Korean Valorant's Only Hope | The Story of DRX

finally got around to finishing this video, sorry for there wait, i got busy with school n work there for a second and no pro play makes it hard to get excited for valorant right now. this is my first time making a long form piece of content like this, and although it's a little rough around the edges i'm happy with how it turned out and i learned a ton making this video. i'm very excited to make my next video even better, hope you all had a lovely christmas and a great new year! thanks for watching!
anywho it was LOVELY to finally get to make a video about my favorite valorant team DRX, who represent korea in the VCT (valorant champions tourn). i love players like drx buzz, stax, mako, rb, and zest! man they had some awesome comebacks against the likes of fpx, furia, and optic at events like champions istanbul! it's a shame about that whole 5th-6th curse thing am i right guys!

8:20 wow just realised vanity waved at DRX on their exit at champions 2021. it must have felt great eliminating C9 at brazil for DRX and getting their revenge

[@fourfather]

i think most people totally forgot that they were eliminated by the c9 core at champs honestly

[@Tikedup]

It all makes so much sense now when they waved at vanity in sao paolo

[@ExuCaliba]

@@Tikedup yes I thought it was because vanity waved at PRX! Didn’t think it would be even deeper lol

that drx furia recap was done masterfully! never thought i'd feel the same hype i felt watching it live in a video, but you've come as close to doing it as ever. amazingly consistent video, hope you grow much bigger.

[@GerardX]

Just finished the video and didn't even realize it was almost a 30 min video. That was great! Maybe you can do loud next or maybe loud vs optic rivalry.

[@fourfather]

thanks :D i'm planning on covering the entire history of brazilian valorant this summer, so loud will definitely be covered there

[@opsw2281]

For me they are the peoples champion. They got fans from NA and EMEA region cheering for them because they cant help it. A like-able bunch!! Great video btw!!

[@fourfather]

thank you, i hope so!

[@sugalee09]

The entire team is so great. With the addition of foxy9, theyre even stronger now, crazy to say. Every player have insane aim and reactions, plays intelligently with chemistry. Its always a pleasure to watch them play. Theyre the #1 team for me despite their lack of global trophy.

[@fourfather]

i love them but hate that APAC games start at 5am so i never get to watch them live :/

[@Dyleniz]

DRX coaches needs praise honestly 3 yrs being the top asian team and making a roster of 4 jett players + stax work by teaching the players how to learn and flex different roles.

@@Dyleniz it really is amazing. they must have a fantastic system in place, and props to the players for not just picking up new roles but looking world class on them too. rb especially.

ngl Foxy9 might be the last piece of the DRX puzzle. DRX had everything, they got the brain, they got the skill, they got the synergy, they got the clutch factor, the only thing DRX didn't have was a mechanically gifted star duelist player and operator and Foxy9 fits just that.

@@fourfather no it's that stax doesn't adapt well. He often doesn't know when to aggress in high pressure situations and when to stay passive. His performance is directly tied to whatever stakes are in the match. High stakes means hell do poor cause he thinks he can't make any mistakes and when they've pretty much lost he plays rlly well.
