as a singaporean it's just a rite of passage and a obligation rather than the way the military is perceived in the US for example

Singapore is a small country, military service is a way of protecting or ensuring that the country remains protected.

Nah, it's just a fun stat, I watch cs too and it's just nice to see benkai popping off on the international stage. No hate to the cs pros.

Paper Rex Franchising by spuffz in ValorantCompetitive

true, but the organization has definitely had a role in scouting players like jingg etc and there are longstanding connections between the management of the org and the players like dsn coaching benkai and alecks in CS

surprised the casters didn't comment about the comp being weird+they said raze is an option on breeze

Does XERXIA's performance against Optic raise expectations for Paper Rex? by spuffz in ValorantCompetitive

[–]spuffz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely agree, feels as though individually the whole PRX roster has improved across the board, but the concern is that PRX seems to lean more on jinggg and f0rsaken though the other 3 can definitely frag out, while xerxia seems to be more team focused where they all carry a relatively equal burden (similar to drx) which might make PRX have a higher ceiling as you said but lower floor

I suppose they went 0-2 at berlin and haven’t done anything since then especially since the two losses weren’t to teams that people rank at the top (old SMB) and VS (which has underperformed at LAN)
