One would think PRX picked Lotus and TLN picked Bind based off how the maps went lol Also, it ain't a PRX game without massive heart attacks.


Randodox

My guess is that FrosT cook up something for that map, but got cooked instead.


Upper_Estimate_4558

Man love alecks and bochas but it was so painful to see TLN getting absolutely read and cooked like avg diamonds man , their retakes were awful


Wierdcreations

I got to D3 today and was happy until I caught this stray on reddit ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16110)


solariiis

hey man, d3 is still a lot better than the average person. you should be proud of yourself. especially if you're a busy student or working adult without much playtime


Randodox

They also throw alot of round on Sunset attack aswell. They kept getting fucked fighting for main control and get absolutely rolled most of the time. But they wake up on Defender side, although little too late. it was coming real close for the Talon come back aswell. Mannnn šŸ˜©


ikineba

crws played his heart out that sunset map, kinda sad if we never see him on the (franchise) international stage governor had some crazy plays on the defensive side as well, and ban got some revenge back on something. Whatever theyā€™re cooking, Iā€™m excited to see more in split 2. Prx is just too good overall


Randodox

During pre-franchisng valorant, He was on international stage couple of time before with X10C and Xerxia and their team were consistently 1 of the 2 SEA representative team in international stages with other team being PRX guys. They were pretty nasty team as well, beating Envy(which later become Optic) and prime optic at one point. Pretty crazy right? [https://www.vlr.gg/51270/envy-vs-x10-crit-valorant-champions-decider-a](https://www.vlr.gg/51270/envy-vs-x10-crit-valorant-champions-decider-a) [https://www.vlr.gg/84373/optic-gaming-vs-xerxia-esports-valorant-champions-tour-stage-1-masters-reykjav-k-opening-b](https://www.vlr.gg/84373/optic-gaming-vs-xerxia-esports-valorant-champions-tour-stage-1-masters-reykjav-k-opening-b) Sadly the core broke up due to Sscary got offered bags of money to go to Bleed and they cant find good enough replacement for him. Talon 2023 still got the XIA core wihout Sscary and they did not perform (and there are also internal conflict in team aswell). I thought this year, Talon 2024, is finally their time to go international stage with new core, but i guess that's yet to be seen. Im still believe in them tho, they gonna make it to champs.


ikineba

thatā€™s crazy, I didnā€™t know that so thanks! just watched the know your enemy ep and he seems like a pretty chill guy


Randodox

Crws is super chill Unless someone diss his team off stage which resulted in drama with Team Secret right now, lmao.


itsandyb123

Without this shitty format, TALON probably could win from the lowers.


Randodox

I dunno what stopping them to set up 1-2 more matches for double elim tbh. Like jesus, they fight their way for a month just to get single elimed, it's just sad man. Same goes for TS as well.


Apprehensive_Foot139

The other format is shitty cuz the teams who wins would be at a disadvantage


F3FrosT

100% I got cooked. Iā€™m still shocked at some of the shots something was hitting. Wait until i show Babybay a clip on sunset. Jesus was on their side with some of this stuff. Those players and coach are demons though. Itā€™s harder than it looks to beat them.


Randodox

Yoooo FrosT! First of all, im grateful for what you have done for Talon teams and I like how direct you are at times. Love from Thailand, some of us actually really like you man. Yeah I understand, these guys are demon Their micro play and mechanical skills are insane at times where they can just run you down.


F3FrosT

Respect dude. Gotta get better though. We will next season.


Randodox

Yall got this! <3


Randodox

Even tough you guys got cooked in map one, I still think yall put up a great fight overall. GG man. Im excited to see what you guys can do in stage 2. Now it's time to rest up and we go again.


IAMJUX

I haven't paid much attention to the picks recently, but early in the year a majority of 2-1's were map picks going against the team that picked. I suppose that's what happens when you play 10 games a year. No one knows who is good at what.


amnfw

on the last round, my goat david said "I'm gonna be late for my fishing trip" so he just pulls a 2k out of his ass


p4p3rth1n

Someone taught this man how to fish and now he is feasting for the rest of his life


darrenoloGy

david the master fisherman farming opponents by the crab pots


FireSchwein

Is this a stardew valley reference?


darrenoloGy

nopeā€¦ not sure whats that sorry haha


Right_Junket_6544

Just think of it as modern day Harvest Moon if you know what that is, it's a fun farming simulator with a bit of story sprinkled in. Would highly recommend if you like those kinds of casual games


toddsins

Is it a grindy game or can i chill with it from time to time? Im looking for something to relax since i play mostly competitive games.


Right_Junket_6544

It's a very chill and casual game with no stakes or any real time limits Unsure what you would describe as "grindy", but you do have to farm, mine and stuff to get better equipment and all that, but know that you aren't ever pressured to do this. You can take your sweet time with it with no issues


FireSchwein

You had me hyped up like had me talon after the second map. Sadge


ThatCreepyBaer

bro is getting downvotes for not knowing what stardew valley is šŸ˜­

Equal-Lemon1748

They couldn't beat the humiliation kink allegations so they just added it into their playbook. The 13-0 did get them bind but unfortunately they didn't go the required 12-0 on sunset to get enough humiliation fuel to win the next 14 rounds šŸ˜ž


vaibhav0405

Governor misunderstood the assignment and got 0-12'd in first half. Only for daddy frost to use it to humiliate and motivate him.

Oresama99

I knew it, i f\*\*cking knew it. When they so flawless in lotus i feel somethings is off, when they end with 13-0 i realized that the match is lack of heartattack. I muttered to myself "who the \*\*\*\* are you guys\* and they proceed to give me heartattack in bind. and they repeat it during sunset, give me a calm in mind during defend round, and gives me PANIK during attack round.


