i feel like wat mindfreak said is true, prx kinda lost their identity since champs 2023 and its kinda sad to see the core of wgaming just disolving slowly. what alecks said as well, where they got too discipline and are just waiting for others to do smth on the map instead of taking charge themselves. due to all the pressure in shanghai, they listened to all the comments abt discipline, abt bad map pool, abt needing a 2nd coach. now theyve done all that and plays veryyyy safe, it didnt feel like every game was a rollercoaster anymore and i dont get the same joy and hype from the games. maybe its the fear and mindset that they dont want to fk up again so that they wont get the backlash from everyone like they did in shanghai when everyone expected them to win but complained when they didnt.

really bad map pool for them as well, especially for BO5s, their only strong maps i wld say are sunset and lotus. hope they come up wif new ideas to tackle the weaker maps though. abyss 1st time, not too sure.

i understand that they need to adapt and the things said were real issues that need to be fixed. but i think it has pressured them too much and weakend their mindset now, hope they get back in form.

still a prx supporter all the way but it has been a heartbreaking year </3

[aki_raka]

they're trying to fix their in-game discipline, getting better but won't be an easy fix. Looking forward to champs

[ttoo]

I think what happened yesterday is a combination of many factors. 1. their weak map pool as we all know. 2. Drx players popped off and gained lots of confidence on their side. 3. After Drx popping off Prx kinda lost confidence. Prx seemed genuinely confused and didn't sure what to do next and then got aim diffed eventually. Lastly, the limitation of comp since not all players cant play the comp that has been a try and true on a map like ascent and haven. We all noticed that the pressure got to them. When they stop having fun its when we fans knew its kinda done. Love you guys still but it hurts ngl😞😢.

i love prx but they need to do something with the team work and agents. Jing can't play every new game on a duolist, he just gets tired. Why not let him play Clov on Ascent, he is good at playing other agents too. Ilya and Jason should also start opening sites, not just him. Their tactics with Raze have long been learned over all the years of the game

[vypervfx]

map pool is bad their star players have no agent pool, no dedictaed duelist, ik this is the real prx but after 2-3 years they have to play with more util and better comps

[wltaloof]

Honestly, I wish questions asked were a little more loaded. It gives a little more drama, and makes it interesting and a reason to watch these interviews.

[Yummynova]

Funny how people just decide to pick on this team all the time.

They play their game, you bully them. The listen to the community, you still bully them.

If you are a true supporter of competitive sports and this is not because I am a supporter of PRX, just let them be. Competitive teams win and lose all the time. It's fine to comment, everyone can have opinions but have some etiquette too and don't bully them.

Don't forget, they still made champs too right..

[NatsumiHoshino]

I believe prx will figure something out and bring better performance on champions. support and respect all decisions they make.

have faith in them, no matter what's the result, will still support you guys !! <3

[gggggggggghhhhoost]

Imo one of PRX strength is the fast adaptation of strategy and meta. With how riot seems to be screwing over agents like raze, Jingg wasn't as fast with the satchel anymore. They are forced to not use raze and adapt faster where other teams are pretty comfortable with common meta comps

[corvussy]

It is so sad that people pressuring paper rex rn, burden them with the hope of bringing back trophy. They join here for fun, now since W gaming slowly eradicating. Paper Rex will lose their personality.

[rahmanauf]

BRO BUZZ IS SO STRONG WHEN ITS LATE GAME (LIKE MAP 4&5) . LITTERALLY LATE GAME PLAYER

[andrewtan]

Why noboy ask jinggg what happened to him on the 3rd map until the end

[frost]

Its alright atleast you are qualified fir chamos. Pleae bring the champions trophy to pacific. And also to those Team Skibiddi fans that are bashing at live chat keep coping your team did not qualify.

[iscoute]

But sice everyone is fighting and g2 looks very good especially fnatic, They have no excuse to use especially vct champions Seoul is near, It's like "now or never".

Kinda sad if next year there is huge roster change but if it's what it takes to make prx better then let it be

[cherryburger]

i want to see 2023 prx in seoul champs

[jooniekim]

they do have bad map pool..not playing any sentinel agent on ascent and haven make their game even more harder..only davai n forsaken can play sentinel agent so, they really need jj or smth widen their agent to help the flex member..having double duelist in certain map doest work anymore.. wish all the best for the champs, for now just hoping they pass to playoffs

[architecthyde]

Jinggg is one trick raze, monyet would be better pick because he can play many agents and team comps can be more creative

[Raphael_]

Riot:ok, we will ban sunset next split and let breeze out forever to nerf FFgaming
goodbye, p0x

[harithsilver]

I think prx can play 6 man roster to replace jinggg on map that he bad at like ascent, haven, bind and maybe icebox

And let jinggg play on sunset, lotus, abyss and maybe icebox

I feels like even after champs on off season i dont think jingg can easily change role and add an agent and his pools i think the easier solution is 6man roster just to play on map that prx always been bad at

[milkboy]

No hate on prx, just genuinely asking, if they dont perform well on champs, is it the time to make changes on the roster, but I dont know who to replace? 😢
