Why do some of the teams who normally do well (e.g. PRX, FNC) start the year a lil shaky? They do well at the end of the year before and then don't look as good the beginning of the next.
Is there a reason for this? Do they take some time to adjust to new metas or fall out of the rhythm or something? Just wondering if anyone has any ideas :)

Happy Birthday! Good luck for today's match :)

Do you mind me asking why you have a grudge against them getting invy? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just genuniely want to know why :)

Firstly wanna say ggs! to RRQ and I definitely am not taking away from their win!

Last year PRX and GENG came 1st-3rd every VCT Pacific event and were definitely the dominant teams. And now, they still did good but there seems to be more questions around them / they don't seem to be as obvious the leaders of APAC.

I was just wondering if y'all had any thoughts on if this is due to PRX and GENG maybe slipping a lil and not looking as dominant (again don't wanna take away from them, they still did really well!) Or are the other teams in the region stepping up and making it even more competitive than than last year? Just wondering the general consensus.

Edit: I guess I'm asking, do you all think this region is so competitive and it's close because PRX/GENG are maybe not looking as good as last year or is it because the other teams have improved?

Ah okay thanks!

Ahh I see, thank you!

I've done my pickems but I've noticed that for the Lower Round 3 matches my choices are switched compared to what the matches actually are. For example, I put Loud would lose Upper Semi-finals to Sentinels (which they did) but then my pickems put them in the top box of Lower Round 3 rather than the bottom box which is what they're actually in. Has this happened to anyone else / does anyone know why that happened?

I know in an interview the other day Alecks said the team (particularly f0rsakeN) have been playing different to allow Jinggg to get his confidence back. And he said that after this event, they're gonna try to go back to how they were before. So hopefully that can help.

I'm not from APAC (dunno if it makes a difference) but personally I quite like GENG so I'd be happy for them to win. I think it would be nice to see APAC win even if it's not PRX.
