picking 4 duelists because you thought it was a practice round, THEN realizing it wasn't and continuing to play 4 duelists anyways AND THEN WINNNING 13-3 has got to be one of the most based things to happen in any Valorant tournament

[@nukulator]

What's the female form of Chad? Because these girls are that! xD I'm an SMG fan now!

[@Dinmc123]

I think they are telling an untruth because they have picked 5 controllers before 😂

[@rehellinenal]

​@@Dinmc123I think the words you're looking for is that they're lying

[@relykremok1225]

@@Dinmc123 EXACTLY! same here i think they're LYING so they could do it again and catch the other team off guard in the finals since the other teams wont prepare or counter something when they think its a "mistake" if PRX did this strat in the upcoming VCT that means its legit and there's a high chance these SMG gals were scrimming with PRX since they're both SG teams

[@kinghenry825]

​@@relykremok1225i do really think they did a mistake tho. they did 5 duelists, 5 controller, 5 initiator before but in this case its odd to think the one who doesnt playing duelist is enerii who actually the main duelist. also shirazi on raze never seen before

[@maestroplay6563]

It's even more funny when after map 1, SMG coach said they had planned it to immortalize themselves and also to pay respects to their former coach. He actually have no clue as to why they pick 4 duelist either, talking out of his ass 😂😂

[@ThisIsMadnessPeople]

Apparently they thought they were doing a ping check

[@makyou9267]

tbf it might be more complicated because that old coach had them play comps with 5 controllers, 4 initiators, and 4 duelists at some point

[@max.s5202]

To be honest, that's a nice move from the coach. Showing support for the players by covering for them.

[@Lucaz99]

it might as well be they got a phoenix reyna and cypher basically all the classics

[@serenalaurence1492]

[@CiviGG]

Dw, they're well versed in silly comps. They've also played stuff like Raze Reyna solo Harbor on Pearl, quad Sentinel on Haven, quintuple Controller amongst others.

[@s2-railgun718]

PRX is meta comp with twist and SMG is just pure destruction

[@IDontLikeHandIes]

best example of "if you want to confuse the enemy, you must confuse yourself"

[@goostav8235]

Even though this was a mistake, this did kinda make me realise reynas potential - you can't turn her flashes. If you combine her flash with another flash (for example pheonix flash) you basically get an undodgable flash which could be extremely strong in pro play. This combo can also set up the reyna for a kill which is really important for her

[@serenalaurence1492]

Seeing that one round where the Reyna just dismisses like 3 times out of gunfire was just amaaazing

[@ChaS4m]

Yeah PRX saw this potential too, they combo Reyna with Skye often

[@seankim2916]

pheonix is alrdy undodgeable tho if you use it properly.

[@jwlsiee]

this has been known since like the prx double flash comp lmao

[@jb8641]

I was just thinking about this, pairing reyna's flash with another and using it as the secondary one will double its efficiency since the opponents wouldn't be able to re-peek after dodging your teammate's primary flash, thus having a clear path for an exec.

[@yodaorcamaster_6358]

The fact that they did that by accident makes that match even more insane, and their coach making up why they played that after the first map is one of the funniest interviews I have seen. He legit says it was to pay homage to their old coach and it's flashy.

[@nischalthapa2460]

This was one crazy hecking game.... And the fact that it was a total mistake makes it even funnier

[@sabeehmalik5752]

PRX got some competition

[@Harsh_0295]

this reminds me of the time when fnatic played with 4 awps on dust and their awper was not awping

[@jimiyu.]

well tbf in that one they just gave the rifle to jw cuz his spawn was closest to B site

[@iota7037]

Winning with such a comp is impressive, but going 13-3 is pretty fucking dominant. Even with an unfamiliar comp they locked in super heavily for the dub, truly just better

[@me1ody505]

This was truly one of the games of all time

[@jb8641]

one of the best. give them their well-deserved and long-awaited respect.

[@TheHelderVinicius]

This games proves that in ranked you shouldn't stress about team comp but having the whole team play with a cohesive idea

[@alexhussinger3550]

Sometimes the best strategy isn't the one that is the best on paper, but rather the one your opponent does not expect and did not prepare for.

this is why i love apac

[@paegr]

[@pablotheimmortal6440]

I thought holding extra long angles and then backing off into holding slightly more defensive angles is the way against duelists (and not leaving the site). Since duelsits have slightly harder time preventing you from doing that.

[@foxthroat3410]

Now I'm just waiting for them to pull a smoker comp 😂😂😂 they actually had a history of it too 😂
