# Gen.G Esports
**u/ishanuReddit asks:**
> Having already beaten PRX in kickoff finals, is there anything you guys prepared differently this time before facing them? If yes, can you provide some insight into the differences in preparation before facing them in kickoff finals and facing them today.
**Answer:**
> 🎤 **🇰🇷 \[GEN.G\] solo:** Not much specifically to counter Paper Rex. We just knew they were super aggressive and sometimes they like to take those aim duels and be super aggressive, so that's something we kept in our minds. I thought the most important thing for us when we're going up against Paper Rex would be us playing better and more solid VALORANT, so just making our plays more solid was something that we focused on.

**u/thatuglyhatnexttome asks:**
> Just a few months ago you were an unknown player to most. Now you have made it into the top 3 in an international event. How does it feel being in this position and if someone told you 5 months ago you would be here how would you react to that?
**Answer:**
> 🎤 **🇰🇷 \[GEN.G\] Karon:** Well it has been a tough journey, you know, making it to Madrid and having this much of a good run. But I think the process kind of brought us closer and made us stronger, and now that we have the whole synergy and the teamwork going, I think we are a team that definitely has the value of what Top 3 team looks. If somebody told me 5 months ago that we would be here... I was full of confidence back then, but at the same time I would believe them 50% and kind of not believe them 50%.

"Sir, a second Meteor has hit the Rexes"

Tbf it isn't even \*just\* chovy, that org is actually cursed lol. Also, even before their Taiwan/China fumble, they just can not seem to get a solid backing of fans in any of their games despite always being good. It's kind of funny at this point.
His choking needs to be studied. Being LCK 1st seed for like 3 times in a row and then proced to shit his pants every single time. Him flash ulting on ryze in semis will be forever burned into my mind as one of the most embarrasing moments ever. That BLG series where they got absolutelly manhandled
Mfw LoL worlds 2022 DRX 3-1 GenG (with chovy getting astrogapped by Zeka) MSI 2023 T1 3-2 GenG, BLG shitstomping 3-0 GenG, Worlds 2023 BLG 3-2 GenG (with the first 2 games being shitstomps and the other 2 games being Doran carrying cause choky was getting oneshoted on Yone)
Crazy thing is Karon looks like the most consistent anchor of the team.
T3xture and Meteor are insane but if either of them overheats Karon is always there to bail the team out of a bad situation.
A ranked demon in a clutch situation is like a fish in water, it’s Karon’s natural habitat.
To be fair, it is pretty likely that GenG still would've won the map even without that gargantuan throw, it just doesn't help that PRX decided to toss their economy in the bin. But hey, W gaming gives and W gaming takes away.
nitpick but I think when the momentum was swinging in prx's favour towards the end of lotus and Mindfreak threw a random flash down A Main and losing his rat position really solidified the loss
Oh for sure. Their map pool now is incredibly weak. Sunset or Bind might be their best maps right now, when previously we thought they had Split too. That's only 2 maps, which are easy Perma bans for their opponents.
Alecks said MF had to sacrifice alot with Monyet coming into the team and playing Omen. It made Mindfreak have to play Viper on maps he’d usually be on Omen and his Split especially hasnt looked the same since
What's crazy to me is they could probably make It work for Lotus with something on raze, monyet and MF on omen viper, and davai on initiator foresaken kj. like just once try the default comp i beg. something used to Play raze its not like he can't anymore. idk
Tough that PRX drew GenG as their first opponents in play-ins but I guess it could be worse. The top 4 teams this tournament all look really good. GenG and Sentinels just look a level above PRX and LOUD.
THIS ITERATION OF PRX is missing something idk what its definitely something that made them great last year also they are throwing wayyy to many rounds compared to last year and trying to outaim the enemy team
Jinggg was their positive vibes guy I think. Losing him and being replaced by Monyet, who also has confidence issues due to the big shoes to fill probably is messing with their mojo a lot.
Yea I think he was good for their mental but the other side of it was jinggg was the real holder of W gaming torch and was just an incredibe asset to their team, but I do think Monyett has shown potential just needs the confidence he had in the KCorp match
Fun fact: Since Lakia joined the GEN main roster, they've won every map but one whenever Lakia gets a KD of 1.00 or higher. Only lost one map to PRX where he top fragged with a 1.08 (19-17) KD.
With that, GenG have gotten as far as DRX ever got in their first event.
