I've been a vocal proponent against people who drop rejoining the tournament for a reason, but this year the bench has helped alleviate most of the problems that come about from these situations.

In the case of Marox, the team's misfortune is ultimately the fault of the headliner, who while noble to give Marox the benefit of the doubt paid the price of belief and loyalty with empty hands. It's sad and I feel bad for Berry-anon for trying to be decent to one person but the situation is an example of why headliners need to be diligent and attentive to their teams (and why headliner voting and direction is important in general).

Marox did put effort but unfortunately has a trend to drop at R2, he is not made for this longform demanding tournament and honestly needed serious help that nobody here is qualified to give. I'm personally hoping that although he's completely radio silent that he is getting mental help that he very desperately needs because his situation to me looked incredibly dire and I would hate to think something terrible happened to him to cause this sudden and extensive silence.

Hemma's anxiety can be terrible for him but he really sticks it out like a trooper, despite things happening that I think would have unstuck someone more timid-hearted. He does quite a lot actually! A lot more than some other people I can name.
