It's the guards first lan as in the whole team, not just 1 player. People handle it differently but in the end paper rex handled it better and performed better.
To be honest, Guard was just not prepared for PRX's hyper aggressive style of gameplay. I don't recall any other NA team having a similar playstyle to APAC which made The Guard uncomfortable and unfamiliar to adapt to.
The Guard are legitimate LAN and International Rookies, they either would go all the way or bomb out early. Can't really jump on their case too much for that.
they lost because they had a comeback in yesterday's optic gaming match, if yesterday's match was won, it wouldn't have been eliminated so early and the first playoff match should not have been Na vs Na bad system
