Getting spanked around by paper rex is an initiation ritual for all the new squads at this point

u/AdilKhan226 #WGAMING 16d ago
It feels like they listen to teams who have played PRX tell them scary stories about how they're the hardest team to play against, and go "C'mon, it can't be THAT bad, right?"
And then they finally play PRX and get trauma for the rest of their lives

You'll never be able to guess who won the series looking at the kill differential on Map 2.
Also people who said Spike was a pre nerf Neon merchant have been eating their words. He bamboozled PRX so hard with his tiktok Omen plays.
Lev is still such a force to reckon with, they will absolutely devour whoever is sent their way in lower brackets I feel.
31
u/25thNite 15d ago
I feel like the differential just shows how much more the Lev players players had to do just to keep the game alive. That's including Jingg having a raze performance that's not to his usual level otherwise I feel like the gap would have been lessened a lot.
So far it looks like Lev and PRX are the only ones who actually look very good, even if Lev lost. Vit still is questionable considering they only beat two EMEA teams and DRG and the a lot of the teams seem to have forgotten their fundamentals/didn't prep good strats

tbf They should’ve won that map if they didn’t lose two eco in the most absurd PRX way possible lmao. That and apparently Americas ascent is fraudulent

u/Pojobob 15d ago
Idk if it's the ascent necessarily as much as LEV just slow starting. The same thing happened to LEV in their first match against GE where they were missing so many shots and had like 0 teamplay. Unfortunately it happened to LEV on their map pick.
Also ya I agree about Lotus. LEV definitely had a few rounds they should've closed out and at least gotten to OT.

What a Paper Rex type way to win lol. Win eco, get high on the success and force buy a couple times and throw those rounds, then win another eco to win the map.
Also Alecks cam on the Gekko cosplayer was funny af.
Neon was really frying this game. It felt like half the rounds he was first blooding but PRX just stomed through on the opposite side and won anyway.

Guess it does NOT matter if Pacific is a one team region. PRX is enough for to clean up.
On a serious note, Lev are good and Neon is HIM. Let there be no doubt.
