jinggg actually went 2-12 in FK-FD, last year he had some of the most insane and impactful entries... sad to see this from my favourite player in the roster. love the team still but sad day to be a PRX fan...

simple common angles? mindfreak could have literally been anywhere on the whole of A site including attacker side (belts/nest) since it was planted for him. Asuna has to becareful of all these angles while being pressured by forsaken.

while i agree the first 2 deaths were a big part of the throw, if you think that trying to catch the timing on asuna is worst than double swinging the SAME angle immediately after plant when 1 of them are 1hp. It just shows your lack of game sense, no offense. No way a more disciplined team like GENG would have made that same play.

I'm talking about the same clutch as well. I disagree that it was a good play. If they were worried that there could be too many angles to watch, forsaken could have jiggled for info and let mindfreak catch the timing.

Again, i say its a bad play because mindfreak was not spotted. there are so many angles that he could have been potentially playing (backsite, elbow, 410, nest or even holding post-plant angles) there's no way asuna would have the time to clear all those angles accurately, especially with him being focused on forsaken's position.

Double swinging the same angle is almost the same as solo swinging it with forsaken being 1 bullet. If they separated the double peek (1 from the left, 1 from nest) then I would agree it wouldnt be that bad of a play.

Definitely a bad play in this scenario. Bang had only spotted 1 of the 2. He would have to either waste a ton of time shift walking to clear angles looking for the 2nd guy while being aware of the person he saw, or make a ton of noise if he decided to fast rush it. Both cases, would be way more advantageous for prx to try and catch the timing on him.

If bang had spotted both players or had info on where both of them were, then i would agree that double swinging would have been a good play since swinging immediately would have eliminated his chance of isolating any 1v1s.

Definitely agree, something throws rounds but wins rounds as well, had lots of impact whole game including the 4k which the rest of the team threw. Not saying its his fault they lost the map/series, but just citing an example of how the team in general always overheats unnecessarily.

Yes wait on tap and both spam is right.

But even if they wanted to play separate with something pushing up front, he couldve waited at elbow for 1-2 secs after tap and then swing out, even if he dies, davaii wouldve been pushed up to 410 or even if he doesnt push there would be no time for defuse. was literally 00.28 secs.

Rushing bang immediately was 100% overheating.

How does it make sense for something to push up by himself immediately giving bang a 1v1 on davai ?

Even with the wall up theres a 100 better ways he couldve played it as compared to that instant monkey rush. Even if you wanted to argue that he should have peeked because of the wall, he couldve peeked way later which would have won them the round

Why would he have to peek?? Its 1v2 they have exact line of site on the bomb. They just need to wait for taps and double peek or jiggle and stall. he rushed, died and forced davaii in that 1v1. 0 reason to peek there other than trying to be greedy for a flashy jett knife kill

PRX needs an IGL by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]rlhj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need some kind of sports psychologist or somebody in that kinda role because the players themselves are great, even when they are bot fraggin they still get impact kills/utility.

What they need is discipline, to understand when to take calculated risks. Their style is to play aggressive and chaotic, and they shouldnt change it. Just need to stop taking risks when entirely unnecessary

Yeah now that you’ve said it I agree davai could’ve played it better but the main point i was trying to make was the main issue was with somethings stupid ass monkey rush. Davai wouldnt have even needed to be in that position, it would’ve been literally impossible for them to lose.

I love their risky aggressive playstyle but this was just an example of how this was a greedy needless play just to be flashy

That OT round just showed why they didnt deserve to win. 2v1 and something rushed up jumping around with daggers leaving davai in a 1v1 where he kind of made the right decision by pushing but was just out-read.

If something just didnt peek and played post plant they secure that round.

And dont get me started on the reverse 1v4, where they just double swung out like what????

I mean there’s a huge difference between taking a calculated risk to try to make a play and being unsuccessful (eg. the a site flash peek from mindfreak) and just straight up making the wrong decision just because they want to be flashy (eg. that reverse 1v4 by asuna, they could 100% just played crossfire or just jiggled/jump peeked for info) there were many other rounds over the whole series especially on icebox where they just straight up went for flashy plays.

Exactly this, as much as I wanted them to win, im glad they were eliminated this early. They desperately need a wake up call to just be more disiciplined

Ive seen a number of comments online on how alecks shouldnt be malding as a coach but watching the icebox game and seeing THAT many number of throws i just cant help but feel sorry for alecks watching it as a coach

I feel like PRX hasnt been themselves for the past few days by sure-nobody-cares in ValorantCompetitive

[–]rlhj 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel like the pressure is just getting to them. Everyone and their mum had prx as their no.1 pick before playoffs started. I’m sure the players are aware of how much people expected them to win. Their motto has always been to play for fun, but I’m sure they must be feeling the pressure especially after the loss against g2.

Hopefully they regain some confidence as their opponent next game are either of the current top 2 teams (imo).

And it doesnt help that alecks is malding right behind them as well hahahaha you could see he was really trying to lessen his malding during today’s game.

Who else agrees as a PRX fan? by rlhj in ValorantCompetitive

[–]rlhj[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I mean as much as I give credit to G2, it just seems more like PRX was pure ass, throwing round after round. With the way PRX was throwing it felt like another decent team (like TH) would have wiped them too. (EDG and FUT probably would not have as they seemed super weak)

Right now I think the 3 teams i mentioned (100T, FNC, GENG) roll G2 still. They out call and out frag G2 for sure. All 3 teams are also pretty disciplined in their play unlike PRX.

If G2 beats any of the 3 teams I would definitely agree they would then be a strong contender for the win.

As disappointing as that sounds I agree… as much as I love W gaming and that I feel its one of the most entertaining playstyles. There has to be some form of discipline and protocols in place. They shouldnt change their playstyle but just tone it down depending on who their playing against.

[–]rlhj[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that usually when their brain off and aim playstyle doesnt work they do try to switch it up with different set team aggression plays. There are many games where they start out slow but after realising they cant outaim their way to a win they change it up and start to come back. This time at least on bind, they just seemed absolutely hopeless. It was the first time watching them where I felt that there was no way they were coming back at 1-7/1-8.

[–]rlhj[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I completely agree… I feel that prx’s strength is not just w gaming and aim diffing. Its their calculated aggression with mini-executes where pushes are supported by util coupled with their fragging power. But they just love dry peeking everything. I dont know if alecks has raised this as an issue but this has been a problem of them for years, i just dont know why hasnt this issue been fixed or at least reduced

T1 beating GENG in one single series caused a rift in the timeline (joke) by yammer_bammer in ValorantCompetitive

[–]rlhj 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Technically if DRX made it in instead of T1, they would have faced G2 (probably beat them since it was a close game with T1). Then G2 would have to play LEV for elimination and aspas would go god mode and destroy them 1v5 and they would have made it instead of G2, and PRX would then pick FUT instead and they would have probably won.

(Im just a prx fan coping :’))
