M3C got fucked by shit schedule and political circumstances, FPX 1st seeded but same reason so they wasn't able to be here. Fnatic got fucked and had to play with 2 subs.
I think they struggle with pace. EMEA teams typically don't hit the jets and usually play the utility game. LOUD besides being mechanically gifted, play faster pace than most EU teams. PRX has the W key glued down and you can't convince me otherwise.
It's the same reason the Guard lost to PRX imo, EMEA and NA don't prepare you for that pace.
Every other region came in here to topple the EMEA giant as well. Korea, Brazil, and Japan made super teams. NA teams started to compete at a level at which you couldn't just coast to internationals anymore. And APAC is doing whatever the hell APAC is doing. Gonna be honest PRX, you're weirder than Team Liquid.
