random prx rant

as a prx fan, this year has been absolute shite but I still love this team and do not want anyone (even j0ngg) to get dropped
I just feel like a few changes in the structure and agent comps can definitely help this team succeed.

  1. W Gaming can still work but a certain j0ngg and s0mething needs to stop pressing W after they get first blood, especially j0ngg. When he gets first blood, bro just keeps pressing W and dies alone. What he needs to do is to have the initiative and just tell the rest of his team to peek WITH him together. Again I have no hate to jinggg and I love his personality but his overheats just cost prx so many rounds

  2. Obvious agent comp changes, j0ngg will become jingg again if he expands his agent pool into sentinels, and also this is the coaching staff's fault as well for sticking into weird team comps that DOES work for prx, but it won't get you far in a Bo5 grand final because your agent pool is so limited due to jingg, which leads davai and forsaken having to fill in the other roles. They need to play more standard meta comps if they wanna have a chance of winning something. For this to work, jingg needs to grind the offseason with sentinels and learn to not overheat and overpeek when playing these agents.

  3. IGL: They need a dedicated fixed IGL and imo davai is the perfect candidate for that. He has the calmest aim, oldest player on the team, most consistent player, and he always doubles down on his team's discipline when they lose.

Here are my some suggestions for some maps (with the current map pool)

Sunset:
Honestly, They only lost it a few times and it was their best map, their current comp is fine, but I prefer some changes

  • Jingg: Raze obv
  • f0rsaken: Breach
  • something: Gekko
  • mf: omen
  • davai: Sage but preferably cypher is better

Ascent:

  • Jingg: Killjoy
  • f0rsaken: sova
  • something: jett
  • mf: omen
  • davai: kayo

Lotus:
Now lotus gets tricky because holy shit they still pick jett here which is just not that good, playing double duelist on lotus means you won't have a sentinel OR you only run 1 initiator which is just weak asf.

  • Jingg: Raze
  • f0rsaken: cypher or KJ (kj is way better here)
  • something: breach
  • mf: omen
  • davai: fade

Bind:
Their current bind comp is fine actually and it's pretty good.

  • Jingg: raze
  • f0rsaken: fade
  • something: gekko
  • mf: brimstone
  • davai: fade

Icebox:
Their icebox has been so hit or miss, it's a literal cointoss, and having double sentinel on attack is just so weak, having an extra initiator will help:

  • Jingg: killjoy
  • f0rsaken: sova
  • something: jett
  • mf: viper
  • davai: kayo

Haven:
haven has been prx's worst map due to the fact that jingg can only play reyna or iso here and it's just so fuckin bad

  • Jingg: killjoy
  • f0rsaken: sova
  • something: jett
  • mf: omen
  • davai: breach

Now abyss should probably have the same comp as haven but with jingg on cypher instead

you don't know that, noone knows that
sure it's possible that prx plays standard meta comps and teams just stomp them
but we've never actually seen them play standard that much, their most normal comp is the one on bind vs fut and they destroyed them

I think PRX needs a clear captain/leader because alecks is not cutting it when he calls timeouts to calm them down and not to change their strats

don't care if they gonna drop anyone but for the sake of my sanity, i won't be watching no more PRX games if they still not going to fix their bad habits of throwing advantages, overheating, individualistic playstyle.

i think jingg should actually learn flash initiators so him and smth can just role swap easily, forsaken and davai can play anything anyway

I like the thought of process of these comps but I have a few ideas, if you don't mind:

  • On Lotus I kinda wanna have f0rsakeN on Fade and d4v41 on Killjoy so that f0rsakeN and Jinggg are playing together
  • Also on Lotus we can probably have something play Gekko instead of Breach, but that just comes down to whichever he's more comfortable with I think
  • On Bind I'd rather have d4v41 playing Viper instead of Fade (I'm assuming you meant to have him on Viper but I thought I'd point it out anyway)
  • On Icebox I think the G2 comp would work better for them; put something on Gekko, d4v41 on Sova, and f0rsakeN on Harbor
  • On Haven they could probably run Jinggg on Neon, something on Gekko, and d4v41 on sentinel

Good stuff though, I like what you're cooking

on your haven comp it's possible, Jingg is good at neon but he's not consistently great like aspas zekken and kangkang. He needs to get better. For haven I think breach is just way better since he's better for clearing corners, stopping the plant, haven has alot of narrow corridors so the stun is so much better

yeah the bind one was a typoe for me
on icebox, that can work too, but Imo i value kayo's knife and flashes more. Harbor is good too though, and can cut off OP lines

Oh sorry I forgot to put this part in: f0rsakeN would play Breach

Neon - Jinggg
Gekko - something
Breach - f0rsakeN
Omen - mindfreak
Cypher/Killjoy - d4v41

But yeah, Jinggg's Neon definitely needs a bit of work. It's not exactly best-in-the-world material as-is

Alecks is a great coach
he knows what is he doing and I trust him to do well with this team in 2025
(but damn they should not have let go of monyet mannn 😭, js have him as 6th man or smthg)

why does jinggg have such a shitty map pool as a professional you should be able to learn new roles to a decent level, I don't think there's many players as limited as him

hot take: mindfreak to be the IGL.

I've seen many PRX vlog where he keeps getting annoyed at the team inability to do structured play. One of the things he said was:

"I'm the behind guy, I can't place the smoke if you don't pick a site to choose where you wanted to go etc".

Put mindfreak as the IGL, let him make the call, there will be a moment where his teammate will be forced to obey him instead of playing loose with hivemind mindset etc.
