Did C9 play really well or were PRX just so bad?

I've just finished watching the vods and one thing I noticed is that C9 played fine, nothing out of the ordinary or special.
I wouldn't count Lotus as it's a new map and it was just deathmatch most of the time, but on Pearl they were overly agressive and almost threw some rounds with some bad decisions, except that PRX were way worse.
Maybe they just played risky and agressive because they're against PRX, if that's the case it slightly makes sense. But if not they should work on a couple of things, because DRX will definitely not troll or throw 99.9% of the rounds.

you could see some of the ideas C9 were going for

not sure what PRX was up to

Prx was just sloppy

nerf Oping yay 1 bullet 2 kill ,it disgusting
cannot resist at all

Both

C9 were prepared for Prx that they are going to pick Lotus and C9 lowkey aim diffed Prx

In the player conference PRX coach Alecks did say that practice had not been going well. Maybe they couldnt adjust to the new meta as well as C9 did

prx played bad like really bad (forsaken in pearl was a jett in an immortal lobby just no comm running it down) but c9 also had some really good ideas and rounds also people are failing to notice how impactful vanity's calling was during this game, hes mostly the reason they won but also xeppa and leaf just werent missing shots so thats kinda unlucky for prx but players like mindfreak, forsaken and jingg were overheating WAY too much I get that its their whole aggressive style but theres literally no reason to fight when ur up a player but they still do and mindfreak... idek bro, he was getting caught out with his knife WAY too often and jinggg was overall like the only person who could string prx some rounds but he made a lot of mistakes on pearl too, overall prx felt like they were a new roster somehow while c9 seemed cohesive and structured to a certain extent

both

probably 50/50

A little bit of both, but considering how PRX played last year it definitely fealt like PRX didn't have their typically cordinated aggression, it was more like a bunch of cracked radiants in a ranked game as they kept peaking and dieing one by one and to add to that we didn't get to see anything new from them

C9 was just reacting to PRX's playstyle that's why it didn't look any special. PRX looked extremely sloppy and indisciplined. The overall quality of the game is always going to be decided by how the worse team is playing. I personally felt C9 looked really strong individually and showcased great adaptability. Their team play was okay. The game vs DRX will give a much better idea IMO.

Leaf looked like a very good sentinal
Yay on sage sounded goofy but recently he has played slow/methodical agents unlike a traditional opper on Jett/Raze
Xeppaa looked promising on Skye
Vanity wasn't washed
Zellsis actually had a rough time on neon but took alot of space and baited himself for greater team opportunities
