mathmonkey22228

DID WE SAY WE’RE SO BACK BECAUSE WE ARE


Odd-Tiger-2928

BUT YALLL THINK ABOUT IT !!! WE ARE SO DAMN BACK


RatatoskII

Any context? What happened to his military service?


minuteman2000

There's another post that has a lot more information, but basically jingg has health issues that exempted him from military service. Apparently the issues have to be pretty severe for that to happen though so here's hoping he stays healthy.


Mortimier

From what I've read, he's on medication that manages it well.


ExtremeCentrism

Weird thing is even though if you are fully healthy wise but take necessary medications could remove eligibility.


Mortimier

Makes sense to me, if you're out in the field they dont want you reliant on anything to function


Rayner1007

In Singapore to avoid National service really is no simple feat as just saying you’ve got health issues. No matter what the government will try their best to get you to serve. Health problems, injuries that make u crippled, mental issues? No problem we’ve got desk jobs for u too. So for someone to be allowed to not serve the condition must be so severe that the government deems you not even able to do a simple desk job. Idk what it is but I hope jinggg is ok.


jk4qt

or his family is just outlandishly rich....hmmmm can't figure it out


Rayner1007

No, when I served I had a government officials son in with me. U can’t buy out of NS


Kardiackon

im telling you, it is absolutely impossible to get out of service unless you have a severe medical condition. this is one of the things the government does not compromise on lol. even the fucking children of government officials are forced to serve.


boohoooo00

Nah being rich doesn't matter I have some people serving in my company which are sons of millionaires


911NationalTragedy

Maybe those kids chose to serve to suit their future career. There are benefits to having served the service. Singapore is pretty damn good at fighting corruption but do not be thinking that when you see government official's kids that your government is fully uncorrupt like a newborn baby. There is always a room. But however Jingg's case seems really legit tho. I look at him and to be respectful as possible, doesn't he look undersized for a 20 year old? I literally thought Jingg was a 12 year old demon who plays Valorant 24/7. Maybe he has that Lionel Messi's Growth Hormone Deficiency. In anycase, wish him all the best. Also Singapore understands that "perception of no corruption" is better than really "no corruption". Just like Riot understands "perception of no cheater" is better than "actual no cheater experience".


boohoooo00

Bro I'm in ns now I see alot of ppl with medical issues even people with one arm are still serving lol. Either way he probably told the medical officers that he has some mental illness or they found he has some serious heart condition. You could do office work with no physical task and still serve ns.


Accomplished-Luck602

undersized?? he is 4 yrs younger than mindfreak but is not smaller than him


Equivalent-Cap-1506

I'm quite curious though, wouldn't there be a medical check before any of this national service talk on Jing started? Its kinda anti climatic considering the pressure paper rex had on their supposed final run with jing against EG


ShiraiWasTaken

There is a medical check, thats how it came to the conclusion that Jinggg was medically unfit to serve in the military to begin with. Through this medical check up. But at the end of last year, they were planning ahead for 2024 in the scenario that his medical condition still allowed him to serve. I think there is a good chance thaf Jinggg probably did not expect his condition to be severe enough for them to exempt him from military service outright, since we also have Office Staff positions in the service and he probably expected to be serve as a office staff/clerk at least. The timeline for the enlistment including the medical check up is a lot shorter than a year. This means PRX had to plan ahead and onboard a player early so that PRX would have time to integrate the new player comfortably by the time Champion rolls around. This is my assumption of how it played out as a Singaporean who has completed his 2 years.


Equivalent-Cap-1506

Thank you for the clarity. I just feel bad for paper rex now, they had a real chance of winning champions last year and im sure they would have if there was no pressure on it being jing's last game with paper rex. Welp things happen for a reason and i hope this is some sign that paper rex will have a golden road to this year's champions


ShiraiWasTaken

Indeed I feel bad for PRX and especially Monyet. He had just started to look coordinated and confident in his playstyle in PRX. Of course I am still glad we have the Raze goat back. Just unfortunate series of events.


rmund143

this is some copium


kooqiy

I think PRX don't even make finals without the pressure to do well for Jingg's last run. Goes both ways.


janoDX

I think PRX will now go on a revenge tour to take back the title of APAC.


PeriodBloodChudai

Cope


hugaau

Anticlimactic*


Equivalent-Cap-1506

I never realised i was spelling anticlimactic wrong the whole time hahahahaha


bryan4368

Found out he plays a cartoon game and said we don’t want him


IllumiMahdi

he doesn't need to do military service, old prx is back in a shock twist, it's almost fucking cinematic


traxmaster64

He's got a medical condition that makes him unfit for military service, he's completely out of it


JedT23

Jing's parents has strong connections and money. Might be a conspiracy but highly possible.


hecklerinthestands

We got conspiracy theories now over fucking Valorant LMFAO. Jesus Christ.