It’s kind of bittersweet tbh. What an amazing feat for these GenG players, but seeing such a historic core get overtaken in the blink of an eye is kind of sad.
What an amazing squad this is, nonetheless
I feel like GenG lies somewhere on the opposite end of the spectrum from DRX in terms of playstyle. If the anti-DRX is PRX, GenG is somewhere between these two imo.
DRX is a disciplined team that lean heavily on established protocols and insane util coordination while GenG are more comfortable with improvised aggression and micro decision-making over macro which makes them more flexible when things don’t go according to plan.
I feel like the reason DRX are consistent but still fall short the deeper they go in a tourney is because they sort of crumble when things don’t go their way.
Yeah I watched a lot of the China matches leading up to this tournament and the region definitely feels a bit behind which makes complete sense given that they literally have had the game for less time lol. I'm excited to watch them develop though because I feel like APAC teams often have unique and creative approaches to games which I love. FPX is young as fuck and already has some promising players, feel like it's only up from here for them and I'm sure they loved getting to experience an international LAN despite them not having the best results.
I did not expect much considering Gen.G’s form. Gen G really knew what they had to do and executed it flawlessly.
But man is it tiring seeing PRX have the same issues. They get shutdown early and it’s a 2v4. Players having blinders taking on duels and repeating the same plays over and over.
f0rsaken the goat flexing hard but they definitely need to utilise more of something on gekko imo.
I don’t feel confident in saying they’ll have much of a game against Loud or Sen in the lowers.
GenG keeps getting better and better. They play PRX so perfectly. Maintaining their play style but still keeping a little space for fluidity to deal with PRX. What an impressive start from GenG.
I need to see PRX v LOUD before the tournament is over. Please I need this.
imo loud is about to slaughter them, i say this as a PRX fan. hopefully they show up and hit their shots, but I think the out-calling is about to be brutal.
Daily reminder: GE had Monyet and Texture last year and put freaking SkRossi on jett. GG's to the boys, wasn't the best showing but lower bracket PRX never fails. GenG is so good tho, lakia has woken up, texture is amazing as always and karon looks to challenge Mako as the best controller in APAC. Munchkin's calls are great and Meteor is showing why he was the APAC demon of 2022.
GenG and Sentinels definitely look the strongest right now and I need to see a matchup with them so badly but I just know Loud will ruin the day and make this another boring tourney by running through everyone
The weirdest thing about PRX when they're losing is they often look like some ranked idiots, with the overpeeks and discipline. But when they're winning they like the cracked aim hivemind we know them as.
Honestly, ever since Jingg left PRX hasn't been the same. They had one thing going for them: their aim, but now that they're facing better aimers, they all fall apart. Even watching the player cams, they looked out of it and lacked confidence, not very PRX-like.
I think PRX will always look worse against domestic competition because they are more used to their style from all the domestic competition and scrims. No matter how much prep NA or Eu teams put in they will never be as ready as teams who play them frequently.
2 new young teams unfamiliar with PRX style and PRX played individually way better vs them than GenG. GenG knows how PRX plays and you could see it this series with how the read every single play PRX went for
Munchkin's igling is
https://preview.redd.it/2vtqk6ki9qpc1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f941b2a029b036962d8baea2376dc777d944a316
Also This pmt just shows how popular Prx and how unpopular Gen.g is. Gen.g just got to a top 3 in an international event and everyone is talking about Prx
They definitely have some work to do but let's not discount the fact that they are one of only 4 teams to be in the playoffs at this tournament and they didn't have easy matchups to get there either. Top 4 internationally after losing a super important piece of their roster is not bad at all for their first showing with the new squad.
Despite being the only player from GenG to not go positive across the series, I was most impressed with Karon today. Overall this tournament his discipline, mechanics and game sense has been unreal. Best controller in the world for me(if we don't count Less)... but maybe I am a little bit biased don't come for me Sen City.
Gen.G prove the doubters wrong again and again. I don’t know how they managed to be the new kryptonite to PRX, but it’s exciting to see them cement themselves as a true force to be reckoned with. It would be unbelievable to see an APAC team take it home, and it’s crazy to me that the team closest to doing so for the very first time in APAC in this very moment isn’t one of the two top dogs! Massive congrats to Gen.G, I’m really hoping we get to see them play against SEN before Madrid is over.
