PRX (Pacific) beat EG (America) first to reach grand finals in champions 2023 https://www.vlr.gg/event/1657/valorant-champions-2023/playoffs then EG 3-1 them in a best of 5 in grand finals. Geng are good but first to grand finals is a disadvantage.

It's a mental thing. Complacency for the grand finalist. I noticed it in the SEN vs GENG match. Meanwhile SEN were coming in hot they know their road is harder.
This is where fans should appreciate the resiliency and mental fortitude of SEN not just the aim or strats.
JohnQT said they didn't care either way about the 2 map bans that GENG had and that's saying confidence.
Lotus and Sunset were their best maps undoubtedly (after Upper FInals), I got worried cuz in swiss stage they had map pools that heavily favored sen, this was the 1st time they had a truly unfavorable map pool against them and were some resilient mfs. Them beating Gen G on Split was insane considering they lost to them before badly (some ppl thought it may've been a fluke) and losing in a similar fashion to PRX. Also I wanna say this was their first win on Icebox ever as a team?
