it almost feels like a zero-sum game.
you fix 1 hole, and there's another leak somewhere else.
Forsaken gets a more comfortable role = d4v4i needs to cover up the role issues.
Jingg goes perma raze = comp issues.
Use more orthodox comp = still has macro issues and dry peeking.

I do feel like PRX can turn things around, but they need to stop relying on forsaken dropping 25 every map.

all g. people dont rlly use it as a slang anymore

INSANE 4K

oh it just means im in full agreement in a slang

preach.

korean flag + dplus kia (damwon) flair giving me insane flashback of KoreanOverload. holy smokes.

he used to play full time duelist so it could take a bit of time for him to not get caught up using util

like people don't see the difference in foxy9 and suggest's positioning and timing. foxy is a good player but suggest just fits in better than foxy in this system.

ive got good hopes for ash too

its their 2nd game after roster change. calm down

i wouldnt have foxy9 9/10 over suggest when i think back on his positioning on C site Haven, that he only got out thanks to his aim. Other than that though, his overall timing and positioning, especially in lotus was painful

that vid was lovely

ash for yoman was probably due to ash being young and having room for improvement, since yoman is 30.

suggest and his lurk timing suits so much better for GENG than foxy9. suggest just has better idea of "sentinel" positioning.

I would genuinely watch Davai fishing if he ever uploads them as content. Or maybe he already does, and I am missing out.

braindead bandwagon much?

sort of. but autumn has carpe who cooks up the macro stuff alongside him/.

doubt its him forcing wtv he wants to play. autumn likes to cook up some of the most unorthodox comps. sometimes it works, sometimes players bail him out with aim, sometimes its a miss.

plus they faced DRX with insane comp changes. Who would have thought they would put fb on neon and yoru.

people be hating on PRX a lil too much if im being honest.

i wouldn't overlook SEA though. Even ZETA is finally utilising their players well now, much better than kick off.

oh for international slots. yea it could be. But at the same time, TLN and RRQ (im not that confident with crazyguy) always gets around the qualification spot.
GE looked pretty good too though.
PRX is always dangerous.
Idk, i hope there is a serious challenge for international slots.
I know the teams are capable of doing that. Im looking forward to it. It'll be real close.

competition in apac is crazy though. idk what kind of shet you are smoking.

NS has Xross for next year in case Persia has to go to NS or anyone leaves.

its hot asf

but aren't they just saying that because it's 3 asian teams? they didn't say it was "pacific take over" but "asian take over". I always thought it was coming from a neutral point of view, instead of claiming the trophy. i doubt it was that deep to begin with.

OP crashing out in vlr

yea like if people say an asian team winning it 3 times in a row, i dont think they are claiming anything.

got some cute koalas though. i think that makes up for it. on a real note, i'd suggest going to some museum or gallery. might be boring for some but i absolutely love them.

people say "go touch grass", is grass even real?

FearX: Cloy, Banger

T1A: Everyone

Dplus: Felix (covers almost all Initiators), Bangnan redemption arc

SLT: zexy, shu (could be great in a few years)

DRXa: Zynx and maybe yong with omen

SHERPA: wolverine and kanade (he was already solid player since his Dplus days tbh)

Idk who will get picked or if DRX/GENG are going to change their roster but the mentioned players are the ones i would pick. there are more in FearX tho.

T1's aggressiveness is nothing like PRX's aggressiveness.
T1 has good control of themselves AND has a bigger picture to play along with stax's igling meanwhile PRX showed the least self-control with no igl to have distinct idea on where to hit during attack or what to do in def side when opponents dont play by PRX's tempo.

T1 also does not force raze and jett on every map, instead switches around with iso, yoru, raze, jett, and neon.

lakia still has the same injury from before and only started to see major improvements. so much for "knowing the scene"

who even said that termi is singlehandedly responsible? all the players ive mentioned were in DRX or still in DRX. Its just true that buzz/mako/rb/stax all benefitted from termi.

notice how i said "main roster"? obv Anaks played a good part in their early stages but when they were called up, it is up to termi, glow, and argency (funny you only mention glow).

im not even going to bother replying anyway because you can't comprehend the truth and seriously lacks emotional capacity to argue with people who actually knows the scene.

bye bye emo kid. also, this is like your 5th post about termi in the last few months. weird ass child.

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.

never seen anyone having this much hatred against a coach that doesn't even coach his team like what. serious mental retardation by gamergirl and he somehow tops his previous delusion with new posts.

i mean he thinks he knows the scene better than actual Koreans who has been with the scene for almost 5 years now so... yea this guy is a maniac who can't take NO for an answer.

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

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.

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.

just had to meet fns's optic. close series though.

mate you didn't watch Korea from 2021-2022 nor pacific from 2023 onwards to be spewing nonsense. its clear that you lack the knowledge. I would rather focus on your flair instead of trying to force this stupid agenda.

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.

wtv you say man, even when other pro players and coaches say otherwise, keep going gamergirl.

was fighting 1v9 here defending sylvan

hey gamergirl, you got absolutely cooked with this topic before, and its unwarranted + its braindead.

his time will come for sure.

Lakia left due to injuries giving him no place in DRX
stax and buzz left on their own terms, they just wanted a new challenge

idk what you are smoking.

i like how u ignored all my points on termi adapting to tejo but you are just a fucktard who hates people for no reason.

lowlife be like:

always believed in him. VINDICATION. CONGRATS SYLVAN.

flair check. you dont know pac scene/kr scene at all so just stfu. termi hate is not even a trend anymore, its 2025 man.
