With Paper Rex benching Benkai, an org that's supposed to represent the MY/SG region, Paper Rex's roster is no longer primarily comprised of MY/SG players. People gave RRQ a lot of shit for this, why not the same for Paper Rex?
thatpower [#4]i don't think prx promised a full my/sg roster
I thought during the Riot announcement video for franchise teams, they stressed they chose orgs to represent the sub regions of APAC and that Paper Rex would represent MY/SG
RRQ made promises to be indonesia representative before franchised teams were announced, basically hyping themselves up as Indonesia savior of sorts, and remember their team were full of Philipines players at first, so to take over teams such as Boom means the whole of Indonesia are staring at the backs of RRQ to represent them, which backfired immensely when they barely got any Indonesians on the team
Paper Rex on the other hand never made that sort of big promise to the community and for the most part the benching of Benkai is just because he is not working well with the team, and not a direct attack at MY/SG or anything of the sorts. PRX HQ is also situated in Singapore, and until that move they will still be considered the franchised team from MY/SG.
Denggysaurus [#10]Only 2/5ths of active roster :/
look at global esports its 1/5 and indians arent complaining
queueK [#5]forsaken and mindfreak have been on the team for so long they're basically honorary mysg members lol. I think the problem with RRQ was building a new roster (which was supposed to be indonesian iirc) and choosing the players they did
rrq's problem is that they are worried about their image in ph

they were their own thing before franchising so no one really cares

they didnt even choose they just kept tier 2 players from their past team
alice_ [#8]RRQ promised their fans a my/sg roster

forsaken-mindfreak-davai-benkai had been their core from csgo up until later stages of this year
DrudaL [#9]Rrq was not even popular on val scene and they use Indo represent to bait riot to gave them franchise spot, but they was fking sign 5 ph players (contract until 2026 btw)
Yea this is why rrq got alot of shit for, even ceo said that he chose to represent indo rather than ph in an interview, but first edition of the roster only had 1 indo and 5 pinoy lol.
chloeburbank [#13]look at global esports its 1/5 and indians arent complaining
This kinda confused me, cuz if its Indo/rrq, I prefer to have 3+ players from my country rather than imports. Its okay to strugle maybe 1-2 years but they will had a chance to improve.
GE is L org, keep kappa for 2 whole years and didn't sign any young talent, and now they only keep 2 India players
koromast [#16]no worries blud next year bleed will be there too anyways (copium)
i think boom or dk will win not bleed they are overrated
idt you'll see any heat for PRX bcuz most SGpean or MYsian will not care that much. Maybe popularity will decrease a lot for PRX here due to low representation. I do think they still likely will have atleast 2 or 3 players bcuz they basically got the slot frm mysg.
Also among mysg its more convenient to get a MY player than a SG bcuz they wont hv to abruptly leave the team to fulfill ns obligations. For now problem being they got much less player pool than sg
