They are unrivaled in the APAC scene, and have been for quite a while. and many folks thought they wouldn’t make it due to financing. So it really is relieving to see them making it through
It does prove the point that riot care about things other than money in franchising too. Unless they’re merging with Bleed to start Bleed PRX or something
The issue is, PRX is a much newer org and honestly glad that they made it, even though their announcement video was targeting the individuals who thought they would not make it because of how small the org is and how deep their reserves go, their fanbase and content talent has maybe caught the attention of Riot.
They know how to spend the little money they have, hire a good content team, have a good roster, get a decent enough BootCamp etc.
Compare that to Bleed who has too much money and honestly doesn't know how to handle it. Even with 50M they could not set up a content team, they have a beautiful BootCamp but the only glimpses we saw were from when GE visited them and just wasted money everywhere.
TLDR: Compared to a lot of other orgs in Asia, PRX is much newer, does not have boat loads of money and does not even have any teams other than valorant.
Compare PRX to some other orgs that got in - T1 and GenG, goliaths in the esports scene successful LoL rosters huge in other games as well, investing in NA(imagine) TS who is huge in Philippines and a big name in Dota, GE who has had CSGO male and female rosters PUBGM and valorant rosters which have been successful and all of them have very stable financials.
I think PRX def scored less points over on that side but made up for that with their resource management and fan base. Probably the first SEA org to have so many fans outside of SEA.
