damnit (https://x.com/sdh_pdl/status/2093657718842433912?s=20)

seriously tho, i know this is them letting their foot off the gas, but since London I genuinely haven't seen them play a good full match once.

They're just so fucking out of form right now. Roles/comps still don't look figured out on a bunch of maps, and we haven't had a single actually good map. And no, don't say Summit lmao, the comp is right there and we can't even attack with it.

The fundamentals look awful too:

can't trade for shit
spacing is so bad
Jason is so off on smokes rn
Davai HAS to be on senti. I know they keep saying "we're too aggressive, we don't want senti" but bro, for the last 5 years they've basically only looked good with a senti comp. Maybe Split DD is the exception.
Invy starts maps so fucking slow, just count him out for the first 5 rounds at this point
JJ keeps going 5 miles ahead of everyone with zero chance of follow-up, and he's been insanely hit or miss lately

Like I don't even know what the solution is rn because so many things are just off at the same time.

Ilya getting back into form is genuinely the only hope I have at this point.

Theres a 100000 jasons, jjs and iliyas on this world. How the fuck are we meant to know and differentiate who youre talking about.

They are not your friends but pixels on your screen. To you they are something, jingg and forsaken. Jasons is the guy from your class in school. Not an e celeb you feel parasocial to.

The game is at a point where being a good shooter is not enough; you have to use brain which PRX does not try to use

Im saying its kinda weird seeing PRX fans refer to the player by their real names. THEY call each other by real name because they know each other, they dont know u lil bro

They are profiting off goobers like you building parasocial relationships with them. The money prx make is reflected in their salary. Also stream income is boosted.

prx flair vs satire comment 🫩

it's literally a cultural difference like in furia koala literally calls shyy shyy and basic basic + it depends on how oftenly used a players first name is actually used

Take in reference skuba
Every nrg player calls him sku
It's whatever a players most common name or nickname is in the team not fans except for a slander name like skububu for reference

In prx case it's JJ (nickname) ilya (real name) Jason (real name)