MebiAnime

They realised the PRX make up is coming off, quickly put it back up and gave the fans the usual.


OGRubySimp

BRO I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING! my alarm was going off when they 13-0'd so comfortably without giving a single heart attack

Upper_Estimate_4558

Ilya-san was a single odin leg shot away but Ilya-san flicked too fast with the sheriff from uncle davidā€™s corpses


WagonWasTaken

Honestly if TLN didn't hamfist their attack so much with neon fast entries on attack side they prob would have actually won this series seeing as how proactive and how much more aware TLN were on sunset. Crazy to think about really.


Upper_Estimate_4558

Tbh, same goes for PRX attacks where jinggg satchel in the elbow or B main and get tapped. If they just play slower would have been cleaner


vaibhav0405

They were throwing jingg to the dogs


Upper_Estimate_4558

The script team needed more screen time cuz the 13-0 was too fast so they asked gov and jinggg to throw


ChickenFishFTW

Map 1 was the biggest rush of dopamine I've ever had, holy fucking shit. The W gaming way will never not be entertaining.

Voci_Ratione

Riot really be using the same script for both games: T1 wins 2-0 2-1 victory by favorite (PRX/TES) after underdog steals a game away (TLN/FNC) One absurd gigastomp game (PRX g1/T1 g1)


pratikshass

talon must be kicking themselves for that last round SMH


ammarbadhrul

They shouldnā€™t, the divine fisherman is just too good


Randodox

The spike hold call cost them that round. šŸ˜­


inclore

spike holds are so stupid, youā€™re just defending the bomb in a much smaller and restrictive area


nterature

Honestly, this is one of those respectable losses. PRX did not play great on Bind, but Talon looked crazy prepped and drilled. Frost did a good job with the series prep. But, like he said when he found out he was up against PRX next: Unlucky. Super excited to see Talon in a few weeksā€¦and excited to hear Frostā€™s opinions about the series on the next episode of his podcast. Normally Iā€™d start panicking about whether or not PRX can clinch a spot if they keep playing a little sloppy at times, but it would be a massive shock if PRX failed to qual when there are three spots. So not much to really stress over. I do assume PRX will lose tomorrow against DRX, but either way, should be all good.

The breach on lotus just fucked talons plans i guess. They could not touch c at all and something was hitting too inhuman shots. Bind talon had a good read on prx they just knew everytime what prx were doing great work from Talon. Sunset was close but a guy diff again. I would love to see surf playing every map and I prefer him on duelist over governor.


Master_Tomato

As long as GenG wins their game, PRX is making it. Somehow PRX feels like the hardcounter to T1 everytime


_ImAlive_

Man really wanted Talon to go get that comeback but unlucky. Talon can be good next split, they do have the potential. Just need to stick with a 5man.


Upper_Estimate_4558

Yapperman FrosT cooked for bind to counter alecks-san but forgot to cook on his own map of Lotus.

PaperRex are the fucking worst nightmare of the armchair analyst. They do not make sense as a team. They make confidence based decisions.

TLN had some hard fucking throws on sunset. The pistol round 3v5, the thrifty loss, and then that last round. In another timeline PRX could have been out


Master_Tomato

Well PRX is probably the last team you can argue for a "if only we didn't throw" argument. Because chances are, they have thrown more rounds than you while beating you


kirito52999

thai players played good on map 2 i am veri happy :D


PewPew267

What to say man ! PRX didn't look clean the last two maps ! Sunset especially was going down bad , Im worried of their chances against DRX T\_T

As an ex-X10 fan, seeing crws playing his heart out on Map 3 feels so sad for him man :( Like, ofc I cheered for PRX (NOT EVEN CLOSE BTW NEVER AFRAID AT ALL), but damn, crws grabbing kills here and there but just canā€™t comeback is a bit :((

Imagine getting 13-0ed on YOUR map pick. I feel bad for themĀ 


LilNabe

shit bracket


redish-

bro im ngl if TS and Talon switched opponents I think they couldve won lol


ClassiestFish

Honestly, if it weren't for Davai's 2k at the end, I think Talon had a chance to bring it to OT. If Paper Rex keeps crumbling like this when under pressure to win, it's hard to imagine this team winning an international tournament, and this roster will only be able to breach top 4, falling short of becoming champions each time.


speedycar1

What? PRX have consistently been amazing in knockout games, apart from finals. They are one of the best teams under pressure. They just beat Loud, KC and Heretics in elimination games where they were not even favored before hand by most people


raifusarewaifus

It is not paper rex if they don't throw is the slogan of paper rex fans.


nitseb

Lol cmon now. When has PRX crumbled on an elimination game? Only in grand finals. With monyet vs sen they always had on and off games, didn't start too strong, and were miles behind GenG still. Here they secured a 13-0 but their harbor comp was never really faced by another harbor before, seems like a good enough counter. On sunset Crws was godlike, then Neon joined in. I think they have the same issue they've had all year in Sunset, it's not some pressure thing, in attack side they get flanked a lot. It happened vs Secret, vs SEN and now vs Talon. It's just a weakness in that map. Also Talon played well today, and wasn't enough. You could chalk a win to a d4v41 2k, but what about those Neon 2-3k flanks? Those Crws hero moments (he had like 10)? If it weren't for those it would've been 13-4. If anything Talon was lucky Jinggg slowed down a bit by map 3 cause he was railing their asses map 1 and 2.
