The story of EG can be summerized with one statement: "Started from the bottom now we're here" GGs!

[@uncursing7001]

Its so sad to see jinggg leave the scene at the height of his career, paper rex wont be the same without him

[@Raphael_1024]

I think it's the peak of prx, without jinggg's firepower,W gaming no more But maybe it's a chance for them to learn cooperation and strategy

[@cheesybagels]

A new era of PRX is coming whether good or bad as a PRX fan. I just hope they keep the same spirits.

[@uncursing7001]

Kangkang popping off in-game so hard that he smashes his table out of pure adrenaline is one of my favorite moments of the event, that guy just has the most iconic stage moments 😂

wait I always see them say this but what actually happened

[@Stupidwill]

​@@puzu8326basically EG needed 100T to lose so EG could advance, and MIBR beat 100T

[@gannix3894]

​@@puzu8326 In NA Groups EG was 4-5 and 100T was 4-4. The last game was 100T v MiBr, if MiBr won EG would have made it to playoffs.Because Made in "MiBr" Brazil Beat 100 "100T" Thieves, Evil "EG" Geniuses became World Champions.

How different region’s fans react after the enemy team teabags them: EU: Lol NA: Lol btw YOUR TEAM IS TRASH APAC: You’re so DISRESPECTFUL and TOXIC Brazil & China: You will not see the light of day tomorrow

[@nokkr6m]

It's not EU style to do that and APAC is more into real trashtalk in twitter or in game that can lead into someone getting fired 🤭

Quick title edit incoming

[@nguyenviettrung5871]

It’s probably somewhat my fantasy but, jjing leaving will destabilise PRX by a large margin. Ofc there should be replacements in place, (CRGS) although I would love it if they could take someone that’s able to play like Jjing, an example is Tenz as he even stated that he loves PRX’s style of playing. There’s so many candidate but I still think PRX could have won that series.

[@kkzsam7653]

thank you mibr

[@kuro699]

I’m bitter of this win because of all the disrespect they had, but also happy for them because they showed real consistency and teamplay gg Potter for your out-of-this-world work

[@hume15]

Fr. Both are my fav teams but was rooting for eg cuz I really wanted potter to see a win for her team but after the disrespectful behavior from the members, didn't feel so sure anymore.

[@samster7704]

the disrespect was only on stage to make things interesting. The players were normal off stage and did stuff like trading jerseys with other teams

[@sweettoxicity4980]

i was rooting for fnatic, but then this demon1 speeches made him my favourite player (FNC still favourite team tho), was rooting EG solely for his smack talk, literally. Loved his villain act !!
