Spike is down, 3v2 for XSET

KJ turret placed on Dice, Ayrin tucked under, Dephh playing back Gen, Zekken in Main.
XSET util:
Sova shockdart x 1
KJ turret x 1
KJ alarmbot x 1

ANGE1 and Shao playing Tree
Zekken darts and shocks Heaven - obviously the dart catches nothing.
ANGE1 changes angles across Door, then swings out. Turret catches ANGE1 transitioning angles briefly, then fires towards Heaven.
Dephh looks towards Heaven.
ANGE1 breaks turret, they know at least 1 person is Tree.
ANGE1 smokes Main, Shao throws Eye frontsite.
XSET should know at least Fade was Tree, Dephh is prepared to swing Gen.

BUG: Shao's Eye actually got caught in the map geometry and detected no one!

Dephh keeps holding Heaven, and AYRIN slow peeks out from Under.
AYRIN takes a fight with Shao, loses. Zekken is spamming through Main, and Dephh is still watching Heaven.
ANGE1 spams Main through smoke, catches Zekken.
Dephh is STILL looking at Heaven - at this point, it's clear the turret actually had an effect on the outcome of the round. Dephh was not preparing to swing off AYRIN's contact at all, instead focused on holding his drop.

Conclusion: I think the turret definitely affected the outcome of the round, but FPX also managed to win it even though their own util bugged out as well.

it will likely be round, but in the end they're playing for the map so

;)

I wonder when else a Sentinel's signature ability bug has been used to replay a map at the biggest international tournament of the year?

yes ofc....

ZETA
FNC
NIP

FPX
NTH
XIA

100T
FUR
FNC

meanwhile LOUD
seeded directly into playoffs
OpTic
KRU
GUILD

OpTic
ZETA
BOOM

these groups are pretty even in skill level, except DRX has had to work through groups every single tournament and made it out, whereas LOUD has only made it once, the only other time was them being seeded directly into playoffs.

DRX have also only ever lost to the eventual winners & 3rd place this entire year. OpTic/ZETA at Reykjavik and FPX/OpTic at Copenhagen. I would consider them more consistent, although obviously this tournament LOUD is the better team.

tweet said "OKAY NVM EVERYONE PANIC"

WAIT WHAT

OpTic
FPX
DRX
LOUD (I would put LOUD higher but they did get grouped once whereas DRX have finished 5th 6th min at every LAN

vlr always been hateful, but it's been getting better actually. you should have seen this site during copenhagen

what happened man u fell off

they won against fnatic in the rematch, also won vs fpx in the rematch since Copenhagen

they barely won vs fnatic tho like honestly I think drx's run ends here

fffffffffuck

DRX deserve their spot whether u like it or not

high hopes for AEC tbh

FPX wins easily

last I checked yay was white

down bad fr

lmao fair. i think i am on good terms with him but we dont see eye to eye on the skill level of our respective regions. i'm more of the "every region in Asia is pretty equally skilled" and he is of the opinion that APAC > EA (or just Korea, either way)

look at front page. i bumped for u.

how DO you explain EMEA superiority?

you guys are great too wdym, the talent is obviously there, and you have reached top 4 as well! dont forget we have also been very annoyed at our players and teams! its only human. but we celebrate the highs as much as we dread our lows.

Some SEA fans don't like DRX especially. I have seen some people talk shit about ZETA too. With PRX being the most enjoyable team to watch of 2022 along with reaching 2nd at Copenhagen, some of these SEA fans began to grow an unnecessary ego.

hard agree. The rest of the world looks down on Asia.
No success in any tac FPS (excluding 1.6)

In times like these we should all be happy for all our Asian representatives. Stop the stupid narrative that Asia sucks at Tac FPS, that Westerners are "DNA diff"

WE CAN BE GOOD IF WE WANT TO!

Tiger is Korean national animal!

The TIGER: DRX (DRagonX)
4th at Champions, last remaining representative of Asia, all other teams got grouped.

The LION: PRX (Paper ReX)
2nd at Copenhagen, 2-0ing all EMEA representatives and only lost one series the entire tournament, 2-3 in Grand Finals.

The DRAGON: ZETA DIVISION
3rd at Reykjavik, making an INSANE Lower Bracket Run, against all odds, and the highest Asian placement since Nuturn at Reykjavik one year before.

who cares? Asia has always had the narrative that we all suck at Tac FPS, all I want is for us to break that narrative.

The Tiger of Asia, DRX
The Lion of Asia, PRX
The Dragon of Asia, ZETA

The Three Kings of Asia all made us proud to be Asian this year.
3rd at Reykjavik
2nd at Copenhagen
4th at Champions

I'M PROUD TO BE ASIAN

솔직히 난 누구 만나도 drx 질 듯 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 희망이 없어

WE MAY NOT MAKE IT PAST TOP 4 BUT

DRX LAST HOPE OF ASIA WE GOT YOU BRO! REST OF ASIA MAY HAVE GOTTEN GROUPED BUT WE CAME THIS FAR THANKS TO ALL ASIAN FANS SUPPORT

WE LOVE YOU GUYS

LETS GO ASIAN PRIDE

ㄴㄴ 오히려 fpx 상대하면 이길 듯

first time I put on DRX flair tho

WE FUCKING DID IT BOYS HOLY SHIT TOP 4 SECURED

Realistically we lose next series tho LOL

Huuuuge props and GGs to Fnatic, I feel so bad for Alfajer...heart goes out to him and the team, they had a great run.

MANIFESTING LOUD X DRX GRAND FINALS JOIN ME MY BRAZILIAN FRIENDS

ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

님 한국인임???

sat down in top 4 B)

무야호~!

theyre already close to

okay but dont act like you wouldnt have done it too had it been fnatic

wtf

yay best player itw for 2022

same, until now

lmfao

What are the rules on necroing? I just got temp banned(?) for necroing an old thread.
It's a fair ban - I just want to know if this rule was mentioned anywhere because I don't think I should be made aware of the rule after I violated it instead of before.

best team won. convincingly.

LMAO

when fns is the one carrying something is going wrong

true.

8/8

true. Rb was surprisingly the only player on DRX this tourney that didn't have a sleeper game. Perhaps they should have played Fracture instead of Haven - but we all know LOUD's Fracture is quite good.

for what its worth, Rb was popping off with the op on breeze
