i think they have a bad defense but the best attack

i did a double take when i saw therapists

okay

atleast change ur flair

Brawk
Verno
NISMO
mitch
even paincakes
all are direct improvements imo.

Lev have such a high ceiling

there’s like 4 initiators in tier 2 with util as good as c0m’s but the difference is they actually know how to aim

is c0m even a good caller?

I feel like a direct replacement would be enough for the team to instantly improve

yessir

I think it’s pretty obvious they meant all time

Vini basically got it already

not really

Great

Yeah even sacy has a good argument. But just saying, pancada literally won MVP of Champs.

Yeah, but for Gen G at madrid specifically. I think Meteor was still their best. Then probably Karon or t3xture(you can argue munchkin as well)

Aspas Champs???

Both Less and Pancada were better at champs. You can make a solid argument for 3rd best on LOUD but no higher. I mean, even if you just looked at stats you can tell he wasn’t the best.

aspas was the 3rd best player on his own team in 2022 imo

aspas vs yay 2022 is an extremely forced debate

I think you should split 2023 into 2

the first half should be someone from FNC

Sen didn’t make Shanghai. Sen also only played PRX 2 times. They also never played against jinggg

we’ll be fine. It’s just a matter of time

maybe wait until match is over?

i think FUT > FNC. And NRG shouldn’t be here. EG either(atleast def not higher than G2)
100T should be higher

FPX maybe

DRX but that’s bias

Sen should be lower as well, def lower than PRX.

FUT is a good team… why is losing to FUT a bad thing?
They just had a bad match against 100T

He’s the type of guy to overreact to every game even tho valorant is heavily luck based at times

Unrelated but do you think DRX can be contenders of a major in 2025?

It has been 2957 hours and 50 minutes since MIBR has won a map in a competitive valorant match

What’s the point of this post. This type of PRX discourse ended 2 weeks ago

nuh uh

doesn’t matter, any good team is a contender for champs. People rarely ever to get the major winners prediction right.

they won’t ditch flashback, he’s might even be their best player from what i’ve seen so far, especially with MaKo igling now. They won’t pick up yoman so there is no point to speculate about that. DRX don’t take in non-DRX prospects players.

Also why are people so quick to make assumptions. Have ppl not learned that that valorant competitive is very unpredictable.

I can name so many examples that have happened this year alone.

Gen G becoming best team itw
Sen winning masters
Sen not qualifying for shanghai
During americas regular season, everyone came to a consensus that Lev was the best americas team, now nobody thinks that
G2 getting top 3 at shanghai
Team Heretics going from one of the worst to one of the best
PRX disappointing in shanghai
Fnatic not keeping up form from 2023
NAVI still mid with ardiis back
EDG no longer china’s best
T1 pretty much knocked out despite making shanghai
RRQ beat Gen G
T1 beat Gen G
and many more

Also, i hate to say this, but im sure you watched the t1 and team secret game. Stax was the odd man out, Even a slightly better performance from him would mean a win for t1. But not a single soul will mention it because they have some type of hatebone for DRX. People will play that off as just a bad and unlucky game for stax yet if DRX play bad, they will point out every single one of their problems even though it was clear from the very start that the team is experimenting.

No shit the team regressed, no team drops a player and instantly gets better unless that player you dropped was a sub. It takes time, but everyone is so quick to hate on them for actually trying to experiment instead of being complacent. They can’t ever win.

Then it’s gonna be the same argument as b4, “if DRX never dropped rb and zest, they would’ve been better” as if the old roster didn’t lose 0-2 to PRX with a streamer on their team.

I for one don’t think there are role issues, they are just trying new thing.

Proof: before the match, termi literally said they were trying new things.

BuZz can play duelist

MaKo controller

BeYn duelist smokes and initiator

Flashback Flex/senti

Foxy9 duelist /sentinel

There are no role issues per se.

