why are prx favourites in this? like are we downplaying th because they lost against fnatic? they still have the firepower to beat teams and with enough time they will
triileaf [#5]virgin miniboo will shit himself against chad patmen
th did well even with miniboo shitting the bed last year, plus he's not even that bad, just got shit on by kaajak (probs top 5-10 itw)

team heretics first international vs prx's 7th 8th, we saw how the next two tournaments went for both the teams

the way monyet was giving it after the game was elite
SENfns [#6]because heretics hasnt won against prx historically (twice)
and minip00 being a onetrick neon is worse than something being a one trick jett
at madrid they lost beacuse it's their first international event
we'll see soon who's gonna choke harder, prx or th

- Reactionary Bias
- Very big meta shift in favor of PRX
- Sunset is a VERY good map for them (also was for heretics but they struggled a lot at the end of last year)
- Would be funny
- Honestly seeing this team go on a run is the revitalization this game needs
honestly the most exciting and fun game of the first round, thats all i can say

its not reactionary bias its just paper rex has beat them every time they've played against each other which fair enough is only twice but its an objective take.

Yeah, okay, but watch this!

but hey take it from asscrackbandit instead of me guys he knows a whole lot about this game

last year masters is not ages ago in a game that has as little internationals as valorant
luminescience [#15]Yeah, okay, but watch this!
the only reason prx won that game is because monyet and something were fueled by rage and hatred
now the rage monster is replaced by jinggg
SENfns [#22]last year masters is not ages ago in a game that has as little internationals as valorant
point still stand. madrid didnt have wo0t or jinggg or patmen

Two times is a tiny sample space especially when one is an off-season game with a completely different roster.
termtermtermterm [#26]point still stand. madrid didnt have wo0t or jinggg or patmen
ok so heretics got 1 upgrade
paper rex got 2 upgrades
now think OBJECTIVELY which has a better chance at winning

ok but the other time was last year and it was a very convincing win

so heretics coming second and confidently looking like one of the best teams in the world up until today, or PRX who barely got into playoffs and resorted to using insider sources like sliggy and mini and still only got third regionaly.
gee which one seems better

No woot and it wasn't very convincing

in completely different regions which arguably have very differing playstyles
kingofskibidi [#33]No woot and it wasn't very convincing
just because it was 2-1 doesnt mean it wasnt convincing lmfao
they got sat down in map 3 13-7
but alas thats enough arguing with emea copers

prx looks good because mini helped them (as i heard from his chat, he consulting them)
they're nothing without someone's help
hinahinaa [#37]prx looks good because mini helped them (as i heard from his chat, he consulting them)

(both teams are trash, idk who's gonna win. but i randomly choose th instead of prx)
horrible takes
SENfns [#34]in completely different regions which arguably have very differing playstyles
the question asks why would prx be the favorites: their accolades in comparison to TH this year have been far behind, regardless of region(not to mention how majority of comparison can be done without encompassing the entirety of a region but I digress), and they simply just dont seem to be as stable. I mean both teams lost BO5's today. But I had much more faith in TH winning than PRX, and DRX didnt even make toronto.
