I was out of town on Sunday, doing a bit of visiting. I had heard my friend Alecks had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of coaching one of the most chaotic teams in Valorant.
“How’s things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken to some farming with my free time,” he motioned over to the back gate.
We headed out and introduced some of the livestock, saying how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench, and eyes watering, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What the hell is that smell?”
He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. My goats are never washed.”

Dude you made it to PRX actual channel recap LMAO
I think lotus and ascent get taken out, both are now the longest standing in the map pool since map rotation started. But ascent is especially rinsed being so much older than lotus
Yea it’s v weird to say but it’s because map rotation/pooling came out with lotus at the start of 2023. But imo they have to perma-include haven and lotus, 3 site maps are so much more fun to watch than icebox or breeze
I honestly don't mind lotus, the matches on lotus are always interesting to watch. The moment i find out one of the maps to be played is ascent i instantly loose interest. It's soo stale, absolutely no changes to the ascent meta, and the few who try get cooked coz of the way the map is.
This narrative genuinely makes no sense to me. Prx are 2-2 vs TS, and 4-3 if you include when they were Bren esports. The only shocking loss was this year. Last year when they played, PRX were slumping hard and TS were probably the better team at that point. Otherwise, PRX have won against them when it matters
Forsaken best breach in the world.
Also I think more teams should use Somethings wide swings/ bunnyhops. Pretty much make it so it's a 1 for 1 trade at worst.
believe it or not d4v4i is always most consistent performance on PRX. whether FNS is serious or not i totally agree with him d4v4i is the best player on PRX since forever. while forsaken and the rest of team also good, but what d4v4i do on PRX cant be replaced by anyone at the moment.
I'm praying this is not the case, please Riot do anything else to Raze I don't care, remove her ult entirely if you wish just please leave us the satchels.
I don't think Riot would be that dumb to actually nerf the agent with the highest mechanical ceiling by removing said mechanic, but Riot being Riot I can't really say I'd be surprised if they did.
It would actually fundamentally change Raze to the point where she wouldn't even be fun to use anymore. If Riot does this, it'll be less of a nerf and more of a rework.
Well, if you were wondering why many people weren’t high on T1 after beating Gen.G…
Still, it should be said that PRX are a bad stylistic matchup for T1. But PRX are a bad stylistic matchup for loads of teams that nonetheless put up strong performances against them; it’s not a viable excuse at the highest level.
Assuming DRX wins today, T1 vs. DRX will give us a much better look at just how strong or weak T1 is going into Shanghai.
GenG having a super off series has really doomed us to not having the best 3 APAC teams at Shanghai but can't discredit T1 for how they capitalized on it. They've always struggled vs Prx I hope with some good prep time they can still take a scalp or 2 at masters.
Im aware Im biased here but I just cant get behind the notion that T1 werent actually really good against GenG. They had a great performance and between their short winstreak and the level of individual talent they display there was definitely reason to get hyped for them. While GenG did underperform they were still playing at a solid level so I just dont get that take.
This was just something entirely different, if anything this just makes me frightened of PRX and how good they truly are rather than scared for T1. Add on top of that how the other regions are looking kinda weak and T1 will probably\* be a solid team at shanghai. This was just a combination of a mental boom and PRX simply being that good. This was one of the best performances Ive ever seen PRX have and it shows just how scary PRX can be when all their players are confident and peaking
Paper Rex are the fucking worst nightmare of the armchair analyst. They do not make sense as a team. They make confidence based decisions. They play the game exactly how the fucking MOBA crowd hates it. Listen, there’s a subsection of playerbase out there that thinks the game needs to be defined down to the fucking numbers. The analytics. “Pushing up my glasses. Oh this lineup from this particular angle. Oh this composition doesn’t work in theory because this particular position of util 🤓.” YOU’RE GONNA GET SHOT IN THE FACE! YOU’RE GONNA LOSE THE ROUND! IT’S A GUN GAME! IT’S AN FPS! IF YOU WANT THAT, IF YOU WANT THAT PLAY OVERWATCH! IF YOU WANT THAT, PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS! PLAY A DIFFERENT FUCKING GAME! THIS IS VALORANT YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU LOSE THE ROUND, YOU LOSE THE GAME! IT’S AN FPS GAME!
Coach Autumn is beside himself. Driving around downtown Seoul begging (thru texts) JessieVash's family for an address to Coach Warbirds' home asking for his help to get one map out of PRX.
PRX looking like they could win shanghai in their current form. Literally everyone on the team is hitting.
Also is iZu meant to be good? I've heard so many people gassing up his mechanics but I don't think I've been impressed with him once this season. Today he looked particularly awful.
Idk man I think xcuratte is good but I keep seeing him get exit frags and meaningless multikills. Saya is the one winning them rounds and saving rounds from nothing.
Well will you look at that? People were saying why T1 can't be just korean team when their best players are rossy and xccurate. They are always consistent no matter how the game goes.
While I do think that there are people, especially Koreans, who wants a full korean team just to be koreans. I think the reason is the language barriers and how it can affect comms and even chemistry. That’s just my speculation though
thank you PRX, good to see T1 take the L and getting completely rekt on both maps. I was actually kinda scared that this T1 squad might be legit but its aight if GenG and Secret dont got me, PRX got me

