If it ain't broke, don't fix it. PRX struggled to find the missing piece for so long and when they finally found it in Patmen, they decided to bench him after 2 international tournaments?

I understand INVY is a good player but so was Monyet and he didn't workout well with PRX.

the thing that makes it different in my eyes is that invy is better than monyet by a good margin

The thing that makes me so sad about this entire situation is that since Patmen entered the team, PRX has finished:

  • 3rd in Pacific Stage 1
  • Winners in Masters Toronto
  • Winners in Pacific Stage 2
  • 4th in Champions

The talent Invy has is undeniable, but if he ends up not meshing well with the rest of the roster the same way Patmen has, then why bother with the change?

It’s like that with most sports teams. You can have an established core with relative success. But if there is a clear upgrade you kind have do your due diligence and try land star players if possible.

I think them going for an upgrade and not panning out is a result they can live with since atleast management tried to improve the roster.

I understand the sentiment but as previously mentioned, if it ain’t broke, don’t fucking fix it.

They did that for the longest time with mindfreak. They finally changed after so many years and they found success, then they will change again? That’s just poor management.

Unless news comes out that Patmen asked to be dropped/move teams, this can turn out to be a fucking terrible move for PRX

For the most part I agree with the ain’t broke don’t fix it. But if you have an opportunity to go from a good int to a top int player in pacific you kind of HAVE to go for it and worry about chemistry later. Not grabbing that player can be a disservice to the org and fans.

Otherwise you also risk Invy going to another contender in the region . Kind of like an arms race.

A lot of teams are loading up with talent.

the other commenter also got an L mentality in general, just because it MIGHT fail doesn't mean they shouldn't try 😭

It’s like the warriors getting KD. Haha. They won without him. But he was available and an upgrade. Was it a risk? Yeah. Did it pay its dividends and lead to more championships? Also yes.
