As an APAC viewer, these two teams are my favourite rivals.
DRX = play by the book methodical team
PRX = aggressive and unpredictable team
PRX = Burn the book, and write from its ash
OG clash was PRX vs Zeta. W gaming vs S gaming

they dont know a book exists
Literally boomers vs Gen-z/Millenials.
so basically a Defensive RX versus a Pushing RX
I love this
LMAO 😂

5:55 I think this part of execution is worth mentioning. They used both skye and reyna flash together, making enemies overwhelmed and not break the reyna flash
is it just me or i dont see a skye flash that's a kayo flash, skye used dog and also didn't have flash it was just reyna's
@@mawnns just you
@@farisimran4588 nah u can see stax used a flash before he dies and d4v41 doesnt even have a flash
that's a team flash
and davai doesn't have a bird
@@farisimran4588 no it was kayo's flash, davai didnt have his flash at the time
In paper rex's game smokes are merely a suggestion, a suggestion that they promptly ignore.
Smokes to PRX player is like Road sign to SE-Asians, they don't care.

DRX= The people who actually studied for the exam and has all the answers written down.
PRX= The team that has the future exam.
PRX = the team that studies on the day of the exam😂
@@satinjaz6637you mean the team that didnt study at all and simply wing it with logic and still get an A
I have been a fan of PRX since last year. Poeple who don't know whats going in PRX match might not pay attention to every utilities. PRX tend to use combos and layers of utilities and combining it with fast paced gameplay. If it works it looks like a stomped, if its fail they looks like they trolling 😂. But thats why I love PRX.
"we are not PRX if we are not trolling, right?"

Riot: "Another reason to nerf Viper!"
Chamber*
Please do viper has been at the centre of every miserable meta just kill her for a few months
Viper is still perfectly viable for SoloQ in all ranks, stop crying
True! i hate that these morons continue to nerf viper which need a whole lot of brain to have any value walls, lineups, one way, rat ults and on the other side reyna noobs just run and gun , flash and kill.
@GuyWhoseAGamer bro you've literally admitted to being silver/bronze, pipe down
I'll say it again, if Buzz wasn't on god mode that ascent map, PRX would have won comfortably with their reyna harbor comp.
Indeed
It will be 3-1
Once buzz got his hands on op, they just couldnt entry. There was always those small mistakes like there's a gap in harbors wall or half blinds.
Every SEA teams you see on pro scene is unpredictable, they always go with the flow. PRX is just that flexible to the point where they can exploit every possibility that comes their way.
Except team secret they are just bad at the game and no new strats 😂 no wonder prx are demolishing them as well as other apac teams 😂
@@jjcrpytaps5271 team secret beat prx, just wanna add that in
paper rex are easily next level valorant they are soo good at the game, insanely fun to watch, they are already beyond all of the other teams! no matter they win or lose they are the main event!!
these guys are insane they literally unlocked Valorant premium because myself and other teams/players are defiantly not using these harbour walls they’ve created , these new variation of walls are defianitely becoming a new meta and I can’t wait to see what other walls some teams find😂
hey brotherman, just wanted you to know that defiantly is a completely different word from definitely, best way to remember is to type out "DEFINITE" and then just ly at the end. Good luck out there!

