Why The Guard Lost

Aim.

strats didnt matter this game they lost crucial aim fights that were honestly in their favor and got ecoed so many times

Nervousness and a lot of pressure.

Sad to see them only get to play against one international team (Damn you riot!!!) but ggs to PRX, they played well.

Aim and strats... they couldn't deal with a fast pace playstyle

PPX was better. That's why TGRD lost

To be honest, Guard was just not prepared for PRX's hyper aggressive style of gameplay. I don't recall any other NA team having a similar playstyle to APAC which made The Guard uncomfortable and unfamiliar to adapt to.

They didn't rush C enough unlike chet and fns

the direct playoff layout backfired so hard

they never adjusted against PRX's fast paced styleso they lost

They chocked after this /\

They really didn't handle the pressure well especially trent

lot more than just aim , also just can't counter the aggression. On top of them not having the mental to recover.

NA = NO AIM

They don't have Jinggg. Thats why they lost

The Guard are legitimate LAN and International Rookies, they either would go all the way or bomb out early. Can't really jump on their case too much for that.

they really heavily on prep but teams like PRX do unpredictable plays every round they aren't flexible enough to deal with.

ratio , what nervousness ? , it is jingg's first lan as well

they lost because they had a comeback in yesterday's optic gaming match, if yesterday's match was won, it wouldn't have been eliminated so early and the first playoff match should not have been Na vs Na bad system

It's the guards first lan as in the whole team, not just 1 player. People handle it differently but in the end paper rex handled it better and performed better.

and? not everyone has the same personality/mentality, calm to deal with difficult situations and decisions.