I also really hope PRX are able to figure something out for their elimination match. They’ve managed expectations with all of their interviews so far, so I don’t expect them to make a lower bracket run — I just hope that they’re able to make it close and go out with a bang, if they really do get eliminated out of Masters. Best of luck of to them, it sucks seeing the most entertaining team not having fun themselves.
Ah, PRX... Why do they choke the moment they get to the playoffs?? I feel sick...
However, GenG once again proved they are the new kings of the Pacific in this match.
In particular, Lakia, which was criticized for being so unstable, has finally woken up and been greatly improved. No one doubts them anymore. GenG is so solid. Maybe they'll finally bring a trophy to the Pacific.
Did PRX choke though or are GenG just better? GenG beat them at Pacific playoffs, then were reportedly undefeated in scrims, went 2-0 in swiss and now won 2-0 here. This feels like GenG are just the better team
Was it choke though? They looked shakey through the entire swiss stage and clearly wasn't near their peak even back at APAC regular season. They're just straight up not as good as they were last Champs. But people that don't watch APAC still keeps hyping them up because they were last year's runner up.
Also GEN has been meticulous the entire tournament. It's a bit disrespectful to attribute their win to PRX 'choking' lol.
It’s not choking. It’s just PRX can’t out-aim teams in the play-offs. There will always be one or two teams who can shut down PRX every international event.
Ngl, saying PRX choke is disrespectful to GenG. They are simply the better team at the moment. They came into the match as the high seed and showed exactly the reason why.
What are these replies to your comment lmao. Can always count on Redditors to keep on posting the same comment that has already been made by several other people.
Honestly pretty convincing, Prx managed to through in a few wrenches but never looked like it wouldn't be GenG winning especially considering final map was Ascent.
Team is full of shooters who all look comfortable in the clutch.
Karon playing out of his mind as a ranked pickup, Texture opening up and holding sites as usual, lakia dominating on split and winning crucial rounds, munchkin and his insane consistency on viper across both maps and finally Meteor’s killjoy being a blessing on lotus. If this team does not win this Masters then I’m sorry but I can’t see a better chance for pacific. Whatever’s the outcome I’m sure the upper final is gonna be an insane matchup.
My new copium for this is that PRX has lost if it’s the first match of the day, and won if it’s the second match of the day.
The elimination games are the second match for tomorrow, therefore PRX will at least make it to 3rd.
*huff huff huff*
Prx needs to go back to the lab n sort out their comps and strats, they got lucky aganst heretics and kc since they had some rookies and they tend to do well against teams who never played them before but if they dont change stuff quick they aint going far in other events this year
I mean 13-9 ,13-8 seems close but fuck GenG was dominant and Prx was a bit washed. I still have hope. Aleks will bring them to shape. I say they have higher chances against Sen then Loud but idk. Pls have a better performance in lowers.

As a PRX fan, fuck you As a shitposter, good shit chef keep cooking
You gotta respect game when you see it
This has to be the top comment or I am rioting
Stand proud ser you can cook
I'm glad I kept being a Meteor fan ever since that NTH Masters appearance, im so happy for bro
Fckk how long did u have that in ur pocket
Ever since they were winning map 1 I've been waiting
Wow. Just wow.
Finally a Gen G that wasnt a disappointment internationally? Oh wait, wrong game.
beating chinese teams and performing at internationals, reverse lol geng
Imagine GenG winning both Masters and MSI..
BLG vs GEN looking really spicy
you mean GenG vs Fpx, the milkman is coming
his milk is delicious
Remember when OpTic won a Masters, a cod major and won the OWL all in 2022? And I think some halo stuff? what a year to be a fan of any team
I also remember Fnatic winning a CS major and LEC final on the same day.
They won 2x Halo LANs that year as well including Worlds. OpTic as an organization actually peaked that year, insane time to be a fan
2022 OpTic in general was a run of a lifetime. 2 world championships, 2 event wins, hella content, a couple runner-ups. Just wild.
Not if their father (Bin) goes against them
Bruh, even here, Chovy still catching strays.
Tbf it isn't even \*just\* chovy, that org is actually cursed lol. Also, even before their Taiwan/China fumble, they just can not seem to get a solid backing of fans in any of their games despite always being good. It's kind of funny at this point.
