exactly,

last year.
TH lost to Fokus and UCAM
Gen G almost lost to true rippers
EDG lost to c9, TL, and T1

Fnatic beat DRX 26-7
and then proceeded to drop 2 maps to cloud 9

Nothing really matters

plz, actually read my comment b4 replying, it actually helps to avoid a lot of unnecessary replies

i swear i don’t even think termi attended this event

not saying this as a joke, i deadass did not see him once and it’s the AC’s name that pops up when they call timeouts

what part of “they just said fuck it and ran it down” did you not understand

You could easily tell the way the played at the start of the match differed heavily compared the the rest, they either got unlucky asf, or Talon just pulled out a bullshit one time use play.

it’s not fundamentals, both games started unlucky and snowballed, and then they just said fuck it and ran it down

nah, i like this one :(

This loss doesn’t even faze me

i wouldn’t allow that to happen

i’m not, i could care less about this loss, and is termi in there?? I swear I haven’t seen him yet

nah, I like freeing

nah, I like Athan

pretty sure he has a love/hate relationship with DRX. More hate than love tho

i’m not trolling

and we get the golden road in 2026, and go down as the greatest team riot esports history

can’t show all our strats in offseason, loss was expected, we move on, we play next month, and we get destroyed at that tournament too.

Then everyone underrates DRX, and bc of that, we have the greatest year in valorant history.

edit: DRX players are laughing, pretty sure termi isn’t even at the tournament. I know an on-purpose throw when I see one

i’m just gonna sit quietly and not look at my phone for the next 30 minutes.

mans not even watching the match

APAC Xeppa, got it

HYUNMIN- duelist
MaKo- Controller
Flashback- Scan
freeing- Sentinel
Athan- Flash

dw we reverse sweep them

DRX run a sova or fade on every map, those are the agents flashback has been playing on most recently, so i think he’s just full initiator now

nah, basically according to leaks, they haven’t even been trialing anyone, it’s just been him playing with them. Maybe they wanted this this tournament to see his performance in an official match, just to be sure.

1 stand in, and athan is most likely if not pretty much 100% confirmed to become an official player

bro had a shorty too. I like the confidence from him tho

fair

BuZz is better rn? Based on what?

my mood for all of tomorrow solely depends on how DRX performs today

wouldn’t it be best to just do it now tho. It’s not like vct is starting soon anyways

I think, Flashback showed that he’s capable of playing other roles when they experimented with him a bit in stage 2.

Athan, performed like he wasn’t even a rookie, rarely if ever making a bad decision, reminds me of Karon in the way he doesn’t even look like a rookie despite being a player that hasn’t even player tier 2 val officially yet. Athan is also a duelist main, so i think they thought it would be too drastic of a change to go from duelist to scan.

Freeing has only ever played anchor roles , and possibly just as if not an every better aimer that flashback

Flashback just needs more time on the role imo. Also, we have only ever seen him on two maps so far, so a judgement this early wouldn’t be accurate. I’d say you can actually make a solid judgement when DRX plays in the asian invitational in late november

Nobody, pay any attention to this guy, for some reason he dislikes HYUNMIN, an 18 year old rookie mind you

So basically, from what i’ve heard, DRX did offer BuZz a massive contract however, the case wasn’t money with BuZz, he just wanted to try something new.

fr, it’s not fair that we have demon1 and they get someone like bin

Putting the him on initiator, just makes it so when the team is fully ready and when flashback learns the role better, there is no weak link on the team at all. Athan has been really good on the flex on all 3 matches. MaKo is MaKo, freeing started rough but looked very good against gen g. Flashback has yet to really pop off but i’ll never question his ability to do so. HYUNMIN played very well too

Oh i’ll take ur word for it since i don’t know much. 2025 is gonna be a good year

i personally think in terms of raw aim, flashback has better aim. But i still haven’t seen enough of freeing to truly make a judgement. But definitely agree with your 2nd point tho

true, but he’s alr insane and seems to be fitting in perfectly so i didn’t mention him as someone who “has to improve”. Might but overhyping but he alr looks like one of the best duelist

I think Flashback too, the more he learns scan. also looks good already which is nice to see

looks like they are just using this tournament to practice their uncomfortable maps. Good idea tbh

15 downvotes and had 0 replies for a whole hour. Bro, atp it’s not even bait, everyone just thinks ur an idiot

yeah ik that, i have full confidence, but i would love to see them win this tournament off the bat

Show me something against Gen G

ik its still early but i need a months worth of copium from this next match.

Also seems like termi isn’t attending this event, so can’t really give ur best but still

Great player, offseason just started, looks good individually.

My concern is freeing and flashback. So far freeing hasn’t really had an impact flashback has had on senti.

Hopefully that changes, if not, i’d rather freeing on initiator.
But, i’m fine as long as i can see consistent improvement from flashback on that role. I’m sure freeing has nerves, he may be older than MaKo but he’s still a rookie nonetheless.

According to Flashbacks tracker, he only recently started playing scan a lot, so i’m not expecting much yet

nah

Pretty sure he only recently started playing it. So he’s just new at the role

he’s also supposedly the best the DRX academy has to offer. Other than maybe flashback

this post would make sense if they were playing vct and not in their first match of the offseason

? i feel like you have to be dumb to think we dropped BuZz

18 year old rookie in his first match, let him adjust first

his performance wasn’t slow, it’s not like he was even mid or bad, he was pretty good, which is above expected for a player playing his first vct matches.

yes, Leviathan notoriously their best academy player but he mostly plays duelist

Flashback didn’t underperform, he did well,
