i might sound tone deaf but i feel like outside of korean streamers there's very little like explicit support for drx amongst english speaking streamers, i think fns was rooting for them once but even after that he preferred mibr to beat them today

Dunno.
Lowkey was wondering the same thing. After they beat MIBR ( the only one i wanted to win ) I started rooting for DRX cuz I hate all the other teams at paris and realized I haven't seen any social media or streamers from DRX like ever
You're not serious. They are literally the most loved kr team both domestically and internationally and it's not even close
I like DRX, I prefer them to NRG/PRX and Idc between them and FNC but DRX hate is valid because they are always such let downs
Most of their names are new to the international stage so most streamers don't know the players (outside Mako ofc). Next year, if they qualify they will be much more recognizable and they'll have more fans
They were popular in 2022/23 but then everyone lost hope in the serial chokers
They don't have the star oomph. Mako is a great player but no charisma. They're good and even might win good
I think it’s mainly because, compared to most other teams, they rarely speak English. That makes it harder for international fans to follow their story, since there aren’t many eng sub DRX clips. They still have some international fans tho, since they’re really good.
