People under-estimate the value in PRX being able to finish top 3/4 consistently even if they have no trophies yet.
PRX as a valo org has earned more money than FNC, SEN and LOUD (trophy teams) simply due to consistency. They are only beaten by EG due to the champs prize pool. As an org, not having a trophy would suck but at least my team is consistently top place.
Edit: International recognition from being consistent is important too.
BulkyLettuce [#2]correct, they are consistently not winning trophies
NRG fans shouldn’t talk until they make it back to a competition that even has trophies 😭
Aayan [#3]i agree wit u in principle, but in practice the prize money gets trickled down into barely anything per player and is probably negligible unless u can repeat it over something insane like 10 years
also winning trophies will pay way more indirectly, you will bring in more investors and current shareholders are gonna be happy to give you more capital thats probably worth way more than being consistently 3-4th

But I don't get the value (to an investor) in a team winning a trophy for a split and then doing nothing else for a long time. SEN situation is a good example, if you invested in SEN stocks at Reykjavik you've been down bad for two years. If you invested in FNC stocks at Tokyo you've been down bad for almost a year. If you invested in PRX you're feeling pretty good.

Who is the duelist from Bilibili?
uwukitten [#9]0 legacy kkkkkkkkkkkk
it's one thing to win one trophy then be a top team for a while and another to win no trophy and be a top team for a long time. no one will give a shit about how many third places shitRX has gotten
PRX is literally one of the most popular teams in the scene and a huge part of that is their consistent international representation.
True that winning a trophy will give you clout but what good is that clout if you can't even be consistent. Gambit and Optic both disbanded after trophy wins, FNC and Loud have not been able to maintain form since their best splits, EG is literally exiting e-sports despite winning champs.

You're partially correct, but a good investor will see a team performing badly the exact same as a team consistently performing at 3rd-4th. Because neither are a good investment, if you want a good % return you need to go for the best, otherwise its always wise to invest into other companies. It sorta ties into why the esports model is kinda flawed but thats a different discussion

Fair, makes sense.

If you want a good ROI you don’t invest in esports..
starxito_sike [#24]he cooked yo team too lil bro, ik you had that drx flair 😭😭😭
lmfao 😭 fax but mf should learn not to make stupid arguments especially when those arguments apply to the team he reps
Dybala21 [#27]True but honestly as a PRX fans. I have been supporting them since 2021 and seeing their growth from no namers to a household name. I would also want them to win an international trophy. Hopefully this is their year
I feel you. I do think this is the year.
