Where is Korea VCT???? Literally 0 info besides one confusing post on their instagram
Felt like CR didn't have the game plan that could improve over time and exp in 2021. While Zeta has crazy strats, mental buffs, eco plans, and a great IGl who understands the game with a staff that tries everything to antistrat.
Balla said that Zeta were the best team in Iceland and it was their map pool that were weak, which I agree with
I can agree with that last part, huge blunder to pick Fracture into OpTic for your first map pick.
For PRX, I think ZETA were always going to win, just because PRX's game style heavily punishes unprepared teams that can't adapt midgame, something that G2 has due to regional differences and Guard due to inexperience (and if it happens I think Guard will win a rematch).
I can't really say for sure if DRX lost just because ZETA antistratted them because while ZETA were the only team to win a DRX postplant round, DRX surely had a fucked mental after the OpTic loss the day before.
I mean maybe, yeah. I've said it a hundred times though that PRX feels like the gatekeeper team. Any team that has good adaptability will be able to beat PRX, but teams that are unprepared or inexperienced or lack that ability to be flexible will get rolled. That's why DRX beat them, and I think teams like OpTic would have beaten them too.
To me DRX is the only team that can consistently beat them due to both experience and playstyle. I think Optic could too if they did a lot of prep. However, from what I've watched I wonder if the way EU teams play is going to be able to beat PRX. They always play slow and PRX just gets so much control and they eventually just start bashing their heads into a wall against f0rsaken's op.
