Bren's gambling rant has to be in the yearly awards for Plat Chat's worst tangent yet The match of the week should be Prx vs T1 cause we get to see how T1, one of the teams that almost made it to Madrid fare against the paper rex core of 2023 that haven't warmed up with jingg yet

Could i suggest that you guys do a bit in the future where kurt makes predictions for eqch of you (by coin or whatever he feels like) and then when its revealed you have to say why you went for your pick and make it as believable as you can and only tell after the segment is over? Because i feel like that could be incredibly funny, similiar to when bren made a bracket with a coin without telling you and made everyone go completely mental

[@MuzMysyq]

hey when that was? i wanna watch it.

How is Jinggg not an upgrade? Jinggg’s raze is as good or even better than Zekken’s and we saw the impact Zekken had. It’s unfortunate for Monyet but to say Jinggg is not an upgrade is actually wild imo

[@jadedmari]

because its their 2023 roster. nothing really new or refreshing for them just the same old

its not really an upgrade since Monyet (at the last quarter of madrid) is starting to feel like he's playing at around the same level of jinggg, so whether it's Monyet or jinggg doesn't feel any different

So PRX won’t have firepower to contend with GenG and T1 but RRQ can? Come on man

[@xenakim7128]

Eh? bro I believe PRX got much more firepower than those 2 team. Something Forsaken and Jinggg? Nahh that too much. Davai and Mf those 2 have their own moments to clutch or being consistents.

[@Zagarth12]

So wild that Cryo ended up being such a terrible fit. He has no agent pool at all

[@IanStrain23328]

Hes a finished Chamber merchant just like Yay.

[@risesflame]

So with prx getting 3rd in madrid, plus jinggg buff, they think prx will lose to T1?

[@xenakim7128]

The issue here is that even though Jinggg has returned to PRX, he still needs time to adapt to tournament environments. Jinggg's last match was on December 10, 2023, on AfreecaTV, and on August 26, 2023, in the Valorant Champions 2023. Regarding that, many people, especially from North America, believed that he wouldn't perform well in this tournament. However, let's hope he proves everyone wrong. Personally, Jinggg's consistent performance at the top of the leaderboard in ranked matches already demonstrates that he still possesses the necessary game sense and mechanical skills in Valorant. Therefore, I have high hopes for Jinggg.

[@JosoLifts]

[@vividogre]

Bren was definitely off the meds this episode

[@trevertreakle55]

How can I go about becoming a pro player on a pro team on a pro stage any helpful info appreciated

[@IanStrain23328]

I mean, TMV wasnt giving SEN credit on his video he did of Louds Lotus. He was saying that Loud lost because they just had the worse comp. He didnt compliment SEN on how they were reading the map, or how Johnqt was calling on how to play. Loud simply lost because of comp and if they were playing a mirror comp, he's saying that Loud would win it. Like the game was 13-4 in SENs favour. EDIT: As a Canadian, if you want cheapish rent go to any city that isnt that big, as in for BC go to a place like Maple Ridge, or Abbottsford. Or go to a province like Saskatchewan. Its a frozen tundra and there isnt much to do out there, but its cheap out there.

[@jadedmari]

if he's doing a video on LOUD'S lotus comp why would he be focusing on the other team??? if the comp doesn't fundamentally work on the map it doesn't matter what the enemy team is doing 🤯

[@dest1n1es46]

It's kind of ironic they talk about how they shouldn't run it back or how Monyet brings flexibility to the roster that Jinggg doesn't etc. When in the counterpart game (LoL), we just had the world champs who ran it back for 2 whole straight years and was ALSO 2nd place the previous worlds.

Monyet was put in a role he shit the bed on and deserves better for it on a different team, that's all there is to it. what we're saying is just heavily disrespecting jinggg and what he's done for the team

Honestly, I agree with you. Everything takes times even if they already have the chemistry.@@swapbriarASMR

[@realshi229]

@@swapbriarASMR stop. Please stop. There is no way you watched PRX this year if you don’t think he wasn’t their worst player overall and not just statistically. It is actually unreal that you think his Split map vs SEN forgave every underperformance he’s delivered since the start of the year, the fact that he had the highest ACS for his team in that series playing Raze for 3/4 maps is not something worthy to point out, it’s literally the bare minimum. I’m only saying what’s true, he ended up shitting the bed because of his inability to play Raze good enough for PRX and it’s why he got replaced in a heart beat the second Jinggg came back even though they placed 3rd. While the rest of the roster has been stepping up massively when it mattered, at the same time they were finding themselves playing with someone that carried over the worst Razs stats in back to back tournaments (also the lowest ACS by far). His impact has been near non-existent. The replacement is def an instant upgrade no matter how we look at it. Believing it rn or not doesn’t even matter.

[@realshi229]

@@swapbriarASMR there has never been an improvement from him as a player since joining PRX, he has literally downgraded his performance compared to when he was on GE because he was forced to play in a position he wasn't comfortable in, what don't you understand. Instead of crying about your random ass assumption that I hate the guy and making goofy af grammar corrections, let's look at and appreciate the truth for once because atp you're now disrespecting Monyet HIMSELF if you in anyway think he's improved at all compared to what he was last year.
