it’s the group stage

yeah

DFM Meiy gives his opinion of who he thinks is the best player in VCT Pacific

https://x.com/vsetups4056/status/1847240402035966316?s=46&t=UpfWlpoVx8lr8dEqUmQyxw

lmao udotan was clearly worse than freeing when they played, and flashback said hyunmin is better mechanicallly than him. And Leviathan was known as the best prospects player outside of flashback who was there for a couple months

Watch some of HYUNMIN’s matches if you can. It’s rare to see a young duelist be so disciplined and consistent on a round by round basis. Something that foxy9 wasn’t capable of

I can’t wait for October 26th bruh

exactly, like we are forgetting that Termi literally just picked up flashback out of nowhere. He didn’t even have real tier 2 experience outside of just playing with some friends in open quals.

nah just trust

trust me, replacing BuZz ain’t gone be that hard. BuZz is good, but there is absolutely nothing uniquely special about him that can’t be replicated in a similar system. HYUNMIN alr has the aim and the discipline(even more discipline than BuZz). One offseason alone and they will basically clone BuZz in terms of quality, with even more room for improvement.

so many are tragic stories tho

yeah

Freeing held his own, Kr1stal sat down all of freeings teammates

i’ve alr watched all his ascension matches, I was hoping for highlights of his matches from when he was on dk

https://youtu.be/rdWbxugVuWo?si=lynNrWvsW4zLqoRF

this is the only vid I see about him

Has anyone seen anything else?

bruh, he stopped calling timeouts for like a couple games in the regular season last year when DRX were stomping every team, why does everyone think it’s all the time

there’s also another player with the exact same name

personally, my hope was munchkin, but now that he’s off the table, i’d pick leviathan over anyone else. I wouldn’t be against them getting yoman but… i think leviathan is best option

usually most of these guys play ranked after scrims, prolly tired and not taking it seriously

new podcast episode

dude hates DRX and Termi so fucking much.

Cant wait for the TEN Invitational.

8 total teams not 16. And i’m not sure if it’s equal spread between the 2 regions

pull him BuZz’s champs playoff stats, let’s see how hard you think he really carried us. Also pull up his stage 2 playoff stats. Bren got you thinking he’s way better than what he actually his. In reality he had 3 very good series to mask a bunch of stinkers

Flashback and MaKo have all the aura.

This team just a bunch of cutie patooties

I think he mixed t1 and DRX

Is that just LeviATHAN

DRX kinda announced the 5th

DRX has freeing and most likely another rookie for next year. Those guys make be exited to watch them too

dw, we upgraded

oh, either way, good decision to let them explore options

Interesting how the 2 players that termi said were the “gold” players on the team are now restricted free agents. Almost as if termi isn’t the sole decision maker for the roster, yet he is the sole person everyone blames

where is this from

yeah, but there was a clear difference between the performance of Flashback, then BeYN and foxy9. If you look at it from the perspective of a DRX fans. DRX could have done way better if not for the consistent underperforming from those 2

some sort of beef going on between them?

Losing BuZz, while sad, is not that big of a deal, especially now that we have HYUNMIN.

they are now the 3rd best KR team

not for long, free1ng or flashback will take that spot next year