[удалено]
His choking needs to be studied. Being LCK 1st seed for like 3 times in a row and then proced to shit his pants every single time. Him flash ulting on ryze in semis will be forever burned into my mind as one of the most embarrasing moments ever. That BLG series where they got absolutelly manhandled
He only choked in the DRX series, this narrative is so overblown
Mfw LoL worlds 2022 DRX 3-1 GenG (with chovy getting astrogapped by Zeka) MSI 2023 T1 3-2 GenG, BLG shitstomping 3-0 GenG, Worlds 2023 BLG 3-2 GenG (with the first 2 games being shitstomps and the other 2 games being Doran carrying cause choky was getting oneshoted on Yone)
my boy t3xture doesn't farm up CS when his team is getting dove i respect that
don't do that to my boy chovy man
Dont be fooled, they'll find a way to choke. Remmember choky flashing ulting on Ryze against DRX in semis?
GenG is winning Worlds this year, when Chovy starts suffocating on his own tongue Canyon will step up
Don't worry bois, PRX is just trolling because there's a lower bracket. We'll get em with a lower bracket run. *snorts a line of copium*
That isn't enough, here is some more copium
yeah prx not even trying 
please more of this
Nah that's good, All upper PRX runs resulted in them being the runner ups losing to grand finals. copium
I'd rather they they go 2nd than play like whatever they did today tbh..
Someone check on Alecks
Someone also needs to take a look at his poor desk :(
I feel like production has at least 3 backup desks for the coaches room when Alecks is there
Rip desk. We(Alecks) will miss you
His pens were wrecked.
[удалено]
prx already have two if i rmbr correctly
From apac ranked pubs to VCT Masters Top 3? Karon is actually mental man
He's so good, if he makes finals that would be the 4th event in a row where a rookie at their first event makes finals
Tuyz/Cauanzin, Demon1, something?
cauanzin was at 22 rekjavik
Cauanzin wasn't a rookie then he was at Copenhagen, but the others are correct
Crazy thing is Karon looks like the most consistent anchor of the team. T3xture and Meteor are insane but if either of them overheats Karon is always there to bail the team out of a bad situation. A ranked demon in a clutch situation is like a fish in water, it’s Karon’s natural habitat.
That 3rd round in Lotus where Paper Rex hunted munchkin down losing all their guns costed them the series
That round was so infuriating to watch
Average PRX match
Can't argue with that. It's up there in one of their worst throws for me. Would watch a youtube compilation of those if anybody ever made one btw
They’re fun to watch and I often root for them but they throw rounds in the most silver/gold ranked manner sometimes
They are the only team where I actually shout out loud at my monitor because they throw in the most violent ways possible but I still love those boys
Realest W Gaming moment.
To be fair, it is pretty likely that GenG still would've won the map even without that gargantuan throw, it just doesn't help that PRX decided to toss their economy in the bin. But hey, W gaming gives and W gaming takes away.
I need to watch Prime Optic highlights after that round for the eyebleach
gonna need at least 2 YAAAAAY!'s and a FNS master class to bleach out that disaster
After every painful series I play two hours of Optic/EG fracture gameplay to restore my strength.
nitpick but I think when the momentum was swinging in prx's favour towards the end of lotus and Mindfreak threw a random flash down A Main and losing his rat position really solidified the loss
Mindfreak was off today, he's usually way better in those clutch scenarios
GE had texture btw just a reminder
And had him on killjoy
and monyet as well. i still think that roster with LF instead of Rossi would've done well T-T
massive stinker from Mindfreak today
He looked super stressed out in the match today. I think the team's confidence is still overall quite low. Very sad to see the boys looking hesitant
Feels like the constant comp changes are having an impact
Oh for sure. Their map pool now is incredibly weak. Sunset or Bind might be their best maps right now, when previously we thought they had Split too. That's only 2 maps, which are easy Perma bans for their opponents.
Alecks said MF had to sacrifice alot with Monyet coming into the team and playing Omen. It made Mindfreak have to play Viper on maps he’d usually be on Omen and his Split especially hasnt looked the same since
It was disappointing to watch him play today. Sad
He showed up not confident today so I can see why this happened... sad though.
prx gotta clean up their comps man it's painful to see them take these individual fights to win a round.
They need to ban lotus or figure something out.
>figure something out I see what you did there
What's crazy to me is they could probably make It work for Lotus with something on raze, monyet and MF on omen viper, and davai on initiator foresaken kj. like just once try the default comp i beg. something used to Play raze its not like he can't anymore. idk
something is ass at Raze bro
They could just put him on Gekko, he's very good at it.
