I don't understand how the 2nd place curse happens so regularly, is it just that the anti-strating becomes too good or something? It's really sad about prx ;-;

Yo, PRX had a decent run in one tournament... that doesn't make them miles better than every team at Champions. Is it so surprising they got grouped when they were up against Leviatan and Liquid, two teams which have insane talent?

What people fail to understand is that every team and every region is very close. Teams that are on a roll and feeling it have a very decent shot at winning... Liquid might actually win Champions after having been written off by 99% of vlr, every professional analyst, imagine. FPX might get grouped... Valorant esports is very close, the margins are tiny, and you cannot judge a single team by one or even two Masters runs.

The only team which has demonstrated impressive consistency is Optic. Liquid actually hasn't been bad either if you judge their entire tournament history (they're generally always in the mix at the big events).

tl;dr - team form will rise and dip, you need to judge their performance over months/years, which we've barely had in Valorant esports yet.

When did I say that they were miles away? I know that every region is very close, I'm just sad that PRX is gone because I was a fan of them. And I just think it's surprising how the curse manages to happen basically every single time.

I saw all the PRX players soaked wet on such a hot and sunny day. I asked why are they wet when it was not raining. They said "We are so washed that even the sun couldn't dry us"

Paper Rex can't win any trophies outside of APAC anymore, everyone caught up to their "no strat w gaming" playstyle. They are predictable as any other team now. Even Gen.G got their first trophy first and it shows how much Paper Rex needs to catch up
