paper rex havent even shown their bind yet!!! with their new brim+harbour+skye+reyna+raze stuff they cooked up and even their old yoru comp makes me excited to see them on bind... they have been floating bind for every veto i hope they bring it out against EG in upper finals
edit - sometimes i wish i was alecks desk so he could smack me :3
Jdang_SG [#2]tbf many team will anticipate this and probably learn some hard counter to their comp but i would love to see it tho.
im sure alecks mightve cooked something up but yeah it would be fun considering how good EG is at antistratting

also never forget astra + neon + yoru on breeze in grand finals last map hehe
DrudaL [#4]I had feeling prx v eg map will be bad for prx if they keep ban haven and not fracture.
I hope they prepared something for haven.
man i wish they ban fracture and pick bind

I don’t know why even PRX perma ban haven, last time they played, they won on haven
SweetyMajdoor [#7]I don’t know why even PRX perma ban haven, last time they played, they won on haven
yep, even in 2022 they were known as a good haven team.

yes! thats why i think daddy alecks has something new and is just hiding it by not picking bind and banning haven :3
MourninggStarr [#8]EG might first ban bind though tbh with you, since PRX always ban haven (which is what EG usually ban first)
im sure prx dont ban haven as #7, #10, #11
Warlordwibz [#9]Don't wanna reveal too early, or else will give opponent more time to counter strat.
or you might lose because you not reveal your "best" strategy
bilim [#13]or you might lose because you not reveal your "best" strategy
isnt finals the best time to do it tho?
any way its a bo5 in grand finals if they win
MourninggStarr [#8]EG might first ban bind though tbh with you, since PRX always ban haven (which is what EG usually ban first)
EG bans haven and bind mostly.
EG will ban bind in start 100%, Don’t know if PRX will ban fracture or haven, my gut feeling says PRX will ban haven

remember Copenhagen bind vs FNC? they used it too early, OPTIC heavy prep for it, they have to change comps. FPX destroy PRX bind in the final 13-3. Besides PRX map pool is big enough, just make sure to ban Haven, cause I remember in PRX vlog f0rsakeN was heavy malding losing to DRX on haven.
I have a theory that the reason PRX stopped playing Haven is because it was Benkai's map.
Remember how forsaken said in the interview that he makes strats for Bind. So when we consider that there is a high chance Benkai was the one who prepped their Haven and he seemed to be comfortable calling on it and even win while trying new stuff. Just check their Haven match history in from 2022 -23. They tried like 7+ variations
The simpler theory is that since its a 3 site map and with PRX's calling structure it would super difficult on the defense side for them to know where the pushes and pulls are happening

Lotus plays out way differently than Haven even though both of them are 3 site maps.
I dont know if it makes sense but hear me out. If you divide the maps horizontally in halves, Haven is a 5 lane maps and Lotus is a 3/3.5 lane map. And these lanes are avenues for attack to come through. And a smart IGL like Saadhak or Boaster could push and pull your defense around making your guess where the attack is coming from
PS. Someone smart help me verify if this theory is good or bogus
SweetyMajdoor [#7]I don’t know why even PRX perma ban haven, last time they played, they won on haven
that was before something joined tho...i agree they might have stuff cooked up but they also cooked up breeze comp back in copenhagen, which made me cry so idk

Yeah playing against EG is so hard because u just get fucked in the veto stage cuz u either ban your perma ban or fracture
voxsu [#11]yes! thats why i think daddy alecks has something new and is just hiding it by not picking bind and banning haven :3
It’s been their like perma ban ever since icebox was removed iirc

Eg also banns haven so if prx win toss they will become team b and if eg ban haven first then they can ban fracture
De-addy [#27]Eg also banns haven so if prx win toss they will become team b and if eg ban haven first then they can ban fracture
I think the play is to pick team A and not ban haven forcing eg to ban it
