PRX’s impressive run to the VCT Masters finals has captured global attention. It’s rare to see an Asian team come this close to clinching a title in shooter games. While PRX has previously reached the finals, they’ve once again failed to close it out and win the tournament.
With the season concluded, what lies ahead for PRX? Roster changes seem imminent. Let’s delve into the potential transformations PRX might undergo.
Teams like Fnatic and DRX can think about making changes to their rosters to improve their chances, but PRX is at a major crossroads. Benkai’s leaving PRX and Jing’s possible retirement leave the team with big holes.
Many people think that the grand finals were the end of Jing’s time with PRX. Even though there have been rumours that he might come back after his military service, the word on the street in Singapore is that he might move into academia.
From Almost Champions to Reinvention: PRX’s Next Steps After VCT Masters
Now that Benkai and Jing are out of the picture, the focus is on who could take their place. Step in Egoist. Two years ago, he was the best player in Southeast Asia. His career was briefly put on hold while he did his military service.
Egoist is a good choice because it just came back and used to be on PRX. Even though his recent performance doesn’t show how strong Jing is, PRX can take advantage of his consistency.
But now that Egoist is back, PRX has to deal with competition. Bleed, which has more money, could also be interested in Egoist’s skills. This forces Egoist to make a very important choice: the allure of winning championships with PRX or the possibility of a bigger paycheck from Bleed?
If Egoist decides not to join PRX, Monyet from the old Global Esports and xccurate, a well-known figure in the CS pro scene, could take his place. There’s also “yay,” but since he’s currently unemployed, that’s just a guess.
But as we think about replacements, another big question is looming. Ilya “something” Petrovic, who has been with PRX for a long time, recently hinted that he might move to another region. Even though he seems happy with PRX right now, a string of failures could make him change his mind.
The future of PRX depends on a lot of things. Its management’s ability to find talented people is what led to the team’s impressive roster. They’ve dealt with problems before, and there’s hope that they’ll be able to handle the ones they’re facing now.
