just to clarify - this is not a hate post (i love PRX), just something i was curious about
every time PRX makes a deep run at an international tournaments, they’re missing the usual insane stats and ratings that the similarly placed teams have.
for example, at champs 2023, LOUD (3rd) had cauanzin, aspas, less in the top 10 rated players, FNC (4th) had alfa and leo, and EG (1st ofc) had demon1. PRX’s highest rated player was only 13th (d4v41 w/ 1.08), and after smth at 15th, you had to go super far down for the next player (mindfreak/f0rsakeN w/ 1.00)
teams who placed much much worse than them often have quite a few players who outperform all of PRX statistically, and yet PRX still can make deep runs
and in general with any close ish matches, prx’s ratings all seem to be so much lower than their opponent’s
vs EDG and vs KC
just curious as to why you think that is? is it bc of the way rating is calculated, the way PRX play, win matches, etc.
