why are prx favourites in this? like are we downplaying th because they lost against fnatic? they still have the firepower to beat teams and with enough time they will

cuz PRX have flukey skibidi gameplay
I think PRX easily win that game
th did well even with miniboo shitting the bed last year, plus he's not even that bad, just got shit on by kaajak (probs top 5-10 itw)
because heretics hasnt won against prx historically (twice)
and minip00 being a onetrick neon is worse than something being a one trick jett
at madrid they lost beacuse it's their first international event
we'll see soon who's gonna choke harder, prx or th
Two times is a tiny sample space especially when one is an off-season game with a completely different roster.
just because it was 2-1 doesnt mean it wasnt convincing lmfao
they got sat down in map 3 13-7
but alas thats enough arguing with emea copers
Glad you asked!

team heretics first international vs prx's 7th 8th, we saw how the next two tournaments went for both the teams
the only reason prx won that game is because monyet and something were fueled by rage and hatred
now the rage monster is replaced by jinggg
honestly the most exciting and fun game of the first round, thats all i can say
its not reactionary bias its just paper rex has beat them every time they've played against each other which fair enough is only twice but its an objective take.
negative ball knowledge
but hey take it from asscrackbandit instead of me guys he knows a whole lot about this game
last year masters is not ages ago in a game that has as little internationals as valorant
ok so heretics got 1 upgrade
paper rex got 2 upgrades
now think OBJECTIVELY which has a better chance at winning
so heretics coming second and confidently looking like one of the best teams in the world up until today, or PRX who barely got into playoffs and resorted to using insider sources like sliggy and mini and still only got third regionaly.
gee which one seems better
in completely different regions which arguably have very differing playstyles
the question asks why would prx be the favorites: their accolades in comparison to TH this year have been far behind, regardless of region(not to mention how majority of comparison can be done without encompassing the entirety of a region but I digress), and they simply just dont seem to be as stable. I mean both teams lost BO5's today. But I had much more faith in TH winning than PRX, and DRX didnt even make toronto.
50-50 game, slightly favor heretics because the coaches cook. But they need to get off double duelist, prx will cook them when they start playing that fast tempo. Heretics can win by just playing in their spawn, rotate to the site prx is making noise.
First, because PRX have mini helping them.
Second, because PRX have f0rsakeN who can play any and all roles at the highest level.
Third, since FNS has retired and is watch partying again, PRX now have their biggest luck charm to support them.