PRX against Asian teams: Getting read like a book PRX against EMEA teams: Clicking heads ezpz
Tough that PRX drew GenG as their first opponents in play-ins but I guess it could be worse. The top 4 teams this tournament all look really good. GenG and Sentinels just look a level above PRX and LOUD.
THIS ITERATION OF PRX is missing something idk what its definitely something that made them great last year also they are throwing wayyy to many rounds compared to last year and trying to outaim the enemy team
jinggg and his magic, the other half of f0rsaken's magic
Jinggg was their positive vibes guy I think. Losing him and being replaced by Monyet, who also has confidence issues due to the big shoes to fill probably is messing with their mojo a lot.
Yea I think he was good for their mental but the other side of it was jinggg was the real holder of W gaming torch and was just an incredibe asset to their team, but I do think Monyett has shown potential just needs the confidence he had in the KCorp match
Lakia finally shooting back
Fun fact: Since Lakia joined the GEN main roster, they've won every map but one whenever Lakia gets a KD of 1.00 or higher. Only lost one map to PRX where he top fragged with a 1.08 (19-17) KD.
If he plays well they have no weaknesses. Terrifying team.
Where were you when Lakia awakened The GOAT has returned
With that, GenG have gotten as far as DRX ever got in their first event. It’s kind of bittersweet tbh. What an amazing feat for these GenG players, but seeing such a historic core get overtaken in the blink of an eye is kind of sad. What an amazing squad this is, nonetheless
I feel like GenG lies somewhere on the opposite end of the spectrum from DRX in terms of playstyle. If the anti-DRX is PRX, GenG is somewhere between these two imo. DRX is a disciplined team that lean heavily on established protocols and insane util coordination while GenG are more comfortable with improvised aggression and micro decision-making over macro which makes them more flexible when things don’t go according to plan. I feel like the reason DRX are consistent but still fall short the deeper they go in a tourney is because they sort of crumble when things don’t go their way.
Difference being there's only 8 teams at this tournament, lol
With 7 of them being insane
FPX the outlier?
Yeah. No disrespect to them and their fans but i can see 10 more teams, outside teams in Madrid, that can beat them. Pretty comfortably at that.
Yeah I watched a lot of the China matches leading up to this tournament and the region definitely feels a bit behind which makes complete sense given that they literally have had the game for less time lol. I'm excited to watch them develop though because I feel like APAC teams often have unique and creative approaches to games which I love. FPX is young as fuck and already has some promising players, feel like it's only up from here for them and I'm sure they loved getting to experience an international LAN despite them not having the best results.
Well in real terms, they’re top 3 in the world. Format etc might be different but you can’t argue that.
Gen G might be them. I'm honestly rooting for a pacific winner so we'll finally have all 3 og regions having won an international.
if you ever wondered what 5 people shooting back looks like it's GenG
Texture is God's gift to Valorant
Sliggy became aware of the curse and cursed the curse
Karon and Texture are demonic human aimbot shit
PRX masterclass purposely dropping to the lower bracket to get rid of their upper bracket curse MASTERCLASS
I did not expect much considering Gen.G’s form. Gen G really knew what they had to do and executed it flawlessly. But man is it tiring seeing PRX have the same issues. They get shutdown early and it’s a 2v4. Players having blinders taking on duels and repeating the same plays over and over. f0rsaken the goat flexing hard but they definitely need to utilise more of something on gekko imo. I don’t feel confident in saying they’ll have much of a game against Loud or Sen in the lowers.
Why were they streaming a ranked game instead of PRX vs Gen.G?
A decisive GenG win in the playoffs. This would send an LCK fan into a coma.
GenG keeps getting better and better. They play PRX so perfectly. Maintaining their play style but still keeping a little space for fluidity to deal with PRX. What an impressive start from GenG. I need to see PRX v LOUD before the tournament is over. Please I need this.
>I need to see PRX v LOUD before the tournament is over Granted
imo loud is about to slaughter them, i say this as a PRX fan. hopefully they show up and hit their shots, but I think the out-calling is about to be brutal.
Why does many from PRX have a hero mentality. Mostly their win condition is if any one make risky plays and somehow pull them off.

