u right fam im biased as hell and im just tilted i didnt get geng vs t1 and in hindsight this thread is embarassing LMAO

not in current form, i think texture is better than buzz

and meteor > flashback imo simply because i think his carry potential is way better and on his good day i dont think anyone from drx can match him

id say foxy9 is better than lakia tho

and idk man, drxs stratbook looks pretty weak atm

but tbh i think geng can only beat drx if meteor and texture play like they have been doing, if they have average games i think they lose

tf you mean 'surely' like its a crime for me to not care about sea and jp

imo i believe that t1 gone full kr would be better, so if t1 loses ofc i will be pissed
and if you actually read what i wrote you would realise i actually agree that they look better. since they look better and prx does look weaker, i find it inexcusable for t1 to lose this one esp since t1 got so close to beating them last year

lets break down this drx superteam argument

2021: xeta was miles better than rb on initiator

2022: meteor was clear cut the best duelist in korea and drx probably wins masters 1 if he replaced rb. zest in 2022 before he showed his flex ability could be replaced by xeta and probably pre-wrist injury lakia

2023: probabaly the worst year for this 'superteam' arguement. youve got k1ng > rb on sentinel, saya was pretty damn equal with buzz, and xeta was better than stax both as an initiator and igl

if you think that drx was a superteam you just dont know the korean scene well enough.

and buddy, having saya munchkin and xeta as your core isnt 'building from scratch'. he is not a genius coach who improved this team to 3rd place. it was EXPECTED of that core. people just think they improved because t1 flopped at the start but anyone with a brain had them top 3/4 in 2023 preseason

isnt the only fact that americas doesnt have a tighter schedule is because they share the same arena with lcs

nah texture will show drx what they missed out on

honestly he is based and love his transparency. still dont believe in him tho

i mean autumn decided to pursue and english speaking roster which led to kings confidence loss

because i want my region to prosper and there are many korean players who dont have a job atm because autumn decided to pursue his vision of valorant (as stated by his interview) and if it turns out this roster flops in quite possibly one of their best situations, then ofc i will be pissed

looking back, the fact that drx got kinda pushed by weak teams like dfm and tln make me believe that drx are the weakest team in the top 4

if you somehow lose this i will think you are forever a fraud and be pissed you wasted a season of k1ngs career so you could flop with the roster led by your coaching

Honestly i dont think you are a great coach.

With the old t1 roster you guys almost beat prx (10-13 twice). But this time around you built a roster that specifically followed your vision right? Leaving players like king and munch behind for players that fit your system right? Theres no greater chance than right now, against a clearly weakened prx and with a team that fits your coaching style, to prove me wrong.

2023 pacific is the best oat

dw b*n wont pop off

no cuz aspas isnt washed on duelist like yay

Bro couldn't even last in tier 2 na he might be tier 3 LOL

That's what happens when delusional fans like you glaze someone who's been ass for the past year

Anyone who knows the korean scene wouldn't

He was a god until 2023 split 2 idk what happened to him

It's so sad cuz if prx beat geng, I don't think drx can make masters 😭

ASSUMING GENG WONT SMACK PRX

HS HS HS THE GOAT

no it means nothing, they had their moments last year as well nearly beating prx and taking a map off t1

mako hiding from camera LMAOOOOO

Nah I think 1 map they will be decent in

Drx 13-9

Drx 13-6

Another thread of this was made ages ago

Should have played lenne last year

GENG 26-0

Nothing wrong with that

Nah 2nd map he's def a big reason. Damn near had 0 impact with flashes

Yay not clearing dep sorry bro

2022 kr vs apac arguments flashbacks 💀

DOESNT MATTER CUZ TEXTURE AND METEOR CLEAR

yeah dsg were a failure BECAUSE YAY JOINED
they were doing alright and made the playoffs in s1

did you not see how he played on dsg

t1 vs bleed map 1 was way worse

geng is not weaker at all lmao

11/1 to 19/16 kekw

texture and saya

they are just copying drx strats

rrq aint nrg in terms of player quality lmao

vod reviewing a game when youve had months of practice doing so isnt going to help much

the fastest way to improve would be to antistrat the opponents, something t1 now has a disadvantage in

it also means bleed and t1 dont have time to create antistrats for them

no wtf it gives them less time to vod review since they play the day after now instead of 2 days after

noone says that buddy kekw

bleed beat loud in scrims and they posted that shit like they won champs LMAOOOOO

i mean they were getting whooped in scrims

before the jemkin announcement they were doing fine

fluke cuz carried by teammates setup

bro said support system when mako was singlehandedly carrying drx through the mud in internationals
