What is limiting PRX?

Sen won b4 them. GENG won before them, EG beat them in champs, but, how?

Are they chokers? Do they need a new coach?

Comps, jinggs inability to flex, map pool. They’re all connected and a BIG part of their issues. Other than that it’s there’s the issues with old played out Strats and no clear caller to lead the team properly.

prx plays without discipline, hence losing a lot of rounds in the starts, and their inability to bring back those rounds even though they start playing discipline, costs them the match + plus geng is literally the best team itw atm

mental too partly, esp in bo5 and long bo3s mental plays an even larger part

they crumble under pressure, too many overpeeks, not disciplined at the height of the moment, think they can outaim everyone when we all know what's been happening the past 3 years

Their mid rounding is so bad compared to top teams I think. They were getting read by geng every time and even in split 1 were completely read by geng but only won cause they were in better form individually and as a team. And obviously lack of discipline too in advantageous rounds. So many rounds they overpeek or give free avoidable kills to the opponents.

absolutely J00ng.

their map pool looks mid and their comps are very bad now, like i get it's PRX but their comps have no solid structure or idea of what it wants to do, it's almost like Alecks asks his players what they want to play on maps and ignores the meta.

atp fire alecks. bro has been given plenty of time to do something with this team and every event the shit they cook up is worse than the one before. It just looks like alecks lets the players do whatever they want with the comps and he thinks of strats after

having 2 players with the most largest and smallest agent pool on the same team

map pool is not in their favor lmfao

Alecks is the answer!
I give you guys a good example
Nrg last year, adriis was playing sage and killjoy, fns and chet gave him those roles. He was obviously worst but he picked them for the team
And ardiis this year he's playing kayo and breach he's been good the whole year, ange1 and doombros picked him from nrg and out him on these roles
The reason why I picked Ardiis here is because Victor and zyppan are great raze players compared to him and it's coach and igl's responsibility to see the good fit for the team
Here on prx, they don't have an igl so it's coach who should pick what's right and wrong for the team!

Their own EGO to not give a fuck about coms and think they just better than other that they just useing stupid agent coms / change whenever they want

something just wasn't hitting shots today
a whopping 6 kills in map 2
though I don't think it's a role problem so someone needs to check on the man

Bad macro

Just getting out-read and outaimed today.

Ascent, they are trying to change back to their old comp, and they looked better on defense (with better reads), without a flash on attack (Reyna doesn't count) it was hurting them alot.

For icebox they were just taking duels for no reason. No discipline again on this map. There were some basic strats here and there but GenG's aim was shutting them down.

I'm not sure what other fans feel, but now that GenG has taken the first Pacific trophy I kinda want PRX to continue playing with their own style, not the braindead W gaming but the ones we saw back in Champs last year, really good utility usage, playing as a team, making their weird comps actually work in their favour. Polish up the good parts, keep the mental up, and maybe win (trolling optional). I'm just here to see some fun Valorant.

They dont play meta comps-not always a bad thing but theyre meta for a reason
Jinggg and Something cant flex they can play 6 agents between them-most not good in pro play (Raze/Reyna/Sage/Clove and Jett/Reyna/Gekko)
IMO if they want to win they drop either one of these two cause I doubt theyre will ever be a meta where doble duelist will be good on most maps. Getting rid of something would be ideal based on how Forsaken can flex to jett if needed and Raze is way better on most maps regardless

Something.

shit form

Shitty agent pool creates bad maps makes map draft makes them predictable

I don't watch PRX and Pacific but i think their problem is adapting to the meta and copying from other teams.

You can't copy everything from other teams and expect to win because the players are different and PRX has a unique style but still if GenG won the last Masters that means they are doing most of the things perfect. I think they should copy some stuff from the "BEST" teams and add their own touch on small things

First of all, does prx require a roster changes? If not then change the coach.

I had always thought that PRX should replace "mindfreak" with another controller. But when I think about it, it seems that only mindfreak can be responsible for the controller position in PRX because he has been accustomed and experienced for years with the gameplay of PRX, I doubt if PRX should replace the controller position with another player because it will require a long adaptation time.

1 Their mental is still somehow weak , this has to be addressed, imo they should hire a good sports psychologist like Fnatic has done.

2. Jinggs inability to flex ( as he thought he was finally gonna retire) and play only raze or sage or pheonix ( which is currently barely playable on the current map pool) but this wasn't their own fault considering that initially monyet was gonna be the player and his agent pool was wider, thus they had already dedicated the entire off season to playing with monyet agent pool where the team has much better flex ability.

3. Their map pool is also poor because of the same above reason where they prolly had better comps for maps which they currently suck on in the office season with monyet agent pool.

Shitty agent pool & Shitty map pool too. They're only really really good on sunset & split. Trash on others.

Team with more discipline & actual strats always manage to beat them. Even with less firepower ( like g2 )

As much as I like watching them, they only gonna be remembered as an entertaining team. Not gonna win any international trophy. Ever.

Other teams just learned how to counter 'W' gaming, thats about it. Initially everyone was surprised but now they know how to anti it

something people don't seem to mention today is that they went for their very comfort picks on both maps despite knowing
A) They've gotten anti stratted on these comps plenty of times before
B) Its against GenG, a team that knows them better than anyone else

despite weeks and multiple matches of experimenting (especially on ascent) various roles and comps.

I'm not someone to huff copium thinking they're "hiding strats", its completely possible that they thought those experiments didnt lead to anything fruitful but its still weird to see them not even trying anything different knowing what they've been pulling in previous matches.
also yea, jinggg agent pool is an issue; love the guy but i dont understand why he doesnt play sova when im pretty sure thats his 3rd most played agent after raze and reyna, maybe alecks thinks putting him on sova is a waste of firepower? but he wasnt even shooting all that well today anyway

It's Something's fault, bro should retire, paycheck stealer

the main reason is their comp on some maps (which is due to jing not being able to expand his map pool), also i think they need an igl plus need to play in an organised manner (they need to let go of W gaming...ik it's good sometimes but they need to stop doing it cuz it is costing them trophies)

They’re content creators. By losing they’ll get more views on their streams

What's limiting PRX? All the nerfs and map rotations introduced. We started seeing Jinggg killing enemies with stinger effortlessly. Then It got nerfed. something was shitting on top tier teams with a shorty. Then shorty became more expensive. Haven went out for one season and was back again. (it's PRX banned map for a long time.) Fracture and Pearl where? Then duelist raze got nerfed after jett to make way for Iso and Neon. welp. me just delulu. It's just a game. Just sip your coffee and watch with no expectations.

Bad map pool is one of the main things, there're also lack of discipline, actual plan that's not something/jinggg go kill (like even c9 with OXY go kill plan they have way more setup/teamplay than PRX).
For me it's the fact that they troll with their comp (Copenhagen's breeze and last year Champ 2023 grand final Bind)

Chet is the answer!
I give you guys a good example
EG last year, demon1 was playing Jett and Smoke , potter gave him those roles.
And demon1 this year he's playing raze , chet and teammate force him to play and this very very bad
Here on prx, they don't have an igl so it's coach who should pick what's right and wrong for the team!