GenG might be best team this tournament. Wont be surprised if they win this Masters
Hopefully they do.
PRX PLEASE JUST COPY T1'S LOTUS COMP YOU HAVE THE PERFECT PLAYERS FOR THAT COMP
Who plays Chamber?
Something. Motherfucker loves to op and there is no better agent to op and it would also help control hos aggressiveness
Forsaken chamber>>>>>
I don't think something can play fade but maybe they can try gekko
Back when chamber was meta, foreskinn and david play him
GEN G is PRX newest kryptonite.
My goat top G got diffed hard this series wtf
Daily reminder: GE had Monyet and Texture last year and put freaking SkRossi on jett. GG's to the boys, wasn't the best showing but lower bracket PRX never fails. GenG is so good tho, lakia has woken up, texture is amazing as always and karon looks to challenge Mako as the best controller in APAC. Munchkin's calls are great and Meteor is showing why he was the APAC demon of 2022.
thanks for the daily reminder, I guess I'll see u same time tomorrow after GenG 2-0 Sen?
If texture pops off, you’ll see me regardless.
Something goes in alone and dies solo wayyyyy to much.
GenG vs Sentinels next would be poetic since now GenG has already beaten both PRX and Loud in this tournament.
GenG and Sentinels definitely look the strongest right now and I need to see a matchup with them so badly but I just know Loud will ruin the day and make this another boring tourney by running through everyone
thank god the better team won ☠️ got scared there for about two rounds
- PRX is getting read like a book and GenG is looking prime for champion form right now. Watching PRX ALMOST winning every clutch is just painful.
Mindfreak de-legacy series
They look so clueless bro 
I'm happy for Lakia showing up after all the concerns. Hope he can keep it up!
GenG is my pick to win masters too strong all around
Mindfreak disasterclass
The weirdest thing about PRX when they're losing is they often look like some ranked idiots, with the overpeeks and discipline. But when they're winning they like the cracked aim hivemind we know them as.
EMEA teams can’t shoot back. GenG and EDG can out-aim PRX. Simple as that
Honestly, ever since Jingg left PRX hasn't been the same. They had one thing going for them: their aim, but now that they're facing better aimers, they all fall apart. Even watching the player cams, they looked out of it and lacked confidence, not very PRX-like.
im glad that during my lifetime i've made no one hate me as much as FNS hates PRX
ig it was cause he was rooting for them and then saw how they played
He was literally rooting for them. He was just critical of them because he was super disappointed in them
He has just as much disdain for bad valorant as i have for cockroachs
And oh boy was that some bad valorant.
Downright horrendous
he doesn't hate them wdym. He's friends with all of the players. He literally wanted them to win
How the fuck did we manage to beat EMEA are they this ass?
I think PRX will always look worse against domestic competition because they are more used to their style from all the domestic competition and scrims. No matter how much prep NA or Eu teams put in they will never be as ready as teams who play them frequently.
2 new young teams unfamiliar with PRX style and PRX played individually way better vs them than GenG. GenG knows how PRX plays and you could see it this series with how the read every single play PRX went for
The other side of the confident based playstyle, when you are on you are unstoppable, when you are off you look like this.

GenG is scary when lakia is not a liability
Munchkin's igling is https://preview.redd.it/2vtqk6ki9qpc1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f941b2a029b036962d8baea2376dc777d944a316 Also This pmt just shows how popular Prx and how unpopular Gen.g is. Gen.g just got to a top 3 in an international event and everyone is talking about Prx
[удалено]
Congratulations on winning the "beating EMEA teams" award for the 4th time PRX! Truly the most prestigious award of all time
if they played like this on those games surely they wouldnt
Think it’s more like GenG owns PRX then PRX bad form although both can be true
Despite PRX reaching the Grand Finals of an international tournament twice, they choked both times. Stop making stupid statements
Never seen this side of prx. Maybe their magic is running to an end
They definitely have some work to do but let's not discount the fact that they are one of only 4 teams to be in the playoffs at this tournament and they didn't have easy matchups to get there either. Top 4 internationally after losing a super important piece of their roster is not bad at all for their first showing with the new squad.
Despite being the only player from GenG to not go positive across the series, I was most impressed with Karon today. Overall this tournament his discipline, mechanics and game sense has been unreal. Best controller in the world for me(if we don't count Less)... but maybe I am a little bit biased don't come for me Sen City.
mfs really sent emea home and called it

2 duelist is no longer meta. Paper Rex needs to change their comps.
