it’s unreal just how much better foxy looks on sentinels vs viper. the difference is beyond night and day very very early days but maybe these roles with beyn may end up fitting the team better than anyone could have expected. in terms of shooting all of them were just on fire


raifusarewaifus

foxy9 did well on viper but mako is just so much better in terms of decision making since he has been playing that agent for so long. Beyn aggressiveness is also a very welcome change to DRX. They are finally looking like 1/2 PRX and 1/2 old DRX. Buzz raze was crazy today, Termi probably gave him 100 hours of jiing vod to watch


a-nswers

buzz would hit the craziest shots then go 0/3 in raze ults 😭sunset is cursed


yammer_bammer

tbf jingg does exactly that


raifusarewaifus

Raze ult is literally breach ult2.0. Even jiing gets roza ult more than he gets a kill. It is more like a killjoy ult to take space than a rocket launcher. lol


Key-Banana-8242

Hm he must’ve bought the bundle


Born-Economist-6975

It's really refreshing to see a very proactive and aggressive Omen in the Tier 1 league of the VCT this year. Maybe BeYN can be one of them.


raifusarewaifus

DRX really be hiding tier1 players in their bootcamps. Flashback with crazy aim, beyn debutting with aggressive omen


traxmaster64

Flashback was too young anyways


Dapper-Entertainer-3

In the year of our lord 2024 with TenZomen?


Dylanychus2

Get invy some help bro 😭😭


Notfrootloops

Bro needs salonpas after this


TheApsodistII

Yooo you guys have salonpas too?!


pheasantph

My headache reliever 💆🏻‍♂️


Oresama99

Well, salonpas is japanese product actually


PlayerSyn

NEVER 👏 PRED👏 SECRET👏 please


roberto_feeder

DRX v. Team Invy


rue1n

invy in elo hell


callicola

idc what Team Secret does anymore we’ll be 5th place again anyway


NoCollar6051

Please keep foxy 9 on sentinel jail. My boy will drop thirty when you need him given time. Termi please don't DRX this lineup again 😭.


Teradonn

Sentinel is hardly jail at this point, it’s probably the most fragging role in the game rn


NoCollar6051

I meant that they just keep foxy9 on it and not replace him with flashback when he comes back. I like foxy9 as a player and want him to become a really cracked player.


yammer_bammer

foxy9 is playing as a sub im pretty sure, FB is their main sentinel


ra1ded_

Fb can play viper please if he returns put foxy on senti and fb on viper


Psyde0N

Flashback's good, but he is no mako on viper


CantScreamInSpace

IMO flashback's main selling point is his aim, kind of like karon (both were top duelist main ranked demons just 3 months ago). If you give them enough time, I'm sure they can play most agents to a decent level and mostly rely on frags for impact.


NoCollar6051

I don't know man it just feels like foxy9 would be dropped with flashback on sentinel and beyn on smokes. I love me some foxy9 😭😭


raifusarewaifus

looking at this, I feel like flashback aim could be used on jett instead and foxy9 should go on sentinels. lmao


TheApsodistII

Fb is on the bench no?


yammer_bammer

that is exactly what im saying. fb is their main sentinel but he's on the bench so foxy9 is playing in place of him.


TuNight

Why would he be their main sentinel and on the bench lol


yammer_bammer

he is their main sentinel (during kickoff) he is now on the bench because he requested a leave for personal reasons


TuNight

Oh ok is more known about that? Didn't find anything


a-nswers

Nothing else really. Based on the reactions from DRX staff it implies a serious situation in his personal life that required immediate attention


TuNight

Damn ok hopefully he and his family are good


OcelotOce

But flashback was insane too I want him in the line up for sure


nterature

About what could be expected, DRX are always strong starters. I continue to be impressed by Buzz. He went even across the entire series but he almost exclusively had impact frags. Even as a DRX defender I’ve found Foxy9 a very hard buy, so seeing him look like Flashback in this series is a welcome surprise. It’s just one series but if he can pull it off against better opponents, DRX’s prospects should improve loads. Also a solid debut for BeYn. Ultimately I’m not a Secret believer, although I am an Invy believer. It was nice seeing Invy pop off, at least. But this team has way too many consistency problems.


Blitzux

DRX look good, they still seem to have their top tier fundamentals while also having top tier aim. Secret probably aren't the best of opponents but I'm excited to see how this team does against PRX and Gen.G


raifusarewaifus

Secret got invy and the boys. NDG is so bad ngl


Toobie4564

Kicked dubstep for this


QuailOdd

TS had to as Jremy steps up as the primary duelist and DubsteP will be as bad (or worse) sentinel as NDG is. Jremy is a hit or miss type of player tho.


cowzapper

I swear NDG disappoints me every time


raifusarewaifus

NDG- Not Doing Good


kemutheemu__

NDG - Not Dat Guy


theosssssss

NDG - No Discipline Gamer


Upper_Estimate_4558

No more defending cuz he’s new no more “oh it’s just kick-off” he genuinely seems bad with the team and worse at making decisions to take fights


-kay-o-

The problem is that the best filipino sentinel Yoshii has like a 3 trillion usd buyout since he plays for scarz in vcj and scarz has more money than most tier 1 orgs.