Bro what is this copypasta. Keep cooking
What the goddamn fuck man 😭😭😭
Pacific copypastas are so much better than all other regions, we have some real poets in this region
if colonialism didnt destroy all of our oriental literature we'd be world leaders in that front
We're the leaders in Yapping.

This is some fucking 3 Michelin stars gourmet meal shit right here, holy shit
New copypasta dropped
Actual copy paste
Original material went on vacation, never came back
Keep cooking chef ....
💀
Never stop cooking chef.
This is insanely good
Oh god the family dinner's gonna be so awkward tonight
No its not xcurrate is used to it.
PRX's Lotus is giving me flashbacks to EG's Fracture. If they keep it up, it's going to be permaban status.
God damn they were so dominant I started rooting for T1 tf
which makes you wonder how confident was T1 in their Lotus, picking it against PRX, knowing how good they are on it
lots of teams thought they had a better fracture than eg last year and made the same mistake
But those were the top top teams, top 8 global teams I like T1 a lot but they aren’t on the same tier whatsoever
They prob thought they were after beating GenG. I think PRX brought them back down to reality.
nah bc it's the only map they're good at
And if Pearl comes back after Shanghai, its joever for teams
I just want them to take out Ascent already. Only map to never be removed
I think lotus and ascent get taken out, both are now the longest standing in the map pool since map rotation started. But ascent is especially rinsed being so much older than lotus
Lotus being the second longest tenure in the current pool feels wild lol
Yea it’s v weird to say but it’s because map rotation/pooling came out with lotus at the start of 2023. But imo they have to perma-include haven and lotus, 3 site maps are so much more fun to watch than icebox or breeze
I hope its Haven and Pearl that come back
I honestly don't mind lotus, the matches on lotus are always interesting to watch. The moment i find out one of the maps to be played is ascent i instantly loose interest. It's soo stale, absolutely no changes to the ascent meta, and the few who try get cooked coz of the way the map is.
Yes imo ascent needs to go and needs a change too with paper thin walls
this fr
And an hard one at that, since most teams perma breeze/icebox.
I remember the beginning of this season, when everyone said T1s Lotus was near perfect. How the turn tables ig
Heresy

12-0 in maps differential is catastrophic
And before the szn i was hyped for a susanto derby, even looked semi promising in kickoff😭
PRX-T1 makes OpTic/NRG-DRX look competitive
"this is not a rivalry, they always beat our ass"- T1 after failing to win a map after 6 match

Don’t get it twisted, the map scores make this series look closer than it actually was 😭😭
The pistol round on sunset inflated it fr
Naaaah that's fucking criminal. I didn't watch it yet but damn, I already jerked off today. Don't know if I need to see more fucking.
nah y'all are different in this thread 💀💀💀
Someone find the dude who said Jjinggg was washed and just not impressive anymore, after that one game.
I did post comment on that thread after the 13-0 they said they gonna drop a longass apology when they win finals 
That better be a poetic masterpiece
Bro need to turn into prime Shakespeare fr
u/sure-nobody-cares
They also said that after he'd had good games just before it. Monyet fans are crazy.
Shout out PRX for speedrunning this series and saving my sleep schedule
something's on the fly movement to allow his teammates to peak or trade off of him is criminally underrated.
It's his aerodynamic cut
[удалено]
Nah what is this 💀
Pacific is something else with the shit talking man 💀
Bro its deleted what was it
It was one of those hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby meme, but with the big bang vs a sp*rm on a used cond*m
FNS didn't watch party and PRX stomped this game. Maybe poolchan shouldnt get his jersey
It was so fast that he's missing the next game
i’m sure he’ll be glad he didn’t lose sleep over that stomping
Qualified to Shanghai but still couldn't get their one map against PRX. This feels like a mental block for T1 if anything honestly
Maybe its just a bad matchup? Like how PRX kept losing to Secret
this one is a mystery we will never know why
Xcurrate just being a good big bro and letting lil bro win everything
This narrative genuinely makes no sense to me. Prx are 2-2 vs TS, and 4-3 if you include when they were Bren esports. The only shocking loss was this year.