It’s clear paperX is pushing to innovate with more on the fly protocols and tactics. This reminds me of VirtusPro execs and Astralis style gameplay. Or before my time Korean 1.6 execs.
Also the reason these teams respects smokes so much is because there hasn’t been enough innovative smoke pushes yet. Biggest issue with disrespecting smokes is the punish. We will see if this is sustainable in time.
This was a great video. Can you dedicate another video to utilizing smokes in less common ways? (smoking early for map control, smoking in the middle of the open for your team to work around, lurk smokes) I personally think that smoke players feel typically locked in to doing one setup every time that might not always be the best, especially on attack.
YES, I SECOND THIS!!
Yes, I would love this as well!
WHATS THE PLAN ?
PRX: "Yes"
in modern chess, at elite level, Opening theory is quite "resolved", so the new chess era is about know some strage line that is not the most eficcient, but the one that your rival doesn´t know
This is a great video! As a bronze stuck, I've always wondered why teams never take sites in small pieces, and when they do they just dry peak the rest of the site or waste 20secs without planting etc
the ending speech was so well done, thats exactly what siege is about and i miss it
i wish there are more teams like paper rex, where they have good aim and also take different strat approach to the game.
I spent forever on this. Subscribe or everyone will pick Reyna in your next game.
Jokes on you, they instalock it anyhow. Every. Single. Game.
Probably should have focused on how the smoke power creep changed the meta. Having multiple agents that can cut off large parts of the site is what changed. Using smokes to break up a site, force players to move, and pushing through them with flashes is all standard play. Watch a CSGO game from a decade ago and you'll see all of this. Only thing you talked about that was interesting is using ults to go on the offensive while on the defender side.
As a Skye player, I'm ok with this!
Very well made video. PRX is such a fun team to watch.
It seems to me even though they are playing on the old patch, it FEELS like they're playing on the LATEST one with the way they section off fights with util.
Its fun to watch PRX, FNC and TL breaking and cooking up new meta
The best is, before reyna dismiss duration over, they use smoke for cover. And that timing is perfect....
Really awesome matchup to watch. The methodical, classical style of play DRX follows versus the crazy, fast-paced and unpredicable style of play that PRX follows.
it rly is one of the el classico of valorant with optic and loud
This is very well explained and is very helpful for those players who just have been playing the default strat ever since.
Great Video. Even with something out, they still were able to beat DRX handedly. To me, it seems like this type of playstyle works really well to win those 50/50 rounds that so often decide games. This video and their recent performances lowkey making me a PRX fan now
I'm not a fan of valorant, im more CSGO but I love this playstyle for every game I play. Being aggressive and unpredictable will almost always give you an advantage at least once, it adds a level of mind games that most opponents struggle to deal with properly and if you have good movement or aim then you can get into places that nobody would think of, and that goes for league, cs, or hunt. I'm glad to see valorant has a team doing something like this and keeps it interesting
Congratulations on 100k subscribers 🎉🎉
this is why we love paper rex so much
ive been doing this in comp. no one expects it. its also good to do when ppl molly and entrance depending of the situation
this gameplay reminds me of low gold plays… pushing through one ways and shit like that. Funny to see how effective it is, as it basically forces the other team to think in a completely new mindset
What they're doing imo is finding those 1-2 seconds when the enemy's guards are down and capitalizing on that
Smth's playstile is something like agression that you see in ranked games. I was always interested what happens if you coordiante competitive playstile into pro scene
I think at this point PRX is at least everyone's second favorite team
Damn this video was amazing big W
"Paper Rex are doing Something" 💀
DRX: “Cutely places smokes to discourage pushing”
PRX: we do a bidda trollin
We see last year how PRX execute yoru so well.. and that match againts FNATIC was hella of joy to watch
This is how most crazy Iron plays are done in the lower lobby LMAO. Its great when it works and when it doesn't its bad.
congrats on 100k
You should check out bronze/silver matches. You'd be surprised how many weird smokes and strats the teams there come up with
2:15 them reyna jugs 😂😂 respectfully.
2:22 "In DRX's game, smokes stop enemy player from going through. But in PRX's, smokes don't exist."
That reminds me of Stewie2K's early pro career era back in CSGO, always plays aggressive and try to push smokes when every player but him still have this mindset of 'if smokes are thrown, there's a probability that enemies are holding the angle on the other side' and most of the time rather to avoid it and play safe.
I can’t wait to see PRX v FNC at Tokyo. It’s going to be nuts
omfg they just like me fr T-T rushing everywhere like a madman
not alot of people talk about how they used harbor differently most of them talked about the reyna pick