Map 3 against PRX wasn’t really as bad as the score suggest bad. If you go back, PRX running into the stacks a lot, we just weren’t very coherent when fighting, which is mostly an igl issues and everyone agrees on that as well as the fact that with time it will improve. I even said right after the match(most ppl who saw agreed) that the map would looks a lot different if DRX started on attack, it wouldn’t have been as dominant but they could definitely have taken a solid 8-4 lead into half. Because the icebox attack is pretty drilled and set, which gives a lot of room for error from the igl. Maybe if they started out attack, the snowball effect wouldn’t take over where PRX were just piling on rounds

You watched a team play bad on their worst map and got ill🤯🤯🤯

Jesus christ i’ve seen masters team get destroyed worst than that on a map, and you have too, assuming you watched shanghai

ex. PRX vs G2 seemed a little better than it actually was just bc PRX managed to salvage something in the end.

Also, you should watch, I doubt they can give a challenge to any real team but, outside of sunset and breeze, they are solid

what’s wrong with global

yeah, last time a checked, when a team plays shit and way below the level ppl think they could play like and still manages ti keep a game close, it’s a good thing. It means the team at our worst can still give solid teams a close match. And please stop pretending like you watched the game. My guess is that you watched platchat and sideshow said sum crazy about DRX and you just ran with that instead of forming your own opinion. There’s a reason why nobody fully agreed with him when he went on that rant

lmfao, they lost 2 to maps to RRQ, a team that can beat very good teams

first place and we only lost to PRX and RRQ btw, you guys just wait until someone does a segment on platchat to form an opinion, actually think for yourselves for once

yep

never said that but okay

nah, ppl are way overreacting to this loss. losing 12-14, 12-14 to RRQ isn’t enough to warrant this. RRQ threw rounds but you can easily tell DRX were playing something they don’t usually do, and they struggled to adapt. They also completely threw map 1 away.

did you even watch, gen g did well, it’s just that meteor had a off day. and he didn’t even play that bad tbh. Everyone at that time was hyping RRQ up because they had a really good upside but we’re not consistent enough to get results. Seems you forgot

nearly a completely different team

yeah, all we can do is put our faith in them, trust and wait. Even so, i’m in this shit for the long run. They are the youngest team in val, potential is very much there for all the players.

nah, they’ll be fine, they are trying to find a new identity.
I firmly believe they have the players, they just need to find what they are best at and roll with it

two losses, against 2 good teams(RRQ good enough to beat Gen G on a really good day) while we are testing things out, MaKo is learning how to igl, he can learn fast dw.
BeYn technically playing new role. Flashback too. We will find our strength and then everyone will see how good this team really is.

#DRXWIN

idk what this means, this meta is actually pretty bad for them.

tbf, they dropped stax b4 gen g won, and stax didn’t want igl, as we all know

damn they lost2 matches to PRX and RRQ( same team that beat gen G). PRX match went to map 3 and RRQ matche went to ot both maps.

termi said they were experimenting b4 the match and ppl are acting as if it’s completely over for DRX

give new roster some time, they played 3 games

idk about foxy9 anymore but I wanted BuZz off duelist. When he plays well, DRX are so good, but his bad games makes it near impossible for DRX to win. A role like sentinel suits him way more because it gives him room for a bad map and still be important to the team.

I really don’t know about duelist.

Because the more I look back at things. from 2023 onwards. The duelist role has always been iffy. If they really wanted to try something new.

They should have tried BeYn on duelist. Foxy9 on Initiator(Initiator, imo is the role where you can literally bottom frag all the time but still be extremely valuable to the team)

Keep Flashback on a comfort role that he’s been playing on for years and start from there.

At the end of the day, i don’t really know what the fix is, i just hope they know, or I hope they were just experimenting and can lock in when they have to

Different games have different functions 🤯🤯🤯

I know BeYn is younger than them by 2 years. But i still think i should’ve been him that was igl. You just can’t make your best performing player an igl, tanking his ability to popoff tanks the teams overall ability as well, Plus, BeYn can do some flexing, and let flashback flex as well. I still think DRX haven’t shown everything and are just testing things out. I think there is gonna be a massive improvement from now up until playoffs in terms of overall team synergy and individual performance. I will never lose my trust in this team

they don’t take non-DRX prospects players
