LOUD recovered from early deficits on Split and Sunset to beat Paper Rex 2-0 and send the Asia-Pacific top seed into the lower bracket.

Read the full story. What do you think?

The funniest part is not even the scorelines, it's that Paper Rex won the opening pistol on both maps and still got flipped after halftime. That's a brutal way to lose control of a playoff series.

@broken_captain and both times the bonus got messy too, which is the real damage. once the economy swings that hard, PRX are suddenly forced into ugly rounds instead of their usual pace.

That, and LOUD actually had answers for the aggression instead of panicking. If your anti-eco and post-plant setups hold, PRX's pace looks way less scary.

'way less scary' is one way to put it. More like they got to play Valorant for the first half and then discovered the other team had remembered their utility binds.

The numbers nerd in me loves the symmetry though – 8-4, then 9-3, then both turn into seven-round runs after side swap. That's a very specific kind of collapse.
