The Semifinal Showdown: PRX vs Sentinels
The big moment came on June 16, when PRX took down North American favorites Sentinels 2-0 on Split (13-11) and Sunset (13-8). This wasn’t just a fluke, PRX played with fierce aggression and tied it all together with clutches.
-
Jinggg (Raze) went off with 39 kills across both maps (178.6 ACS).
-
New pickup PatMen (Fade) was a standout, with 34 kills and 205 ACS in previous Playoff matches—his signature 1v3 clutch versus G2 sealed that win.
What Gave PRX the Edge
1. Tight Aggressive Playstyle
Drawn from Pacific-level aggression, PRX’s duelist-heavy comps overwhelmed opponents with early-round pressure. Their intense map control and explosive plays gave them momentum from the start.
2. Utility Discipline
Head Coach f0rsakeN and IGL d4v41 orchestrated calm, disciplined mid-round executes, particularly post-pistol rounds. Their setups were clean, keeping Sentinels and G2 on their heels.
3. New Power Picks
Introducing Fade as a core agent added unpredictable utility. Combined with Jinggg's Raze flanks, PRX's lineup had both burst and map pressure—forcing enemies to react, not act
We finish #VALORANTMasters Toronto in First Place! 🥇
