Upwork’s PRX have pulled off what many thought couldn’t happen-toppling the top best team in the world amid one of the wildest and most fan-charged finishes ever. Clutch plays and heart-stopping comebacks end such a match in ways no one could ever imagine it ending. Some say that from that unprecedented triumph, PRX hasn’t had a moment of time to enjoy what the Internet is struggling with.
The most chaotic went down in the final moments. Picture this wild action thus; down to the wire, back against the wall; BAM, PRX does it in a way which cannot even be reasoned. You can see everything losing its comprehension the instant players land moves even impossible to make excuses for in the viral clip on social media. The reactions’ priceless: Twitch chat blew up, pros began tweeting their disbelief, and just like that, more TV casters went off mid-sentence.
What makes this madness even crazier is who they beat: there is no dispute at the top king of the scene, a team that has been slaughtering tournaments left, right, and center. PRX weren’t even supposed to be, like, in the conversation, let alone standing tall with the championship glory.
Some even say it is the biggest upset seen in the recent past, with some calling it a landmark moment for the team signaling its readiness for takeover by the undoubtedly underdogs. Quite honestly? That performance sounds quite plausible.
The aftermath has been just as mad: memes, just about every community member analyzing what happened, and some hot takes flooding our timelines, trying to figure out what occurred. Shoutout to the other team is big in a world where trash-talking is at its apex.
So what’s in store for PRX? If anything, this match made it clear that they aren’t here to play it safe. They’re here to stir up the pot, and if this is just the beginning, the rest of the competition better be very, very afraid.
For the time being though, the world is still regaining its breath, as things such as these, when a team goes all out on something so crazy, go beyond mere victory; they herald a moment. Moments like these? These are the things that make us love esports.
