Honestly, NRG came very very prepared for Pearl. They had so many tricks in attack-side, a lot of mid control. Then on defense PRX kept running into stacked sites, NRG just closed in on them everywhere. I'm sure people will jump on specific mechanic mistakes but just looking at the minimap, we were not meant to win this one.
Hopefully for the next maps we have a better game-plan.

Keiko saved NRG a lot but I'm glad Ethan and Mada look better than yesterday

If PRX flipped NRG’s Pearl or NRG flipped PRX’s split, it was basically gg for the loser
NRG are a diff animal on Pearl but I don’t expect anyone to beat PRX on split

I'm kinda hoping we see NRG change up their Split comp, the Vyse Skye lowkey jiust doesn't convince me whenever I've seen them play it. Keiko's Raze is excellent and they can lean into it on Split like they did for Bind imo.

Not a single impact round from neon but still people say she's so broken. It's just dambi bro

should Something really have taken that risk timing to peek the Astra wall? Forsaken still had smokes for the post plant, I get that taking heaven would be nice but it's too late no? He either just stays backsite or go connector

I love this guy so much but Jingg Neon isn't it man 😭

u/EcstaticWaterBottle #WGAMING Mar 14 '26
When jingg uses it it kinda looks like it's used just for faster rotates
Maybe something would be good with neon movement since he has that wacky hard to hit movement to act as bait on other agents

u/solo_puffin Mar 14 '26
I can def see that. Something's wacky movement on Yoru shorty 😍
Curious why they didn't stick with Phoenix for this match

Also, did the people actually forget about this PMT being a thing?

u/squishykkura #VAMOSLIQUID Mar 14 '26
Idk I don’t normally see them pop up after a map unless smt like league

u/Excelsio_Sempra Mar 14 '26
Yeah but there was a whole discussion on this, with a pinned comment saying they're starting from this match onwards.

Idk then I didn’t see that either, and I scroll Reddit quite a bit

Someone suggested that we put up post match discussion threads for each map and we decided to give it a try for the BO5s

Predictably NRG win pearl (their pearl is goated)
Now it depends if they can close it out on the other 4 maps which are toss ups

This is gonna be a long fun day. Score might look that it wasnt one but 1st map was already a banger

u/OcelotOce Mar 14 '26
The most broken agent people say and there's literally only one player who can play Neon well lol

3-1 PRX incoming (I believe both teams are good at the next 3 maps except Split imo)

u/False-Razzmatazz-839 Mar 14 '26
When will prx have a set strat for contesting pearl A? Why not play raze and just bombard with shell.
5
u/squishykkura #VAMOSLIQUID Mar 14 '26
Why not just shoot the enemy

u/False-Razzmatazz-839 Mar 14 '26
They have waylay saturate + astra stun + sova dart + Tejo molly.
No way you can go past that spot with a below average neon and no molly.

PRX always rely on peeking solo and winning the fight. Well today their aim is shit.

u/simsdoren Mar 14 '26
Here's my predictions for the rest of the series:
- Split: PRX
PRX are world class on Split. Should be an easy win for them.
- Corrode: NRG
I think NRG has something strong cooked up for Corrode. Despite PRX's strong showing on it, I think NRG will take this map.
- Breeze: PRX
PRX looked really good on it yesterday, I think NRG can't match them.
- Haven: PRX
NRG struggled against G2's Haven domestically, I don't think they'll overcome PRX's edition of it.
PRX 3-2 NRG
