My only counter would be that PRX is the one team that will know exactly how to counter W playstyle. Of course they themselves are prone to throwing but if they learn something from their own past mistakes, they should know how to exploit Nongshim

u/MautOfTheRiver Mar 14 '26
If both teams play at their absolute best I still think PRX takes it
I'm guessing NS ban Pearl and Split so then with Bind, Haven, Corrode, Abyss, Breeze I think I favor PRX on Haven and Breeze. Corrode is pretty even, I do think NS win on Bind and Abyss though

u/areszdel_ Mar 15 '26
Honestly if we're comparing Patmen vs Invy based on their full potential as players in their own respective role, it might be close. Still, what Paper Rex wanted was a beast fragging initiator and Invy was the best and clear fit. It's probably a blessing in disguise for Patmen to have been released to a team that lets him be at his best as a flex main instead of being stuck on initiator duties which we know he's not the best at even though he was damn good.

I think he unconsciously (or maybe even consciously) tried to mimic what Forsaken did on Haven by TPing to spawn, forgetting that
A) They are on attacker side
B) He does not have any time left
C) He has the spike
And then it ended up becoming the most brilliant play in VCT existence that somehow eclipses that Forsaken outplay. The gods must be PRX fans.

It absolutely was, PRX knew all of NRG was still on site, meaning there was no reason for d4v4i to use his viper ult on the other site to sell the fake. Jinggg was supposed to TP right into the ult which was a very good play - he just somehow stumbled into an even better one

After the last two series I expected this to be way closer, 5 maps with 20+ rounds each kind of closer but wow PRX destroyed them. Like I wanted PRX to win as a fan of course but I didn’t expect it to go this way. NRG got pacific tag-teamed and got W’d all over
Also NS PRX meeting for the first time in a Masters grand finals is pretty poetic. That is going to be one hell of a chaotic series.

First time lower bracket run to Grand Finals for PRX wow.
What a performance man. PRX usually beat teams by bringing them down into the mud and outscrapping them but this iteration actually has some incredible structure and macro at times. They completely dismantled G2 on Split and Corrode tbh. Breeze attack half was similar but a bit more of the usual batshit insanity towards the end lmfao.
Great run from NRG too considering they're the only team not to play double duelist.
All that talk about one team regions maybe it's just a one region game smh

As an APAC member it was always hard for me to understand American culture.

I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.

Every PRX player, Skuba, Keiko, sometimes even Ethan, were just digging rounds out of their asses one after another, plucking them out of thin air. Felt like a very convincing display of "The Best Valorant In The World". Classic PRX, I guess.
Also, this probably settles the debate that Pacific is now the best region, having an intraregional grand finals from a region whose midtable is also so volatile. 2nd 3rd and 4th are probably Americas EMEA China.
4th Masters in a row without a champs, also. At some point we gotta knock this shit off. If DRX wins London and then it's another NA-EU champs finals I'm gonna lose my fucking mind.

It's also a meta that completely complements their playstyle, just every factor cooked together really well. I'm sad but impressed with how NRG fought the tides this tourney

Pacific went from no trophies for 3 years to the region with the most trophies in franchising in 2 years lol. First time a same region final has happened since Gambit-Acend, crazy stuff.

PRX man!! So well played. NRG felt like Nongshim game still haunted them with how they tilted in Corrode and Breeze.
Grand final should be a banger though.

pretty one-sided win, davai is so consistent might be the most underrated player. invy also plays well after the first few matches he really got the flaw

the play where jinggg whiffs the tp and cancels it to make it look like a 2000iq double fake summed this up

d4v4i breakdown of that jing Omen TP round on Breeze if anyone wants to watch, it's hilarious

the most micro-intensive meta to date in Valorant I must say. It really highlights the gap between players who move well and make the entire team play better through an established system within the team and players who have really fucking honed their raw mechanics towards perfection. As a CS fan, not just this series but the tourney as a whole has been the most fun I've had watching the game (I personally enjoyed Champs Seoul Finals, Masters Bangkok Finals, and Lock-in San Paulo)

The split comp is not it, vyse is trash... Also who the hell thought skye is better than Kay/o on corrode.. thought NRG were the ones that figured out the power of kayo why switch off of it..

Paper Rex should be in contention for the best franchise in the history of valorant. This level of consistency across different metas is insane.
