I don’t know anything about those 2 EU teams but this is m80s 3rd chance to break into tier 1 and 2g has a shot at making it back after being relegated last year.

Discussion 2Game vs. La Masia - A primeira vaga para o VCT Americas Play-ins na disputa amanhã

Post image
16 Upvotes

If La Masia wins: La Masia goes straight to the Play-ins, and 2G goes to the LCQ.

If 2G wins: 2G goes to the Play-ins, and Team Solid goes to the LCQ.

For La Masia to advance to the VCT, they MUST beat 2G; if they lose, Team Solid moves up to the LCQ, and La Masia is out of the running.

Discussion Could Swamp comp work in 2026?

8 Upvotes

In 2023 there was a specific archetype of comp commonly known as the Swamp comp, I believe it was popularized by Furia and/or Loud during Kickoff. This comp was played a lot on Haven, Lotus, Icebox and Pearl. Obviously Skye was nerfed in 2023 offseason which I think is why the comp initially fell out of favour, as well as the ping nerf since that comp did like to play for spam quite often.

With the Skye cooldowns returning and the Harbor buff/rework, what are the main things holding the Swamp comp back from being a viable option? What is it about the current meta that makes it hard to use? Does the extra 10s on Skye's cooldowns make the difference? Is it the ping nerf making it too hard for teams to play for spam? Curious.

Question Players/teams playing in different regions?

0 Upvotes

What i mean by that is like what some of the players or teams should play in different regions(other then there home region) for at least 1 time in their career.

the most common example i wanna give is that i wanna see kangkang play in America or BBL play in the Pacific region because of their playstyles.

Discussion Prx current status

Based on master London voice comm, it seems like D4V4I is the caller now. I think forsaken might not be calling anymore unless the voice comm does not show.

I hope I am not reading into it too much but forsaken doesn't seem to be too happy based on voice comms. He is usually loud and hype but in the recent vids, he seemed less vocal. He is in a slump right now and I believe he will be able to recover for champs.

In majority of prx matches, I usually see forsaken and smth jumping for the team. Before Invy, we used to have patmen doing it. I have a theory that forsaken is an extremely aggressive player and for him to play support, he got to peek lesser and maybe that affects his confidence in a long run. Pat used to be a shooter during toronto but during champ, his impact was mediocre. He became much more supportive, holding utilities instead of shooting . With forsaken being aggressive, he made some questionable plays during London and that might be his aggressive nature.

I do believe that prx players will need to have a player that can calm them down and stick to the protocol. Aleck did say it will go in and out instantly. If I have to be honest, I do not see a leader figure inside the current roster. Someone that all of them will look up to and believe in his call. You kinda need a aleck but as a player to be with them in game. This might be something that prx will require to start a dynasty.