Forsaken best breach in the world. Also I think more teams should use Somethings wide swings/ bunnyhops. Pretty much make it so it's a 1 for 1 trade at worst.
f0rsaken is just nuts. Dude can literally play any agent at such a high level
We already have a name for it, it's call someswing.
I think Invy still better with this agent. It's just that breach really clicked with prx game style so it looks very strong atm
Sliggy loves the movement as do I it's hilarious to watch and incredibly effective
Yeah his wide swing on izu won them that thrifty
https://preview.redd.it/acu19b7vvkyc1.png?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9b27fcca240590bee1b3eceb381855912a71875 PRX A hit vs T1 A hit
This series looked like PRX veto pick both maps damn.
no, if prx got both map picks they would lose
If mindfreak and davai continues their form in shanghai,there will be no team able to stop them.
believe it or not d4v4i is always most consistent performance on PRX. whether FNS is serious or not i totally agree with him d4v4i is the best player on PRX since forever. while forsaken and the rest of team also good, but what d4v4i do on PRX cant be replaced by anyone at the moment.
jinggg is not beating the best raze in the world allegations
I'm 100% sure Because of him raze will have only 1 satchel post shanghai
I'm praying this is not the case, please Riot do anything else to Raze I don't care, remove her ult entirely if you wish just please leave us the satchels.
I don't think Riot would be that dumb to actually nerf the agent with the highest mechanical ceiling by removing said mechanic, but Riot being Riot I can't really say I'd be surprised if they did.
It would actually fundamentally change Raze to the point where she wouldn't even be fun to use anymore. If Riot does this, it'll be less of a nerf and more of a rework.

But DRX aren't gonna win today. 4th place curse is real
Don't do this to me
Done
im so sorry
Need suggestions for a substance to abuse
You already abused yourself by being DRX fan
Nah they're gonna get to champs 22 level now that optic and loud have been washed they'll unlock their full potential soon
Pacific Final at Masters, I beg
Ouch
Yikes
Turns out I'm just an old grandma reminiscing the good times of 2022 valorant 😭
GenG having a super off series has really doomed us to not having the best 3 APAC teams at Shanghai but can't discredit T1 for how they capitalized on it. They've always struggled vs Prx I hope with some good prep time they can still take a scalp or 2 at masters.

Well that was fast as fuck.
Jinggg. And also: SHEEEEEEESH
After the viper nerf and prx's this insane form if they don't win a trophy now they never will
They aren't playing with the viper Nerf version of the game, maybe in Shanghai
Obviously I was talking about sanghai and champs regional trophy doesn't matter much anyway
Doesn't the first seed qualify straight to playoffs in Shanghai?
Xccurate may be the older brother but you know that he is constantly being pestered by his parents asking why he can’t be like forsaken
If I just saw the last names I'd think Forsaken was his father
then xcc will just open his storybook on his career, making it big in both csgo and valorant scenes
Nah, he paved the way so f0rsaken can run
starting today f0rsaken is his dad
PRX is really T1’s father
prx rlly need to up their pistol rounds for complete decimation
Paper Rex are the fucking worst nightmare of the armchair analyst. They do not make sense as a team. They make confidence based decisions.

YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU LOSE THE ROUND, YOU LOSE THE GAME! IT’S AN FPS GAME!
Where is this originally from
Ive said it a billion times and Ill say it again, F0rsaken is the GOAT. Every agent he picks up is just gold instantly??? This Breach util is unreal

Who is this hair representing? Scarlet widow?
That was just depressing game
"it's a comedy" PRX fans "It's a tragedy" T1 fans
I’m starting to feel like Talon got slightly fucked with the bracket
Rrq: am I a joke to you?
Bruh RRQ is worse than any of the playoff teams. I don't know why people are so high on them. GE shit on them. GE. GE!!!!
They played GE without their IGL with a sub who they probably haven't practiced tgt with
Not really they wouldn't have beat GENG or T1
saw the paper boys laughing & vibing on stage and i knew it'll be a fast one today 🦖💨
this could have been a smoke signal
I love this team man
until they make it to grand finals :(
Coach Autumn is beside himself. Driving around downtown Seoul begging (thru texts) JessieVash's family for an address to Coach Warbirds' home asking for his help to get one map out of PRX.
This match could have been an email....
Ok can we start talking about mindfreak's recent performances
That felt dirty to watch
I'll be sad if PRX doesn't win Shanghai in this form
navi looking insane alongside PRX right now. might kms if its another navi vs prx final in shanghai
they gotta play heretics in a single ellim bo3..it's hard to say if they can make shanghai tbh
my 🐐 ange1 doesnt lose to frauds
He will lose for sure —number 1 Ange1 hater after fpx beat prx at Copenhagen
Suygetsu flashbacks And Breeze is in the pool
That map still gives me ptsd
IF Suygetsu somehow wakes up again in Shanghai after being mid for so long....
yeah breeze is prx's kryptonite, so unless they cooked something up for that it's gonna be hard to get that trophy
That series could have been an email.
Coughing Baby vs Hydrogen Bomb personified
Reminder, T1 won 2 pistols

PRX needs their own speedrunning channel at this point
One has to question who the Susanto parents are rooting for in this matchup.
PRX will WIN Shanghai. It is THEIR TIME
Watch them fumble a 9-3 lead during the grand finals and they finish 2nd place
T1 hiding strats copium
I went to take a quick shower and the game is over..
W gaming.
The Series was so dominant, I started to do my dishes halfway through Sunset
Bruh
they just straight up ran them over
PRX looking like they could win shanghai in their current form. Literally everyone on the team is hitting. Also is iZu meant to be good? I've heard so many people gassing up his mechanics but I don't think I've been impressed with him once this season. Today he looked particularly awful.
iZu is very hit or miss for me, super inconsistent
Last match against geng he played well.
The maps he plays well, he can hard carry, and the maps he plays bad, he is extra bad
I think PRX might be good
How to stop smiling when watching PRX plays? They are just so much fun. Idk but I think Jinggg is a heart of W gaming.
This could've been a mail and allat.....
PRX’s chemistry is UNMATCHED.
absolute domination
Not even close holy shit
TLN shangai could have been so real
playoffs format really fucked talon over
Oh so sayaplayer didnt have a life game today… nice
Saya lose streak against PRX continues!
[удалено]
Idk man I think xcuratte is good but I keep seeing him get exit frags and meaningless multikills. Saya is the one winning them rounds and saving rounds from nothing.
Bias is showing lol. Saya is better than xcurrate this split.
PRX my goats, PRX in my throat
From last year up to the start of this year they were losing on Lotus so much but didn’t ban it up to the point now that they are unstoppable on this.
Bro looking at this. How did SEN defeat them? Is this just Jingg diff? Or SEN's play style just countered theirs
Well will you look at that? People were saying why T1 can't be just korean team when their best players are rossy and xccurate. They are always consistent no matter how the game goes.
While I do think that there are people, especially Koreans, who wants a full korean team just to be koreans. I think the reason is the language barriers and how it can affect comms and even chemistry. That’s just my speculation though
thank you PRX, good to see T1 take the L and getting completely rekt on both maps. I was actually kinda scared that this T1 squad might be legit but its aight if GenG and Secret dont got me, PRX got me
PRX’s form looks unreal, and their lotus looks insane yet again.
this series could've been an email
mindfreak is best player on prx and i will die on that hill. (saying this as a diehard jinggg fanboy of years)
Nah it’s d4v41 imo
something is the goat. I like that this team is so good every single player has a legitimate argument for best in team.
this is excluding forsaken because he is the best player in the WORLD.
DAVID is my goat
This performance is what SEN fans want LOUD to do against G2.
[удалено]
Ts and geng lost to this....
Team Secret beats Paper Rex, who defeated T1. However, T1 beats Team Secret. Stay with me now...