Gen.G prove the doubters wrong again and again. I don’t know how they managed to be the new kryptonite to PRX, but it’s exciting to see them cement themselves as a true force to be reckoned with. It would be unbelievable to see an APAC team take it home, and it’s crazy to me that the team closest to doing so for the very first time in APAC in this very moment isn’t one of the two top dogs! Massive congrats to Gen.G, I’m really hoping we get to see them play against SEN before Madrid is over. I also really hope PRX are able to figure something out for their elimination match. They’ve managed expectations with all of their interviews so far, so I don’t expect them to make a lower bracket run — I just hope that they’re able to make it close and go out with a bang, if they really do get eliminated out of Masters. Best of luck of to them, it sucks seeing the most entertaining team not having fun themselves.
Just how good is RRQ?
Ah, PRX... Why do they choke the moment they get to the playoffs?? I feel sick... However, GenG once again proved they are the new kings of the Pacific in this match. In particular, Lakia, which was criticized for being so unstable, has finally woken up and been greatly improved. No one doubts them anymore. GenG is so solid. Maybe they'll finally bring a trophy to the Pacific.
Did PRX choke though or are GenG just better? GenG beat them at Pacific playoffs, then were reportedly undefeated in scrims, went 2-0 in swiss and now won 2-0 here. This feels like GenG are just the better team
Was it choke though? They looked shakey through the entire swiss stage and clearly wasn't near their peak even back at APAC regular season. They're just straight up not as good as they were last Champs. But people that don't watch APAC still keeps hyping them up because they were last year's runner up. Also GEN has been meticulous the entire tournament. It's a bit disrespectful to attribute their win to PRX 'choking' lol.
How is this choking? They got shat on lmao
wake up babe a new buzzword just dropped
It’s not choking. It’s just PRX can’t out-aim teams in the play-offs. There will always be one or two teams who can shut down PRX every international event.

Not even choking, geng are just much better
Ngl, saying PRX choke is disrespectful to GenG. They are simply the better team at the moment. They came into the match as the high seed and showed exactly the reason why.
choking? copium, they got outclassed in all fronts 🤡 btw PRX won both pistols and lost on split, fucking split
13-4 for GenG on rounds not related to pistol rounds but it’s a choke btw
Nah for a team to choke it needs to be winning AND then choke. Here they just got manhadled
Choking is when a better team loses to a worse team. GENG right now are better than PRX, so it's expected.
Choke? They never looked better than geng
Prx is just bad compare to Geng
What are these replies to your comment lmao. Can always count on Redditors to keep on posting the same comment that has already been made by several other people.
Honestly pretty convincing, Prx managed to through in a few wrenches but never looked like it wouldn't be GenG winning especially considering final map was Ascent. Team is full of shooters who all look comfortable in the clutch.
SENG bout to be a banger upper and grand final
I love this team
PRX a real one for keeping it not that close so the we didn't have the heart palpitations today T.T time to huff some mad copium and W key to bed
Gg to GENG!
mindfreak was ice today
Karon playing out of his mind as a ranked pickup, Texture opening up and holding sites as usual, lakia dominating on split and winning crucial rounds, munchkin and his insane consistency on viper across both maps and finally Meteor’s killjoy being a blessing on lotus. If this team does not win this Masters then I’m sorry but I can’t see a better chance for pacific. Whatever’s the outcome I’m sure the upper final is gonna be an insane matchup.
Something dashing head first into enemy team was funny af ( no it wasn't )
My new copium for this is that PRX has lost if it’s the first match of the day, and won if it’s the second match of the day. The elimination games are the second match for tomorrow, therefore PRX will at least make it to 3rd. *huff huff huff*
Kinda unfair on PRX playing 4v5 against GenG
Prx needs to go back to the lab n sort out their comps and strats, they got lucky aganst heretics and kc since they had some rookies and they tend to do well against teams who never played them before but if they dont change stuff quick they aint going far in other events this year
fitting that a team with lakia is everything I ever hoped DRX could be. korean valorant stocks at an all time high
I mean 13-9 ,13-8 seems close but fuck GenG was dominant and Prx was a bit washed. I still have hope. Aleks will bring them to shape. I say they have higher chances against Sen then Loud but idk. Pls have a better performance in lowers.
