OXY probably whined about how he's "more disciplined" nowadays and immi was like, "Oh hush little baby don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright" and decided to snitch on Rossy in front of Jack Etienne

I really had VALORANT as my top artist I can't

Watch this team fold, they don't have a proper IGL and are taking a gamble on Sayf as the IGL, we've seen this before you know... (cough cough NRG)
It's not about just putting all the strongest pieces in one team, there must be a presence of a good leader who they can rely on in tough situations, and Vitality doesn't have that.

With Ruxic on smokes and Shao back on initiator, I could see this team making internationals again

PRX just needs to fix their discipline and overheating issues, that's it. They have cracked aimers all round, a great coach, and good team synergy and vibes. I've never seen a team with more trophy winning potential but at the same time less trophy winning potential than PRX

Well, look at last season...

Madrid -> lost to SEN
Shanghai -> lost to G2, and eventually got eliminated by 100T
Seoul -> lost to G2 again

Even in 2023, they lost to C9 at LOCK//IN and lost to EG twice at Tokyo and LA, the latter being in the grand final.
I'd say their record against NA teams is pretty shit despite getting some wins against them.

icy, Rossy, supamen, yay and Derrek would unironically be a great team

Rossy is a direct upgrade from NaturE, and I would say the same for yay replacing Apoth. Losing jawgemo for icy is a clear downgrade but I mean, what else can you do at this point lol, icy has gained enough experience from last year and maybe you just hope he doesn't have LAN jitters in his second year

I just came up with something off the top of my head, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a show I used to watch as a kid lol

DFM and MIBR actually deserve their slots after the roster moves they have made

o0o0o has to be the goofiest IGN after hfmi0dzjc9z7

Ikr, and the fact that she's not in GC anymore rules out the one reason why people hated her a lot

Like these guys are genuinely transphobic and not even hiding it lol

Let's be real, we always say this lmao it never happens

Other than the author sexualizing literal minors, it's pretty good

UHHH WHATTTT????!!!!

"Can they beat EMEA and NA teams" brother PRX almost always beats EMEA teams, hell, even mid PRX beat the likes of KC, TH and FUT this year

It's the NA teams where the problem is at, and PRX has an abysmal record against them. However, if they continue to play normal comps like this on certain maps, I could see a world where they make top 3 at a Masters event next year

I think the reason people were super disappointed in PRX last season was because they expected this team to win tournaments or at least make 2nd place finishes

It's hard to be a good flex tbh, cuz you basically sacrifice your comfort to play whatever the team needs

If Rankers even go to Ascension it's gonna be a problem for tier 2 NA lmao

In that case even zombs won an international event. So is zombs better than mindfreak?

My guy Demon1 was the literal MVP of Champions 2024 and was on fire the whole way through in 2023

Hindsight Harry if I've ever seen one
Going into 2024, NRG had one of the most successful cores in the OpTic core of crashies, Victor and Marved, followed by two players who just wondering Champs, one of them being the MVP of the tournament

The only thing the team didn't have was a true IGL, and guess what Vitality doesn't have as well?

In hindsight you say this about NRG, but then it was a different story lol

Maybe I have very bad PTSD from 2024 NRG but this roster is almost the same in comparison when you look at it. Great talents put together without a proper IGL to lead them.

I hope the team is actually great and not pretending to be great

I agree on the VIT take, I just don't see how a team without a proper IGL is gonna do well, we've seen this already with NRG where it's an all star team without a good leader. I think they're gonna do bad in Kickoff, probably make playoffs in Stage 1 but bomb out, going into Stage 2 one player is gonna get kicked for sure

Haters on their way to comment "pr0mm00 🐮"

I think what OP meant by this was that he sacrificed his comfort to play a role he's not accustomed to, for the team

s1mple from Flipkart

What's better is that he's playing KJ and Cypher like they are supposed to be played, which is a great sign as that was the main worry when it came to Jinggg on sentinel (is he gonna be too aggressive and give away his life?)

Having 3 strong maps going into Kickoff is gonna be a huge advantage for them, and that's not even considering Fracture which is gonna be a great map for them as well

My faith has been restored, thank you Jingjoy and Jypher

I wouldn't say something's Sova is that good yet, but he has time to rectify his mistakes

The only game where Jinggg played bad was the Gen.G one

Ever since he's been decent and these past few games he's been showing off what he learnt in the off season (sentinel agents), and MAN did he do a good job at it. Oh no, I have faith again. FUCK

They're a tier 1 team, they're playing to win
We already saw how bad they are with their so-called "innovative" comps, I'd rather watch them win comprehensively with meta comps than lose close games with a shit comp

BRO JUST MAKE HIM YOUR PERMA SENTI PLAYER HOLY

This guy is actually good on that role

They are not just a rollercoaster, they're the whole amusement park

nAts isn't even top 5 lol

And when someone critiques their team, they either change their flair or start insulting the other person's flair by reminding them about the games their team lost

At that moment I legit thought I was watching skinwalkers of the PRX players

TMV asked a question on his stream today regarding the top 10 players of all time, and asked his chat whether they'd take f0rsakeN or Shao, and literally everyone said f0rsakeN.

That's how you know he's one of the best players of all time, because people would rather choose him over a guy who has won an international event

PRX are playing the standard Ascent comp, it's over

What I saw on Ascent was pure strats and great mid rounding though
They just need to play more normal comps / comps that make sense, and watch them cook

What's funny is that he wasn't even ass lmao he actually played well for a first game on an agent

He did some good stuff like mollying the market door to prevent TE from flooding, lurking to catch them off guard (few whiffs here and there, unlucky), and patiently waiting for any pushes with his turret watching main. For a start I'd say he did well

No cap he's actually the best player on the team
He's always consistent with his entries regardless of whether he gets kills or not, and is a solid team player

Well, play comps with interesting combos and shit if you really wanna play weird stuff, not comps with massive holes for the other team to exploit going into round 4

LMAO NAHHH

It's not dropping any of the players that's for sure, cuz that would be a dumb decision considering how every player is just insane individually

They must, and I say MUST, fix their comps and stop overcooking with shit agents like Sage and Deadlock, or solo Skye on a map like Abyss where your enemies can be anywhere. The moment they do that is the moment they come back to 2023 form and start rolling even good teams like they used to

Idk about you but something doesn't look that bad on Sova and neither does Jinggg on Deadlock, they just have to fix their shit ass comps man, like I swear wtf is that Abyss comp?

Getting bodied is an exaggeration lmao, I don't think you understand how good NS are going to be, especially in this Neon meta, Dambi is gonna run circles around PRX. As for DFM, we already saw them 2-0 PRX so that says enough about their capabilities
What I wanted to say was, TLN can 'contest' PRX but the likelihood of them actually beating PRX is low.

Regardless, PRX are so much weaker now compared to even last season which wasn't a great one for them, so expect more teams to hold a candle and even defeat them in Pacific

Can't wait for Smartest_Fan to start glazing the living hell out of TL just for them to finish bottom 3 next season

I don't think the narrative that "they make internationals cuz competition in Pacific is shit" is gonna work in 2025 if I'm being honest, cuz we already have DFM, GEN, T1, NS and even TLN to contest PRX

If anything PRX might just scrape by to Champs as the 4th seed and just bomb out 0-2 or manage to somehow win a game and go 1-2 in groups

Meiy The entire team is the truth
It's not DetonatioN FocusMeiy anymore, they got some crazy shooters now