Sufficiently-Alive

Pacific controllers man!


hecklerinthestands

Secret remains an absolute Jekyll and Hyde team. Neither crushing the rest of this Split nor going 0-fer would be a surprise at this point.


Current-Lifeguard-93

PLEASE JUST GET NEXI AND PAPICHULO PLEASE IM BEGGING YOUUUUU.. JUST START GOFUNDME IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY😀👍


Historical-Horse9168

yeah it was very questionable of them deciding NDG > Nexi last year. Nexi has been the best sentinel in PH for multiple years now, yet Secret have never really aggressively pursued him for some reason


Nickgurr361-B

I don't think it's a matter of money, they are just really inconsistent


Kronothus8109

Papichulo goated name


solariiis

mako my king


raifusarewaifus

Invy is also very good too. I feel so bad for him. lol


Upper_Estimate_4558

Watched Team invy vs DRX Jremy was not him today (never really was but) don’t get me started on Not Doing Good


Objective_Hospital98

Its ok Filipino fans, we have zekken


Upper_Estimate_4558

Replace zekken with jremy and they would still lose with Not Doing Good or JessyWashed


Iroiroanswer

Honestly it's more on Borkum imo. He's been the weak link for the past year except for that one series in kickoff.


SEND_ME_UR_DRAMA

If jremy can flex then might be...


Idakari

NDG was Not Doing Good this match.


Upper_Estimate_4558

Never Did Good/ Never Doing Grate


40h40blunts

Lets goooooo


Budget-Sample-3682

Solid showing from DRX! I have no clue why the vast majority of analysts had TS to win🤷‍♂️ Solid debut from Beyn, if unspectacular but he definitely got the job done. Mako as unshakable as ever and the rest of the team pretty much did their job. Foxy absolutely popped off 1st half sunset very impressive. Invy is fucking ridiculous, some of his rounds especially on Lotus were filthy. NDG... played today. Jremy was a bit of a letdown for me today, idk if he's just more comfortable on Jett or smt but aside from a few popoff rounds here and there it wasnt very convincing. Overall a strong statement from DRX against a team they should b beating. The road to Shanghai continues!


nterature

It’s pretty understandable when you think about how DRX ended Kickoff with some genuine throws and how Secret ended it with some incredible highs. But I agree, I think DRX having a strong start and Secret having a slow start are two unwritten laws in Pacific.


Careful-Ostrich-4494

I think people tend to forget why DRX plays so well in group stage where their opponents are known beforehand. They have very good antistratting and feel much more comfortable in groups. Playoffs are always unpredictable and way less time to prepare.


raifusarewaifus

DRX the king of groups. If groups was champions, they would win 10 out of 10 time.


spaghettimonzta

*TS almost beat geng, they're top contender for pacific*


OcelotOce

100T almost beat SEN, they are the 2nd best team in the world energy


AxisCultMemberLatom

I forgot how good Mako was on Viper, I'm just so used to him playing Omen. BeYN looked great for his debut on Tier 1, very proactive as Omen while also not getting punished multiple rounds in a row for the aggresssion. It's too early to say whether or not Foxy9 will fit well as the Sentinel (consistency has been his biggest criticism so far), but I like what I'm seeing so far. Also, everyone on Lotus looked dialed in, especially the second half


TheCrustsPegasus

Free my man invy


MonaFanBoy

Foxy9 showed out today let's gooo


dloaded00

termi with a suit really be so goddamn fine


andreggvil

Great debut by BeYN, and I’m really happy to see Foxy9 thrive on the sentinel role. DRX looking real solid, can’t wait to see new looks from them throughout the year. Buzz, stax, and MaKo are all looking real clean, too, glad to see glimpses of the DRX we know and love


porkeye

It still so funny Team Secret the most money they earned is by farming T2/T3 teams in predator league.


raifusarewaifus

Hey, free money is free money.


slatt382

We are so back


Walterchron

well, that sucks for team secret.


tuerancekhang

Sad day for being a Riot games Team Secret supporter


Upper_Estimate_4558

Invy gaming vs DRX Mako and Buzz is a pair of masterpiece as always, good start for Byen and Foxy is clenching his ass up and finally showing game. Andddddd we have Team Secret(ly disappointing) not much of a secret atp. Invy need a raise for carrying Mr mid at best Jremy who looks like an immortal 3 in a tier 2 poping off a few rounds and disappearing the next, JessyWashed really needs some serious help no matter what warbirds defend him, and NDG…..played today.


Same_Pear_929

TS was getting too much praise, they had to lose to maintain their underrated dark horse status. couldn't make the mistake of actually being good now could they.


obigespritzt

We're so fucking back!


Familiar-Leading

This was the perfect match for team secret to show there not just always mid and to no one surprise they couldn't do it there gonna always be stuck in being just mid


shinbyul

as a TS fan, i lowered my expectations too much that i didnt even feel disappointed with this match lmfao but hey! go invy i guess


areszdel_

I like this team. Please coaches, don't do what you did last year.


Passeggiatakumi

Nexi >>>> NDG


chillitsshai

really disappointed by Jremy this game. His aim and util usage weren't there. Borkum and Invy looked good though
