  • Find an assistant mental coach that helps them keep composure during tense rounds.
  • Get more discipline on peeking together instead of 1 by 1 to avoid throws
  • Work more on Macro plays
  • Change the "let's just have fun/troll" to a "let's go win" mentality

Tbf I don't think any coach would call out a bad play of a player in public like that. Especially after elimination. But he should have spoken about over peaking before the series. If he didn't before. Then after map 1. Surely after map 2 also and if the players still didn't listen, at that point diband.

yeah, I didn't like to see that, hopefully internally he's critical of the performance or else PRX are doomed

I feel like Alecks only said it was fine because something was obviously so depressed from the loss. Deep down he knows there were at least 15 different ways to play that 2v1 correctly.

there's a time and place for alecks to critique them and that is during the vod review. he probably doesn't wanna rub salt in the wound right now

If they change the mentality, it will no longer be the paper rex we know

they lose the brand, the org chooses the playstyle and their popularity over the trophy.

I disagree, they just need to have more drive to win, they can still have fun and troll, but the desire to win need to be big

Yeah composure will be massive for Paper Rex, at the moment they're too impulsive. I mean look at round 19 (9-9 score line) on sunset. Forsaken basically blind ults the site with no info and gameplan on what happens next. At least let the rotaters close in on site before ulting. There's always the little things that Paper Rex need to fix when playing in international tournaments.

honestly after this tourney i think its coaching issue this team is sol talented its actually dumb but everytime i look at there game play it looks like there a tier 2 team who doesn't have a coach but they shoot like they have multiple champion ships

Theory: i think the org doesn't allow alecks to coach them to be correct and is forcing them to have weird comps(in previous years there comps were weird but they actually had some good ideas with em) since its a part of there brand prx run it down and have weird comps

I think they can still keep the playstyle of aggressive push, but it should be varied with calm and collected gameplay so that the enemy won't expect what they do. I see way too many rounds lost simply because PRX failed to "control" the pace of the round with their pace and then started to blunder. I think they also need more and better strategies for attack. They always push and rush and if that didn't succeed, they rotate and do the same. One thing I also notice is something always overpeeks and loses the duel after he makes a fancy play. We can see on FNC that Derke also has the same playstyle but Boaster always reminds him to play smart. In PRX, there's no one to make that call. Maybe there is but it's either too late or they are already in a bad position and one by one they crumble.

  • new strats. i still want them to keep the aggressive w gaming playstyle because that is what they're good at and they're known to be unpredictable but now everyone can read them and just anti strat them. they need to be creative even more.
  • change comp. they can try to be ahead of the meta i guess.
  • map pool. bind and lotus used to be one of their strongest map but they fell off. they need a comp that caters both attack and defense. right now only sunset is their best consistent map.
  • it's time to have an igl. someone who can discipline the team in game to prevent mistakes like overpeeking/ peeking alone, overpushing, postplant errors etc.. at the same time that someone must be able to control the team's emotions. prx wins and is more scary when they have fun so they need someone to keep the synergy at all times. and i personally believe davai a.k.a david has what it takes. then forsaken can be a second igl for his good calls.
  • hire an assistant coach that will act as a mental coach to calm alecks as he sit beside the coach's desk and to help the players overcome the pressure.

it's a player issue, you cant change how they play, they are ranked demons, this is what makes them different/throw

Change that W gaming to underexpected W gaming like Gen.G, play aggresive to get 1st kill and then cut noise, ready to set up, trade and W gaming again
Unlike this horrible W

Facts, it's how they play., ranked demons style. impulsive, can't control their aggression. All they had to do is run the time down for some of the rounds they lost. Could be a combination of ego too.
