South Korean esports organization DRX made waves in the gaming community when they announced on May 27, 2024, that they were making a roster change at the end of their VCT 2024 season run. The organization revealed that they had decided to remove Gutaek “stax” Kim from the team’s starting roster after careful consideration. This news was shared on X (formerly Twitter) in a post that detailed the reasoning behind the difficult decision.

Stax, who has been a long-standing captain of the team, led DRX to a 3rd place finish at Valorant Champions 2022. He was a pivotal part of the Vision Strikers roster that achieved a historic 104-0 game win streak in 2021. Despite his contributions to the team’s success, DRX felt it was time for a change and decided to grant stax permission to seek new opportunities as a restricted free agent.

Yu “BuZz” Byung-chul and Kim “MaKo” Myeong-kwan are now the only remaining initial members of DRX, both of whom were part of Vision Strikers before the organization acquired them in 2022. The current Valorant roster for VCT Pacific Stage 2 includes BuZz, MaKo, Jung “Foxy9” Jae-sung, and Kang “BeYN” Ha-bin.

As DRX moves forward with this new roster, fans are eagerly awaiting news on who will replace stax on the active roster. The team has established themselves as a dominant force in the Pacific region during the VCT 2022 and 2023 seasons, qualifying for all international Valorant LAN events. However, they have faced challenges in the VCT 2024 season, failing to qualify for events like Masters Madrid and Masters Shanghai.

The team’s performance in VCT Pacific Stage 1 in 2024 was also below expectations, finishing in 4th place. With one last opportunity to qualify for Valorant Champions 2024, DRX must finish as one of the top three teams in VCT Pacific Stage 2. The upcoming stage kicks off on June 15, 2024, and runs until July 21, 2024.

Despite the recent roster change and challenges faced by the team, DRX remains determined to secure a spot in Valorant Champions 2024. Fans can follow the team’s journey through VCT Pacific Stage 2 to see how they fare against the competition. Stay tuned for updates on DRX’s performance and roster developments as they push towards their goal of competing at the highest level in Valorant esports.