think i found the team that fits me, man i do this shit on solo ranked just for myself sometimes it feels like lol
Kinda reminds me of old counter strike days when stewie2k used to always push a smoke and sometimes pop flash out the smoke. You just don't expect it sometimes. He used to be called the smoke criminal or something like that with videos showing streamers getting mad at him for pushing smokes.
Paper Rex team is like playing competiteve while otoher team play pro plaay basicly they just dont overthink stuff and just do simple but effective stuff and win , combine their utility
basicly pov radiant player play against silver players who have same skill as radiant but have difrent thinking
Where is the animation for that Reyna vs Yoru fight from ? It’s so cool ! 2:18
The Glazing is wild but its true
Paper Rex surprised play worked as well as it catches their opponents off guard yet Valorant should be played by adapting to both enemies and your teams strategies and that is the real way to play Valorant cos as the Agent pull gets bigger more combinations of skills will result in different plays and strategies and it will be harder to predict how plays will pan out.
the problem with using this strat in regular MM is that nobody expects their util to work in any rank. You can't just push smokes and catch people off guard. Its fun when it does work but its very rare
PRX is reminding me of Stewie2k. Before him smokes were walls in CSGO, people did not expect anyone to go through them unless absolutely necessary, then came this guy who will go straight through them as if they weren't a deterrent but a suggestion
Finally a Reyna playing like a Reyna
DRX fan here but i am really admire from what PRX bring to the table. They are the new king of Apac, but we are not gives up.
PRX having a extremely fleshed out development arc makes this anime we call valorant worth watching
Wow I just love prx more now I would fit perfect on that team
They really took the "overcome your limits" thing
I just love reyna in pro play. She’s a great agent with a lot of sustain and is the X factor
maybe this is the special apac playing style in SEA, I suggest you to watch the BOOM ESPORT VS DOMINATUS match, the play style is more or less the same.. I will really look forward to it.
Nice to see that no one will be able to say "noooo u need to play smart with util" what I've noticed is that val people dont expect a chamge on pace is always either slow or fast and when it happens u are caught pants down.
That's op. Nerf Chamber to balance things out
If you’re bad at the highest level then you’re good
SEE BRO THIS IS WHAT I TRY TO PREACH TO MY FRIENDS...there's a lot you can potentially discuss, but just that beginning line alone is how I try to "think outside the box" and shit in Valorant, he said "they play as if you cant walk through smokes, meanwhile reyna plays as if you can walk right through that shit" YES BRO, sometimes deception isn't doing a buncha shit at once, it's just doing that thing makes the enemy uncomfortable and they go "no they couldn't possibly be doing that, right?" 🔥
aleck's be like: "you go shut ur brain. just go brain dead"
the harbor ascent a site attack wall wont work in low elo, someone gonna have a judge, someone has a odin spamming a main, its gg
PRX hella fun to watch
took me a minute to realize that something was an actual player LOL
PRX are pioneers at this point because they do something that is unthinkable to do.
at 8:15, where do u find this data from?
Here we go boy
Man, maybe having fun really is the key :)
Finally my kind of team, prx
The unorthodox ability use
Now we wait for master tokyo playoffs to see what they cooking with cgrs on the squad 🤔
Reyna is agent you need in clutch situation and when something is playing it ..win win
"but prx says that shit is boring and rips a harbor ult into there spawn with a 4 man push" LMFAO
Meanwhile forsaken still stickin to harbor
"Offense is the best form of defense"
Need a video on demon1 gameplay
you forgot the reyna skye combo, either defenders break reyna eye and get flashed by the skye bird or they dodge the skye bird turn around and are flashed by the reyna eye
favorite team
It’s ridiculous to me that this is somehow revolutionary. Basically these lads are playing ranked in a pro environment.
Damn that player is really something
I’m all about creative off meta plays, so PRX is fun to watch shake things up
this is what i am saying to my team evry time : smoke are nothing, we can just flash and run site but i just got bait evry single time because my team stay main as i entry alone
i dont think ive ever focused for 9 straight minutes before like i did with this video
Plss, make a video about the chamber from loud vs nrg
This is the team i want to play with fr
Finally, harbor being used like a duelist/controller shows what it can really do
Initiator
While everyone else playing CS, Paper Rex playing Moba
coordinated rush b lol, basically sea playstyle across any fps game XD
Disrespecting utility and just run it down is just SEA style. In my ASC/IMM ranked games it’s common
It's has some iron style of push with all out abilities...
But WAY BETTER 😂
That wall on ascent is really unpredictable,
brimstone with the zestiest pose ever
The only Non-meta team that executes strats amazingly good. Yes! They figured how Valorant shpuld really be played.
This is why i use harbor in sectioning the site it is too strong now I accidentally use it most of the time before this happened
