PRX Mindfreak: Don’t even think about it, if you want 5A, we’ll just fight against each other
In the VCT 2023 Pacific league, DRX only lost 1 time, that was against Team Secret. And yesterday’s upper bracket final was their second defeat.
What made yesterday’s result so surprising was not because PRX beat DRX but how they won the match.
Paper Rex dominated DRX and won very easily, 13-5 in Fracture and 13-6 in Bind.
After the match, one of the Paper Rex stars, Mindfreak said they were also surprised by their performance. He didn’t know why they were so dominant and maybe DRX was experimenting too.
“We also don’t expect us to win against DRX, 13-6 and 13-5. I don’t expect either, I don’t know what they are saving strat for or what to do, but yeah, we’ll just take it” said Mindfreak.
The player named Aaron Leonhart also explained how their game was different in this match compared to the previous one. He said that this time they were playing their very aggressive gameplay.
“To be honest, maybe when we play in the league, against DRX, we are more inclined to adapt to how they play. Luckily today is the fifth day: Yes, what have you done, it’s just been cut off like that. You don’t have to think about it, if you want 5A, we’ll just fight against each other.” Aaron closed.

Apart from that, other PRX players from f0rsakeN also felt that DRX was not that serious in this match, but he was also very happy with the team’s performance and communication.
“On the first map (Fracture), I thought DRX didn’t play seriously against us, that’s just my opinion. But I think today to be honest our team’s performance, the aim was really good, we were like on fire, our teamwork and communication was very good. I think that’s also the reason why we were able to beat DRX.” f0rsakeN said.

The star from Indonesia also said that they would not underestimate anyone in the league and also that in the Grand Final they would meet DRX again. Their target is to win the league.
“We may see DRX again. Our goal in the Grand Finals is to beat them one more time and become the kings of the pacific, to be number 1.” said the player with the name Jason Susanto.
