Maybe PRX needs to bomb out.
Let's do the "they only qualified bcs of points and look horrible" script. Everyone underestimates prx and then bam, they win champs 2026. They have less pressure too cuz they are underdogs

PRX stage2 script

Do you think it was the pressure that got to them? It didn't seem to effect them all tournament and all besides Invy have a masters win so they don't need to worry about that narrative.
Def the pressure. You have double map advantage and it is a team of rookies. Lev did not have much pressure cuz no one expected them to be there. meanwhile, everyone had prx winning
and 4 grand finals btw (fpx copen, eg la, fnc tor, ns sant) no way its the pressure lmao fuck outta here
What else am i suppose to think bro. Losing 4finals with 3 being from the upper bracket. It really just seems that prx isn’t good at dealing with pressure even if they have more experience
im sorry but how do you play 4 grand finals and still feel pressure, especially after you already won a trophy
i mean last tournament they were saying its because lower bracket gassed them, but prx started in playoffs and made upper gf this time, so now the excuse is back to pressure?
Ask the players. I think the “curse narrative” can’t escape their head which is why they have so much pressure. They also are favorites in most finals.
This isn’t even an excuse, but just the clear truth when u look at their finals history
after a certain point surely we can’t just keep going back to “pressure”, surely a team that has been to the most amount of grand finals in history has the experience to deal with high pressure situations, right? we can’t keep saying pressure this pressure that since 2022…
especially when we’re doing shit like not jumping out for teammates (sato 3k b site lotus) or not swinging together (blowz 1v2 lotus A)
there’s no way shit like that is a pressure thing, it’s a discipline thing is it not? how are seasoned veterans making simple mistakes like these man it’s just disappointing
U think i want “pressure” to be the reason? Having experience means that you usually deal with pressure better than those without experience yet somehow prx just seem to always suck at dealing with “pressure.” The reason why they were less discipline was because they felt the need to make a play. They were scared. They couldn’t handle the pressure on that last map ofnlotus. The moment they lost the first pistol, u saw them start crumbling but by bit
nah there’s no justifying those two rounds i specified, you can watch them back, the spacing was atrocious man it was genuinely like watching a different team play.
i just think it sounds cheap to fall back on the pressure excuse for 4 years now. since 2022 the first reason to come up whenever prx lost a grand final was always pressure, always choke, mental issue. it cannot seriously be the same reason for 4 years. people thought it was over after panda was brought in, too. but still it’s pressure.
i mean it has to be something else. discipline, chemistry issue maybe with invy, bad form on the day, i’m just tired of hearing “pressure”
it isn’t cheap. why did they play those 2rounds that way?
pressure -> doesn’t think -> make mistakes -> make hero plays
I'm pretty sure you feel pressure every time you're in a clutch right? same way you feel the pressure every time in a GF
yeah but the pressure i felt in my very first clutch was significantly higher than in the clutch situations i’m in today. that’s literally what experience does
do you still walk into an exam hall with the same level of nervousness as you did your first ever exam? even if you studied hard for it?
Yeah now multiply that pressure 100 times you get the pressure of a GF on top of that you have a fear of losing again in your mind which is already engraved in their brains every final they will play that thought will come no matter what and then slowly things stop going your way that's the part where PRX lost it on Lotus where they lost first couple of rounds.
If you want example watch boaster interview after stage 2 where he said that after every game and every round he questions what value he's giving to his team I think that's another reason why FNC arguably with the most strongest mental in the game had a breakdown because boaster was trying too hard
people literally said the pressure issue was solved after patmen and panda joined and they won toronto, now we’re acting as if the team that has made the most grand finals in history still feels the same pressure? even when rookie teams like LEV, NS, GEN.G were able to overcome the pressure? FNC lost their first grand final and still overcame the pressure to win LOCKIN and Tokyo
like it has to be something else im tired of blaming it on pressure
no one blamed it on pressure lol LEV outclassed us on Ascent and split but on lotus you can clearly see every player had a mental breakdown except for invy I guess that's because Invy didn't had any worries about losing again the other 4 did
LEV were just in a completely different form right now. I think after losing some unfortunate rounds early on Lotus thats when the pressure definitely hit them. But honestly LEV were just better.
Anyone would be tilted after the kind of bullshit rounds they were losing on lotus early on
this time the pressure and the pstd will come back they will think that the curse is back again. i swear they will never win a international trophy again after champs 2025 roster move
they literally won toronto from 0-3 in groups. They just need to get a win at the start of groups at champs
its because patmen was the key, he's holding the team on leash, controlling them, giving ideas and calls during game
yeh they were alot more discipline with patmen but i don't think patmen would have allowed prx to make b2b grandfinals.
Everything will be answered at champs 2026
Difference is, they were trying their hardest and still went 0-3, then something changed and they gained momentum and started believing again.
I don’t think deliberately choosing to play bad and qualifying with points is the ideal strategy.
Obv prx is good but if they do bad, people start underestimating them alot more cuz rn everyone respects prx too much and all eyes on prx
Being underdogs for them wont do anything they are a very experienced team they dont feel the pressure that much
Too arrogant coming into split and once the momentum shifted, they couldn’t recover
Also f0rsaken’s performance has been mediocre this tournament
If they want to win champs, they need to be more humble and everyone needs to be in form, not just a different set of 3-4 players a match.
idk why prx not banning split against lev, especailly after prx got destroyed by vitality on that map
they just won against EDG. But the dumbest part is PRX refuse to adapt to LEV's defender.
EDG literally give free VOD how to counter LEV defender
yeah I thought we were gonna play better since EDG almost won against LEV on that map
they bomb out and then team secret will go to champs as the 2nd seed and will win the whole event
