Downfrag this fraud...

Is he onto something or on something?

VLR cooking you once again!

Does their counter preparation not get a lot easier when they only expect a single composition across all 7 maps?

There's literally 3 upfrags and 2 downfrags... Remember when you posted that thread the other day about how to get upfrags on VLR?!

"el(L)*xxxmommy" is really trolling everywhere on this website nowadays...

Let me preface this by saying that I am proud of our 2025 performance so far. We exceeded a lot of expectations by just qualifying for Masters Bangkok, let alone coming as the undefeated
first seed. However, I think it needs to be said more: Our map vetoes and agent compositions are insanely questionable.

What I fail to understand is how did we manage to play 7 maps at the event but all 7 were different? Everybody recognizes that these rookies are fresh on the stage and will easily get nervous. Why are we making it that much harder for them by introducing this inconsistency? I understand that there is a tactical unpredictability in this strategy but it gets completely negated when we play essentially the same comp on every map. The Tejo on every map was a cool gimmick but only because we have the GOAT in free1ng. Why are we trying to do this for the entire roster? It's not like these are comfort picks. HYUNMIN was great on Yoru but take note of how it was only truly effective when MaKo was on Omen; we ended up losing every map when we tried a different controller. We know how good HYUNMIN is on Jett and Raze, so stop trying to chase the meta. How does our coaching squad not learn from our past? When we try to conform to the standards, such as during the prime Chamber era, we were getting outclassed. We only truly became formidable by going against the grain, selecting the agents we know best, and being the ones to shape the meta. Unfortunately, this one composition for all maps method breaks down and goes out the window when teams can easily prepare overnight. If we really prioritized a randomness, we wouldn't allow teams to easily anti-strat us in this way with minimal effort.

At the end of the day, I'm still confident in this roster. We clearly have one of the most mechanically gifted sides in the world and I believe we can pull off something more than memorable this year. Our gameplay revolving around set pieces still proves to be effective at times and if we can just implement a more comfortable macro plan, our potential is limitless.

Come on you DRX. COYD.

I don't care about your opinion either? Stop replying.

We really got ragebait VLR user "el(L)*xxxmommy" showing us how to farm upfrags in 2025...

In the past 60 days, t3xture has the highest first death per round stats from tier 1 play.

It's my worst map in terms of win rate this act. It's also DRX's worst map in terms of win rate at international events, excluding Sunset which we've only played twice.

This is diabolical...

Blame Split for being a terrible map. The GOAT sentinel will be back.

We currently have one of the best raw aim rosters in the world. Our play does revolve around set plays, though.

Surely you would rather see MaKo win one?

People always say BuZz is a choker but lowkey he has the minerals to do it. He spooked me with 101 kills against us in Pacific Grand Finals.

That's true but I'm not confident. We choke against T1, they have Sylvan back, and I'm not sure if the group stage merchant blessing is enough, especially if the 5th - 6th place curse resurfaces.

Redefined. Reinvented. Reimagined.

Say your prayers.

This is DRX 2025.

This is what I said before Kickoff, when everyone doubted us. Although I was ridiculed and bashed, we went on to win it.

We're just moments away now from Masters Bangkok 2025, playing as the underdogs. Let's prove everyone wrong again.

Come on you DRX. COYD.

This is what I said before SEN, when everyone doubted us. Although I was ridiculed and bashed, we went on to win it.

We're just moments away now from VIT, playing as the underdogs. Let's prove everyone wrong again.

I don't want to rehash old drama but basically there were allegations against Flashback right before Champions Seoul 2024 and PRX fangirls called for him to be removed with no proof. It was later determined that he is innocent.

Which prevails? DRX 5th - 6th Place or DRX Group Stage Merchants?

PRX are the SEN of Pacific. Huge fanbase but they give the team a poor reputation. Personally, I love the roster but can never support them because of the fans, especially after the Flashback situation.

I think every true DRX fan can agree!

Masters Copenhagen 2022, Champions Istanbul 2022, and LOCK//IN São Paulo 2023 were all fraudulent because a fried chicken shop was playing for XSET + EG. Therefore, all international events were flukes.

Probably both.

In my opinion, Bind and Haven are more toss ups since we aren't particularly spectacular on them compared to G2. Also, even though G2 are on good Abyss form, I would still back DRX as the best Abyss team in the world.

DRX are the best Abyss team in the world so I can't hate it. 100% win rate on Abyss in international events.

Well I have to pick 4 maps to be out. I don't hate them necessarily. I only despise Split and Pearl in the current rotation.

Maybe but I wouldn't be nearly as confident going into the match.

Even though I'll be downvoted, I want Split, Sunset, Pearl, and Bind out.

Give us anyone except G2 or T1 and I will be confident for a win.

I'm not sure. Maybe I just underrate the power of unpredictability but surely no team can pull out an entire antistrat on two maps in just one night?

Yeah the problem is just we aren't doing that whatsoever... I'm not sure what the solution is but maybe this is all just in hindsight.

Tejo on every map was a cool gimmick since we have the GOAT free1ng but the entire composition...? We're pushing it. We weren't exactly throwing VIT in a frenzy by switching out any agents. Unless you count Omen to Brimstone which really didn't throw them into a frenzy...

Difference between regional play in 2020 and international play though... Our win rate on Split in international events is 40%. Only Sunset is lower at 0% but we've played it just twice.

Exactly. We're not good on Split either. Both currently and historically.

I swear if we get drawn against G2 and we play Pearl + Fracture... Would still lose after EDG destroyed them on the map.

Am I the only one completely bamboozled by the recent vetoes? I swear we're trying to speed run playing all 7 maps this event. Is it just hindsight to say that the tactical surprise factor of banning Haven and Lotus against VIT don't outweigh the comfortability benefits we would see from already playing against SEN?

Well thankfully 5th - 6th is better than not qualifying. Where's LOUD?

We make VLR great again if we get rid of the influx of ragebaiters like "Anal*ouse."

Nice argument. I've been trying to say that Flashback has been quite poor recently and his prime is yet to come. However, you've now brought to my attention Less' terrible sentinel play and why he doesn't play that role anymore.

Less Past 90 Days: 186 ACS on Cypher.

Flashback Past 90 Days: 222 ACS on Cypher, 205 ACS on Killjoy.

Guess who I'm talking about when I say "his aim is ass."

The fact that the whiff you found was a round where Flashback gets 2, Less gets none, and DRX wins the round...

Levels to this.

I never talked about right now either? Obviously this post was made because of all the criticism he has gotten for the VIT game and his overall 2025 has been subpar compared to last year. I even said that his prime is yet to come. Use context clues, "dummy."

Also, "Less already fucked him in this match" is a terrible argument for why he is the better sentinel. He hasn't even played sentinel at Masters Bangkok, let alone against DRX.

Objectively, Flashback was miles clear of Less in 2024.

His raw aim is still as strong as ever but he often gets punished by trying to play in/off his utility.

It's okay... Just don't pick Split...

I swear there is no team in the world that has as many consistently frying players as DRX. Aim demons.

The eye against VIT...

He's been having a rough time so far for his standards but he will be back. It's time to show everyone why he is the best sentinel in the world. You thought his 2024 form was phenomenal? Get ready because prime Flashback is yet to come. Mark my words.

You have to beware more.

There's a possibility but let me just live in delusion.
