It must be painful for him since he can't perform like he used to... Do you really think Paper Rex need to replace him with any other smoker? Who smoker might fits with Paper Rex gameplay?

Also, GG for both team. DRX looking really solid in this event, everyone really steps up. Hopefully mindfreak and Paper Rex can get back to their top performance too

People just thinking losing like that is one player's fault.
Yeah sure, mindfreak is not performing, but it's not like he's feeding or giving them rounds, the issue is bigger than one player the whole system is not working, and the something guy is not as good as people thought.

I agree, but mindfreak's poor performance was a big factor in why prx lost map 2. F0rsaken said that prx was a bit overthinking because they were afraid that drx would abuse the site guarded by mindfreak (which is b site) because he was in bad form.

Oh wow, unless mindfreak is going through some illness or personal rough time, i don't think talking about your teammate like that is good.

no mindfreak is too busy acting cool on stream pretending like zombs saying he doesnt care about valorant when in fact hes too cocky. any serious team would have released him after lock/in. Franchising killing the game allowing these ambitionless players and teams go unpunished

at this point get X10 Wayne or KZ Flaring on PRX they doing well in vcl , get someone young emerging and hungry to succeed, thats how loud lose 2 main players and find the perfect talents to replace them, watching mindfreak play actually giving me depression

they didnt get nephh or Styron while they had chance. Something pickup is okay bt not solving their real defense issue
Wayne perform well in split 1 and i hoping he does okay in split 2 too
PRX js kinda stuck with this roster for now. Even if we manage 2 qual we gna get smacking at Tokyo

Qualifying for Tokyo would paper over the cracks, they have some serious issues from the coaching and stuff, what kind of franchised org doesnt have performance coach, analyst team. They need to start taking it serious the org looks happy to be 4th/5th and just take Riots money every year and living off the hype from Copenhagen last year which makes some of the delusional fans still think that they're one of the best teams in the world. Needs major changes from org level

Bleed spent a million on sScary's buyout they would ask for more than a million because hes closest to mako in APAC region

He's just unbelievably good, I understand his decision for higher salary for his family ,it just pains me to see that no one in this entire region is anywhere close to MaKo. The teams with the best smokers are the ones that will qual

Paper Rex won't do buyout for sure. I think they will keep mindfreak or bench mindfreak or change someone's role again hm

Nah they won't do anything. They're too scared to offend their sensitive fans and to make big decisions to actually improve the team. They are a small org and are happy to be a mid team as long as Riot keeps paying them the big money every year in franchise. This is why I hate franchising because teams like KC can get away with just full trolling meanwhile hard working teams in T2 that deserve to be at the highest stage will not have it easier

Indo fans are like normal sports fans, they are right to criticise when needed, but some of these sg/my fans on twitter are genuinely embarassing. too overprotective of players that earn hella money. Its an entertainment industry, without criticism the standard is going to drop and drop and drop. Unfortunately PRX is run like that they would rather accept mediocrity than to make needed changes to the org

blaZek1ng and wayne seem like the most suitable potential replacements for mindfreak if he keeps having these poor performances IMO. Obviously having sScary in Paper Rex would be huge too, but considering how he's doing on BLEED + how much his buyout would likely cost I feel like it would be very hard to get him

edit: somehow mixed up wayne with someone else LMAO mb

Any smart team would try to target the weak link. Mindfreak had a bad game 2 and felt like could keep up with the lobby in terms of just aiming and trading.

Benkai can play smokes but if they did just that they gon lose a good initiator like benkai. Now you see why people shy away signing more than one duelists because of role issues like this.
