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.

Come on you DRX. COYD.

Not after DRX hit the first 3/3 international event victories in a year!

Not choking Kickoff playoffs has me hopeful that there’s something that’s changed in the group’s mentality. Praying we can do it.

$200 per post is my average!

HenBabyH has been constantly cut from funding. Our insider trading group has determined that he maintains and unhealthy status on VLR. To maximize money, he should prioritize constructive posts. I am using that method to earn around $200 per post!

You automatically get an email from
VLR once you’ve hit the requirement!

I agree. Hopefully we can win a chip. Doritos, maybe?

We won‘t choke this one. I can feel it.

It‘s okay. Statistically, DRX were the only team in the opening match to have both the experience and opening match win percentage edge over their opponents.

10 International Events. 10 Opening Match Wins.

No team in history can beat DRX out the gates.

At the end of the day, this is what truly matters most to me. I‘m motivated by the amazing users on VLR!

They pay you to post. Basically everytime you post a lengthy thread it has potential for monetary gain. Each interaction, upfrags and comments, will impact the dollar amount. Of course, the mod team checks to see if you‘re abusing this or not.

Once you hit a net 1000 upfrags you can apply for monetization. Then the mod team checks out your account and determines whether or not you‘ve been constructive on the website!

Thank you, cameran. I don’t think we’ve interacted an awful lot but I hope to engage in positive rapport with you!

I finally got my VLR monetization! After years of hard work and dedication to this website I finally met the upfrag requirement.

I would like to thank all of those who have supported me on my journey and I will make sure to continue my contribution of making these forums more enjoyable in honor of you all.

This milestone has only made me more eager and excited about posting. I won't be going anywhere!

One can pray.

7th minute red card... Are you serious?

Negative ball knowledge if you still think Atlético Madrid play terrorist ball.

Statistically, EDG vs. TL is the most competitive opening matchup. Both teams have played the same number of international events (7) and have the same first match win probability (3/7 = 43%).

Bound to be a nice, long scrap before setting up the DRX vs. SEN game.

Both teams have X-Factors, for sure.

Stats are so deceiving. DRX are the only team in the event with both the experience and opening match win probability advantage over their opponents but DRX vs. SEN is for sure going to be one of, if not the tightest game.

Bound to be a nice, long scrap before setting up the DRX vs. SEN game.

Statistically, DRX are the only team to have both the experience and opening match win probability advantage over their first round opponents, SEN. On paper, however, we can assume G2 are the happiest team out of the draw.

Based on this, we can make the following observations:

• EDG vs. TL is statistically the most competitive opening match. Both teams have played 7 events with the same probability of winning their first game.
• DRX has both the most events played and highest opening match win percentage. SEN have their work cut out for them.
• VIT is more clinical in their opening matches but T1 has the edge in experience.
• G2 have the edge in experience but TE is more clinical in their opening matches.

TGRD.

Did we win?

"Ta*uuu1" finally talking some sense!

Fairs. I think both of us knew that this thread was unserious.

We share this site with the likes of HenBabyH. Cringe, ragebait, copium, clickbait, etc. is all in the name of the game.

I just don't understand why you have a problem with others referring to their teams as "us" or "we." It's not my fault DRX is a popular organization? Maybe I picked it up after watching football for over a decade but you're European, surely there are people around you who support large clubs and use the phrase "we."

Editing your second post as well. Embarrassing...

Why mention "and the Pacific Kickoff Champion" as if I started supporting them after the fact?

Also, if you're genuinely taking all of this this seriously you have some problems.

Changing your flair and editing your original post is honestly so pathetic and cowardly. I pity you. Please find shame. I also just said that I'm not trying to be different.

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

Of course it's a plastic SEN fan who doesn't understand anything about actually identifying with a team. In case you've never been around people who genuinely support teams, "we" is a commonly used phrase. Obviously DRX is a massive organization. Do you think I would shame other DRX fans for also saying "we?" I'm not trying to be different.

Nah. Most of the time it's ragebait and copium. I just happened to get lucky this time because I had no idea we signed the best Tejo player in the world.

I have a soft spot for G2 so I can't bring myself to do it. Prime TGRD with Sayaplayer was honestly a treat to watch.

Fuck it. Should I just change my Pick'em to have TE > G2? I already have the other 3 matches as Asia victories.

I hate you for saying those dirty little words and putting naughty thoughts into my head. You actually made it go everywhere.

It'll happen in the other direction this time. I don't have to watch BuZz Neon, thankfully.

I'm not a big fan of teams swapping players during the tournament, so I hope T1 have figured it out already.

Fair enough. That comment was definitely inviting criticism. I should‘ve mentioned the other large food related thread which is where I originally got my idea for this post.

I agree debate is crucial to society. However, as I‘ve said, it becomes harmful when you are unable to accept the opinions of others. How can we assume the worst just because someone elses opinion doesn‘t align with our own agenda? I do understand that this is VLR. Nothing is particularly professional or serious on here. But we have to ask how should we conduct ourselves in order to gain a sense of the constructive debate you propose?

I agree and hopefully you aren’t targeted for it. People need to realize others are entitled to their own opinions.

All this discourse about food is honestly strange. The reality is that everyone has different palates and preferences, so we should stop criticizing each other for certain opinions.

For example, the entire situation on VLR was seemingly sparked by someone who believes that Japanese food is overrated. I too hold the belief that Japanese is severely overrated, even with a vast experience of exotic meals, a tendency to never be picky, and a strong background in the cuisine. While at first the sentiments were based around the necessity for individuals to truly experience the cuisine before commenting on it, which I completely agree on, it gets to a certain point when the argument evolves into pure criticism. How can we be so sure of ourselves all of a sudden when someone has a conflicting viewpoint?

At the end of the day, we should allow each other to freely discuss without immediately accusing others of not being knowledgeable enough. Let's put a stop to all of this hatred, please.

0/8 Ragebait.

Currently, Abyss is the best map in the game.

Khanada getting nerfed with his mask getting removed 10 minutes before Grand Finals starts... Why are they doing this to my GOAT every season...?

Does anyone have any concrete ideas surrounding what happened to Sylvan? I'm assuming there were some internal disputes but otherwise I'm clueless. Even if they weren't satisfied with his performances there's no way you sub out a player after going undefeated, right?
