DRX benches stax ahead of VCT Pacific Stage 2

What about termid? 😐

sadge.

What the actual fuck is drx thinking

I miss the old Drx

This is actually what i predicted and i got hated on and downvoted

I said
foxy9- duelist
MaKo- Controller
BeYn- Flex or Initiator
Buzz- Flex or Initiator
Flashback- Sentinel

1000% IQ move from GenG letting T1 go to shanghai and making DRX implode

drx literally stomped the split and lost to prx and geng who might be top 3 teams itw rn

management what the fuck!!!!!!!

surely nothing happen between Stax and Termi.

NOOO my glorious king stax

T1 stax, drop carpe

Lmfaooool I'm gonna kms

Saw this coming. Interesting to see who will be drx 5th and igl. Stax is still good for franchise on another team though. T1 need a change for sure either coaches or roster.

Bro I’m actually so confused what caused this

i have officially lost all interest in this team

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

so when is foxy9 getting benched? cuz there's no way he still on the roster

Ik it looks weird but they do need a change up, choke gen is too strong, changing the sentinel or something doesn't do it anymore

Only one that could save this team is DRX yoman

Midko when?

RIP

Yoo they might actually qual to an event this year i am no longer the no1 hater of drx (still mad cuz what they did to zest but ok)

WOW i wonder where he goes next. T1 would be sick

Any way to refund my drx capsule

easy T1 > DRX

💀💀💀

Not a fan of benching the IGL this late into the circuit.

As a unshakable fan of DRX (Former VS), when I saw RB left, I had thought that's be okay, cuz I can still expect stax.
Now, stax also leave, idk there's any reason can make expect and support this team😭

Goodbye, my hero
Still wait the "VAMOS" again😔

Should of kept rb or zest

WHOA WHOA THIS IS HUGE... ARE THEY GOING TO GET YOMAN OR SOMETHING?? this is exciting!

crazy how losing to T1 can ruin someone's legacy real quick
koreans are ruthless

stupid decision. if t1 didn’t matchfix this wouldn’t have happened.

DRX Yoman, T1 stax. I'd fucking cum

VS (only mako and buzz are left) is gone. rip.
tho new drx era is exciting.

DRX yoman surely

Huge DRX L

strange decision from DRX

damn

This is gonna sound crazy, but a great core 4 of korean players would be:

Zest
k1ng
Rb
stax

5th would have to be someone that plays controller, and has the right set of skills, experience, and authority to in-game lead a team. someone like glow, but glow retired :(. Not sure who would fill those shoes in. Almost reminds me of this one korean team that i was once a huge fan of.

Also, I wonder if there was a falling out between k1ng and DRX the org, but when Zest and Rb were released from the roster, i remember seeing k1ng tweeting something like 'good things will come' or something along those lines. i might be misremembering, but i got the sense that maybe there is a little resentment? Idk if k1ng chose to leave due to incompatibility issues with the new additions or if management decided to take him out of rotation, but if the latter, I personally would feel a certain way if i got benched after a small team slump due to huge meta changes, and not adapting quick enough, but still had the most undisputed dominant runs that Korean VALORANT will probably ever see.

I remember when they announced that three, no, FOUR new players were coming onto the team after glow announced his retirement, that it truly was the end of an era. They needed 1 new player to just complete the roster, but instead brought in buzz, mako, beyn (trainee), and then shortly after Lakia as well too, yeah, nothing about those announcements made me feel excited to see what the new org and squad would do.

I'm speculating here, so i could be completely full of shit since im literally just making wild assumptions so take what i say with a grain of salt, but if i had to guess, k1ng may have had a little resentment/chemistry issues with either management and/or new additions like buzz/mako. i have no idea though. All I know is that it never sat well with me when k1ng & Zest were benched, and would not be part of the starting lineup for the new org when they were both incredibly strong role players for Vision Strikers.

They were never the flashiest players, but they were consistent and reliable players both offensively and defensively, and Vision Strikers would not have had the same level of success without them. Vision Strikers literally was redefining the game on a macro level with their coordinated use of util and executions, and i think a lot of teams and regions that were sleeping on korea as a region started paying attention and started learning from them.

On a side note, the game has changed a lot since then since more agents/maps have been added, but I actually feel like the game has actually gotten more boring the more agents that have been added. There are just too many new and unavoidable ways of getting CC'd or impaired in some way making the game feel increasingly more stale and slow, and not even in the methodical way. its just slower out of necessity, and because you need to bait or wait out the enemy's util. Also, im just going to say it, but Ascent was pretty much the only good new map they made. Sunset is fine, definitely better than lotus and breeze, but I think I'm only drawn to Sunset because the B bombsite has almost the exact layout as Split's B bombsite.

Sorry for the yapping, but

TL;DR: Make Vision Strikers great again.

similar benkai issue 100%

End or an era

t0rmi is the real fraud here, not the players. o7 stax, my personal favorited DRX player
