fair enough tbh. I dont see DRX being 'downgraded' in terms of talent. Like sure we have to see it in the main season in 2025 but I feel like most people shitting on DRX aren't even a fan to begin with.

I swear there are so many people here taking a shot at foxy9 acting like they even cared to watch DRX. After GENG and SPG's win there are way too many bandwagons here man.

GENG had an open trial and picked up foxy9 (if true). Surely they know better than vlr dwellers.

this is like your 2nd or 3rd post pulling up stats by ex-DRX players and saying they played badly. Just move on with your life man.

Athan (previously Leviathan) - Not an official call up yet, but joining the team for the off-season event.

suggest has not been the same since 2021 and even he said that he needs to start playing better or like he used to back in the days. I know the title was just a bait but come on man. You can watch him next year on Challengers Korea

im not 'offended', im just baffled by you choosing to talk all this without much info. Oh so its from other people like sliggy, chobra and co? Well you acted like it was YOUR own idea lmao. Plus when it comes to apac, more specifically kr, there are interviews and news they might miss on. William gets his info too but he doesn't really share leaks and stuff. Im not hating buddy, not every argument is a hate. foxy is well regarded and went through GENGs trial so if you think he can get better, why make this thread to begin with?

Are you good in your head? Im saying foxy9 is a good player and he (along with beyn) was unfortunate that they had to flex. You are literally arguing with yourself. foxy9 missing timing with stax was 2023 when he played duelist. You don't even know the point I'm making + KR in general. Classic bandwagon trying to fit in.

holy yap, focus on your own team/region buddy. you can't even make a proper argument and just goes "there must be a reason why drx let him go", "idt he will be that good on GENG" 🤓 🤓 🤓
its clear that you don't have a clear idea about this situation.
foxy9 with full time sentinel (or wtv role solo and hsk want) will help him be a lot better since he had to flex with DRX and their roster situations this year. Its hsk, you don't doubt hsk and his analysis.

didnt say that was foxy9's fault. It was no one's fault. Just another bandwagon who thinks they know shit about KR teams and the scene huh? Termi had to improvise since they had to make roster change which was out of their control. Hating termi to act like you know shit

2024 DRX was full of role swaps due to flashback needing to take a break. You really think the entire team could make any impact at all? Even termi said that they needed more time after stage 2 because they couldn't practise much.
Foxy9 swapped between multiple roles to fill in the gap, but even foxy9 hinted that he is most comfortable playing senti instead of viper/int.

foxy9 was constantly missing the timing with stax and rb's util and was way too inconsistent on duelist, so buzz goes back to duelist.
2024 season due to flashback taking a break for stage 1, foxy9 and beyn had to constantly switch roles to fill in the space.
please stfu if you are not clear of the whole situation LOL

because he is not available, doing ns rn. so you are technically correct, there arent many better senti player who is proven

he looked most comfortable in sentinel, stop yapping

because when we reply with our opinion saying that we don't think GE is good enough, you go ballistic and come up with reasons that we are wrong and keep repeating yourself. move on bro

at least make the international stage? AT LEAST??? You sound way too cocky rn no offence.

so you think they will get ahead of GENG/DRX/T1/PRX? There is hopium and there is delusion. This GE roster is nice and clean with it, I'm all up for it. But you are saying like making it to international stage is easy. If GE get into top 5, that is already a massive achievement.

If scrim mean much, G2 would have won Worlds 2 times already in league of legends

they are NOT making it to int stage. No hate, but just no. No.

well even if he wanted to, the teams might not be looking for an igl

i think NS is trying to rebuild with yoman, since they were pretty close against SPG in the grand final. Also Idt yoman had any intention of leaving for some reason.

why are people typing yoman as if he didn't just renewed his contract with NS. Its not a fantasy league where you can just bring in players guys jeez

foxy9 has shown pretty good moments this season, idk if we were watching the same foxy9. The only time he wasn't performing was when he had to switch roles due to flashback taking a break and coming back again in stage 2, the transition period he looked off but other than that, he was fine.

do you actually have an NRG jersey at home

I know its not everyone's favourite but I have specific taste in some skins like ruination

it wont happen, even in the alternate universe

pros do have a lot of time if they want to actually learn and they are getting paid to do that. A lot of pros locked in and learned sova for their team, even when they didn't touch the agent once in the past 3 years (stax). Its more like jinggg not wanting to learn any other agent. Non-info initiators are really tricky too with the timing of utils and types of utils they use (lakia's bind skye, stax's ascent kay/o, etc). Its just up to Jinggg now whether or not he wants to stop being raze 1 trick

kinda funny to see people shouting "This org needs to buy him!!! They are throwing!" when the player does not want to leave/they can't afford the buyout.

rb said he isnt planning on coming back to pacific for the 2025 season so many times already, let it go man.

its technically a call-up from the academy team just for this event, so he is still under DRX prospects/academy. Although I think he will be the 5th unless things change.

thats wai i said in the history of T1

he was always a really good player and his neon was also solid even before the buff

about damn time 😭😭😭

since franchising? this is the best roster in the history of T1 valorant.

and the fact that he could still frag the hell out whilst igling too. idk where this whole narrative started, mans 11/4 rn after 9 rounds

no one and stax isn't even bad rn, everyone is just soaked up in the stupid narrative and reactionary.

jeez these 'fans' can't even go a minute without making these threads for OFF-SEASON game where stax is currently 5/3/1 (after round 6)

that was 2 years ago, let it go man.

stax wanted to leave, buzz wanted to leave, k1ng left because buzz/rb took over his role, zest was let go because DRX wanted to go with foxy9 and have 5 men roster, rb was let go because DRX wanted to rebuild the roster. None of them were a scapegoat.

i feel like when izu was playing skye, he didn't have enough time nor felt comfortable. I feel like he is more confident and comfy. OR it could be that the team is communicating in Korean instead of English.

true, tho i feel like its just him feeling more comfy in KR comms

This is (to me) the best roster they had over the years. They had too many IGL switches, comp issues and all but this roster fixed everything + my jp brain XQQ is back? heck yeah. i feel like learning japanese just to watch laz's watch party.

coach's dream fr. Hes the kind of guy who would play kay/o if he is asked to (was a great flex for drx when foxy/rb was duelist)

buzz when he is feeling his shit is a DEMON. Idk about best in the world but top 5 surely.

yea which is probably one of the reasons why they always fall a little bit short when it matters. I don't like fr0st but sometimes I feel a bit bad for him cos its either them sudden not shooting back or overheating like there is no tmr

first few weeks it was ban/intro being swapped around. In T1 ban did not look comfortable playing smoke/flex and produced the biggest whiff vs NRG that costed the game BUT that 2023 T1 was so messy from team composition, roles, etc.
I'd say he looks far better now compared to 2023 T1

go tell him KING. IM NOT LETTING PEOPLE SLANDER MEIY

to be fair ban has his moments occasionally

that is my point, im tryna say that he isn't the problem and his eng seems to be getting better with time (still got a few months till 2025 + achillios said they got a tutor)

its impossible.i made a thread about it and got instantly dogged on with people saying I'm defending him cos he is Korean. poor estrella.

coming for final only, its really early in the UK now
