Nongshim were too good.
There is not a single team that fits the meta better right now with Dambi on the Neon. That MVP says it all. Any player on the team could have won MVP. -
Map pool
Honestly I've said this before and will say it again: it's an absolute miracle Paper Rex made it this far with the map pool currently. Their two best maps of Sunset and Lotus are out of the pool. Abyss, their permaban is in. Haven, a map they permabanned before, is one of their best (Wendler's comp definitely helps) -
Inexperience
Yes, PRX has much more experience than Nongshim when it comes to grand finals. But what PRX does not have experience in is coming in from the lower bracket. This is the first time Paper Rex has ever won a lower final and was forced to face double map ban advantage, coupled with the unfavourable map pool, this would not be a good map veto for them. -
They just... didn't have a good day
Something with a 0.02 rating is all you need to see, especially on a map like Split they are normally good at. They just seemed to be tilted from the lower bracket.
Would go more in depth but I am tired
