Now I don't think that they will be winning any playoffs, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make it to Toronto, but people are talking about them as if they will be a free champions point for teams like t1 or drx.
The 1-13 vs DFM is a pretty significant loss, but their other loss vs T1 (the masters winner if you weren't aware) was extremely close. I think that PRX has huge potential to "upset" the teams higher up in the league, and nobody should be surprised if they suddenly 2-0 DRX and GenG (and immediately follow it up by losing to boom esports).
Now that they are actually making roster changes, PRX can't be easily dismissed.
