Did PRX just lose to RRQ because RRQ had the better IGL? by this should they bring back mindfreak to IGL? replace something?
Watching the whole series, it's not down to the IGL calling here. RRQ played very well - Jemkin and Kushy were going nuclear on the overtime maps (Split and Pearl) whilst Monyet, xffero and crazyguy were playing great support. PRX played well also, but they made some key mistakes against ecos such as not using prowler on smokes or clearing certain corners.
PRX definitely need to figure out anti-eco strats for every map as well as anti-stinger strats since the American teams will be ensuring that any big lead or pistol round won is nullified.
Honestly, Jemkin and Kushy just shot really well which made Map 2 and 3 winnable for them. Kushy looked like prime Meteor on Pearl with his lurks and multikills. I will say that when Patmen is on it, he is so difficult to beat. His impact is so impressive and if he continues to polish his plays by using his prowlers and util more diligently, PRX can go another step up. I did not fancy PRX on Split to be fair since they played the 2023 comp. Yoru's presence and Fade's util with Raze is undeniably great.
