yes they are the youngest team in avg age but PRX LOUD and DRX are just as young
less than 1 year diff in avg age
but all those 3 teams are already strong dang
If it was a 18 year old team against a 20 year old team, then it's fair enough. Same with 17 vs 18 year old team. Early experiences have huge return on experience, if the team is already above the ages of 19-20 or so, then they generally have a lessened return on experience, than earlier on. I mean when they are this young, experience is a fair excuse, at least it isn't MY MOUSE WASN'T WORKING, or MY DOG IN MINECRAFT DIED.
I mean, DRX played both in champs in berlin and VCTKR is mostly just LAN, which allows us to possibly keep drx out of this. As for prx and loud..well prx played matches in berlind. And two of loud's players were in VKS (played in last year's iceland and also champs). However I think the argument for prx and loud are kind of a reach. DRX definitely shouldn't be in this convo though
Loud's performance was also doubted for similar reasons. Having Sacy and Saadhak who've competed in a few LANs now helps them a lot, though.
DRX's core have played multiple LANs too.
The Guard has Saya who last played on LAN pretty recently! In fact, the entire Guard squad played on LAN at Fullerton - https://www.vlr.gg/60391/the-guard-vs-zero-marksmen-black-frag-valorant-major-fullerton-qf.
