I'll still make the same argument that last few scores of g2 on pearl were loss against sen and almost loss against eg and 100t idk if they will be that confident on it and pearl is also the only map where I think prx didn't show everything as it was a quick 13-1 compared to the other maps

Yeahh if haven gets picked then it could be a really interesting match considering the risk involved. But I kinda wanna see ascent lol tho ik prx is not that good in it but its always fun to see the weird comps which they only do on ascent nowadays

hmm I did see somewhere mini talking that prx do have something on haven but I can't really see this game as the opportunity to take that risk knowing that g2 picks haven and as for 1 other map....unfortunately prx are the only team which has showed all their maps in swiss other than haven, I don't think they have enough time to prepare a whole lot on other maps tho if they take the gamble and pick haven and it works then they are gonna look like the ultimate big brain team lol

True g2 are definitely good on pearl but yeah I mean they could have cooked a lot of good stuff on sunset which they are yet to show while prx just showed that map yesterday, g2 can maybe antistrat it knowing that prx don't have the time to cook something more on sunset in just 1 day

Yeah I agree that's why I still kept lotus in the map veto keeping aside the 9 rounds throw prx have been quite dominant on lotus and I think they should still back their lotus

hmm idk I went back to see the scores of g2's maps in recent times they lost on pearl against sen and almost lost pearl against 100t and eg so I am not sure if g2 will be confident in picking it

G2 bans Pearl
PRX bans Haven
G2 picks Ascent
PRX picks Sunset
G2 bans icebox
PRX bans .....Split
Lotus decider......idk as a prx fan predicting this veto is hella scary imo maybe I'm just predicting a veto which gives prx the best chance, regardless I have done this predicting veto 2 times before got 1 map correct the 1st time 2 maps correct 2nd time maybe I predict all maps correctly this time

symmetry of logos?

100% agreed I honestly don't see ascent getting picked as like tl already has less time to prep as it is so I think its best for them if they ride their momentum on icebox/sunset as their pick and after that I think prx will ban ascent as the 2nd ban so yeah idk it will be interesting still if ascent gets picked

yeah I mean not necessarily muddy I think it should still be a fundamentally fine valorant game but I definitely agree that whoever aim diffs is gonna win this game

overrated is a bit harsh imo as even tho for this tournament th didn't play good its not like prx played a close game against them so like if we are taking the th was ass as a comparison then prx also dominated them(I'm not calling u out btw I can see that u are prx fan I am just talking about the prx might have gotten overrated thing)

Lol I mean I'm a prx fan so I prefer if this happens but gotta be a neutral untill game starts can't jinx the train :)

ehh I think the opposite simply because as I predict the veto atleast one of sunset and icebox is guaranteed to be picked and it could be both as well it could even be an ascent pick, prx lost both on ascent and icebox recently while tl won on icebox. As for sunset prx are yet to play it but tl won on sunset recently so momentum wise tl are favoured in this veto no matter how it goes

Its a really tough situation for prx in this veto I'm not quite sure whether they will really be that underconfident on icebox after 1 loss when they have been quite good on it recently and then there's also that historically prx have never been confident in ascent even if they win on it they avoid it like in pacific after winning in ascent against t1(13-4) they banned it against drx and didn't pick it against boom even tho they picked fracture which they lost 13-3 against T1, regardless I think this map veto is gonna heavily favour TL

Yeah that's why I added at the end that icebox could be TL pick instead of being the decider

PRX bans Haven
TL bans Pearl
PRX picks Lotus
TL picks Sunset
PRX bans ascent
TL bans split
Icebox decider tho TL could pick icebox and sunset can be the decider

Idk if this is already done or not but best vct random transfer is definitely prx slowly(get it because prx play fast but gets a player named slowly)

Lol I mean if we want a banger then split has to be picked because as we all know split only gives bangers and its getting proved again and again even in sen vs wolves

Yeah I believe that that's why I picked sunset and lotus as the maps because I believe prx will have some new stuff cooked on these maps like they had on pearl and icebox which could surprise geng like they did to th and haven has to be the confirmed ban

lol yk I have the complete opposite thoughts I genuinely believe that everytime prx plays against rrq or geng in this tournament they should be guaranteed to play ascent because prx is not that good on it and even in mibr match geng left ascent as the decider but yeah its up for debate

prx also has a solid icebox but yeah I think i agree with u tho it could go either way, predicting the veto for this match is difficult as both these teams have a decently good map pool(except for haven I think any map has a good possibility of being played)

I mean obv the sunset for geng was really good but then there's also the fact that geng revealed their improved sunset while prx are yet to show it so maybe they can anti strat geng

Yeah is possible but they also banned icebox first vs mibr so I thought it could be same again

GENG ban icebox
PRX ban haven
GENG picks Ascent
PRX picks Lotus
GENG bans pearl
PRX bans split
Sunset decider

A team who has the longest running streak
for qualifying for internationals, have always been consistent in internationals and got top 3 in the last 3 internationals. Can u really say that team is overrated if they finally have a bad performance in international? And even top 6 is not the worst thing, sure u can say they didn't reach the expectations for this tournament, but overrated? Nah I don't think, just my opinion tho
