i blame not having a prx fns watchparty and tarik jinxing wearing their jersey (cope)

[@EuraSilva99]

Mostly tarik cuz they've been doing fine without FNS' watchparty before, but tarik wearing prx jersey is a first

[@zygbeee8563]

I blame bren for predicting g2.

[@Hailoow]

@@EuraSilva99 and he wore the edg jersey as well... there's a reason why sen won when he was at home and NOT wearing a sen jersey this man is a jinx

[@dioisabot4276]

I mean, FNS was a g2 co-streamer, so he'd be backing them.

[@Forrsch]

What you said in the opening is so true, the whole team looked like they were playing with no comms when usually they should be good for those plays

[@infinite1483]

the amount of 'hero' plays they tried to do was insane

[@joaobrito2653]

The comps they play do them no favors either. They play skill check comps that put them at a disadvantage, but usually their individual skill bails them out

[@Hakumai_o7]

After Prx coming out so hot in the first half of Map 1, it felt like they just couldnt stop throwing for individual plays, especially Something. Dear god

Guys chill, Paperex knows that they will choke grand finals if they qualify without a loss, so they lost just to have a lower bracket run where they will get used to the pressure and win the finals.

About that……

[@klipklapklop3359]

That bind b long push was also exactly the same against geng in APAC finals and it was shut down too

[@funkycrawler619]

I feel like PRX needs to like...hate to say it...experiment more. Still more creative than others but I think they haven't changed it up in a min and are becoming more standard for teams to play around (and yes I know the format doesn't allow for creativity but PRX is one to always risk it and make it work so I have faith)

[@AverageMelody]

yeah. the last time they changed things up was in the middle of madrid (forsaken raze especially) and it went as well as it could have

[@justjuniorjaw]

funnily enough, EDG experimenting caused their loss with TH. I do think PRX needs to prep more strat, and apply some level of experimentation so it's not just a monotone W gaming style they're used to

[@thecrazyemu05]

Yeah completely agree, in Pacific playoffs they pioneered some new ideas that other teams weren't prepared for (eg breach on lotus/sunset), here most of their strategies felt repeated from previous tournaments, and G2 totally expected a lot of their plays and executes.

[@funkycrawler619]

@@thecrazyemu05 The way everyone is like also hopeful they'd do like Deadlock or even Clove (both viable) and they have yet to touch them is like kind of sad but understandable lol

[@YesHelloKitty]

If they just played Viper Harbor they'd win. They had no Defensive Stall at all

[@aduvalorant9596]

im just scared that prx will return to their champion 22-lockin era.When they get predictable with their aggresion and get cooked so hard

[@mohammadarifulislam1081]

I could not believe they lost from 6-6 defense on lotus

[@johnyom2062]

Classic PRX playoff performance. They also get picked to win and don’t show up to expectations. It’s also crazy that 3/4 one seeds lost first round

[@Vimzo_]

Your channel is a blessing man, great video as always. You don't know how informative and different your content feels, even for the coaching niche. You have been motivating me to become a coach myself, which I know will be incredibly difficult. Last week I had my first client and I wanted to drop by and leave a comment to let you know how much you have helped on this journey! Keep up the great analysis content, really loved the LEV vs FUT breakdown as well :D

Same thought on that last round you showed us. I was like man, this is such an old play, they already did this against FPX in copenhagen and got destroyed

[@daxie__3210]

The teams always been a bit inconsistent, I mean they lost to TS pretty convincingly a few weeks ago, another team PRX would've easily won

[@Fluskar]

I personally think its because G2 read them like a book

[@noodlesrgood1119]

They are known to choke, so they used their choke card on their first game so they can’t anymore

[@theodorechiou2886]

comparing to FPX is literally what i did when my brother asked for the results, they never learn smh

[@iwsforced]

in my op i think prx is like old astralis(before the mental coach) they are very good but they lose to teams that they have beaten before or can beat but it's that mental block that doesn't allow them so i think the need a mental coach

I really hope they clean up their game and make a lower bracket run. I want them to win so bad ;-;

[@zulhamammar1120]

if you realize their game is not like usual, I mean the chaos they usually create is always well organized, but the match against g2 yesterday was very different, always overpeek, no coms, and no backup for each other, well hopefully they can bounce back in The next match is against EDG, and hopes to have another match against G2 as revenge

[@ClarenceWijaya]

People were saying PRX is good at Bind and Lotus but the reality is they are not. Breeze, Bind, Lotus, they are bad at those maps. They really need to change the way thay look at those maps, rethink on what was the key elements of winning those maps. They are just better at ascent, sunset, and their split is now looking much better. Even they are better at icebox

[@GoodnotGreat88]

Ive really enjoyed watching G2, they have had amazing teamwork and coordination lately. I have them as the 3rd best team in the tournament behind 100T and GenG.

[@fearz8245]

They are underrated fs I was surprised PRX picked them first, for me FUT is clearly the easiest pick they could have chosen

[@EmilyB42]

Watching this video next day, TMV says they need to change the comp for more stopping power but they changed the comp and leaned into the aggression with a Reyna. Absolutely classic

[@fuwa1022]

nvm 100t is ass

[@RandomMusingsOfLowMelanin]

The problem with PRX or for that matter any pacific team is mostly how they are treated after a loss. Today EDG crumbled because of almost this exact same reason. Imagine not being able to win rounds and you look behind (i think they dont have to look anymore) and see your coach all frustrated expecting you to win the game for him. And then what do you do ? You make hero plays in hope that I would be spared from disgust that we are gonna face from our own coach after we lose. You make hero plays to try and carry team on your back. It was a protocol diff, raze ulting 3 second later then all of them following into teleporter, bruhhhhhhh

[@RandomMusingsOfLowMelanin]

Btw this look behind comment was made by tarik

[@SP-dr7es]

[@enockbanda4009]

This always happens to PRX no surprises here. Lower bracket run, hoping no NA teams are dropped otherwise 😢. Also I need to see FNC play PRX just to see where Fanatic are on their recovery.

[@analizbar]

[@CheefChief]

they underestimated g2 and trolled until it was too late, they could have had split but then the bind was just too much momentum from g2

[@ScootTooner]

They didn’t “troll”. No one is trolling in this tournament they just got beat

[@solarx4166]

THIS ISNT AN UPSET? We already know G2 is good, its just nobody thought they would be on the level of PRX. (Even though they took a map off of 100T, who arguably looks better than PRX.)