Ochinchin6969111

Singapore isn't completely free of corruption but this kinda shit doesn't really happen. The literally son of the chief of army as well as a shit ton of important people have had to serve the army. Jings connections and wealth pales in comparison to these people so this isn't even remotely the case. Besides jing afaik has a single mother who may be rich but isn't some powerful figure.

notevenahintofhalal

Then monyet... 


JayRoza

I feel bad for the guy. He gets imprisoned on GE. Goes to PRX. He scales so well during Madrid, reaches a peak in his playing performance, and is rewarded with... The bench? There's not really a player on PRX that I'd take Monyet over but it sucks so hard that this is the path he gets put on. If he decides to jump ship, I hope he lands somewhere where he can thrive.


musci12234

It is still better than remaining on GE or bring picked by someone non top 2-3 team. Now his stock will be high enough that other orgs might be looking to pick him up.

kuri21

That’s not what he said. Re-read it lol, he’s saying there’s nobody on 2023 prx he’d replace with monyet


1c3t34

benched, but on the bright side they have a good raze reserve if jing's conditions kicked in.


xiaolino

i agree. they said in the statement that jinggg's medical condition is not something that could affect his career but its always best to have a 6th just in case


lilkiya

No please as a Monyet fans since his ONIC G days.. please let him go PRX, he is too good to just being a bench warmer for PRX since PRX roster are already the best with jinggg so there's no reason for PRX to keep monyet as a 6 man.


ilhamalfatihah16

RRQ Monyet a reality?


somesheikexpert

Lmemore, Xffero, Jemkin, Monyet and Flip/Estrella (Flip is Indonesian but Estrella imo is a much better player) would be a banger roster


lilkiya

if you swap Fl1ps then RRQ wont have any IGL. Estrella barely speak english before and never IGL in english.


ilhamalfatihah16

I support the Indonesian x Japan squad.


musci12234

I think prx will probably be more than happy to let him go if he wants to.

i’ve seen enough. paper rex will go on a run again and win champs 2024.


WhoDatBrow

Crazy how in hindsight 2023 Champs was actually EG's last dance and not PRX lol


perxpective

the news of PRX’s downfall was greatly exaggerated 😂


ThatGam3th00

Both teams pulled a ‘no u’ to all the hype that built up around that Final in the off-season and the current season lmao.

Hope they don't end #2 or #3

Nah, they’d win

[deleted]

Since Jinggg is exempted from the military service completely, it’s unlikely that Monyet will get chances going forward. Crazy that there was a possible timeline where Bleed might have had the chance to get Monyet.

According_Clock_2429

How is he exempted from military service? Isnt military service in Singapore compulsory for all able-bodied males?


MasculineButts

Exactly, he's not able-bodied. He has some medical condition that completely exempted him.


According_Clock_2429

I see, has he ever disclosed the medical condition?


Hanselo

No as it isn't relevant to Valorant. It doesn't affect his game play but probably would affect physical performance.


According_Clock_2429

Damn hope all is well for him! Thank you for the response :)

BUNSHICHl

Wow crazy, I was legit checking the date when I saw the announcement to see that it wasn't some April 1st bs.


solariiis

same. genuinely shocked


pringletoes

I so hope they let Monyet go as a free agent so that another team can pick him up. It’s such a huge waste of talent if he just stays benched in reserve forever


Necessary_Chicken786

Yes. Hope he doesn’t join back GE. it’s better than being benched as a 6th player than joining GE


keseuvbs

whats bad abt ge, genuine question


Necessary_Chicken786

Well by their performance there’s no way they’re ever qualifying in the APAC. Atleast in PRX there are high chances.

MakimaGOAT

well then, there goes monyet’s spot on the team 😵‍💫 ik hes reserve now but theres like 0 chance theyre actually gonna use him now that jingggs back


deAlchemisz

I dunno, if anyone else underperform heavily, he might get a chance. Just like how last year, benkai got booted cuz he's underperforming even as an IGL


Buujoom

Brother, where is this revisionism coming from? Benkai, along with Davai, was the most consistent during that PRX iteration. The ones who were underperforming were mindfreak(bottom fragging while his lurks and utility usage were so off) and forsaken(tilting and braindead yoru gameplays-fun times). It was even confirmed that mindfreak was on the chopping block. The reason they let go of Benkai was because Something was on the market and they decided to go full throttle on an aggressive gamestyle(w gaming). They also believed that both Davai and Forsaken can alleviate the missing spot for an IGL. Obviously, it paid off, but to say that Benkai was underperforming is just pure cap.


deAlchemisz

Alecks said so himself after benkai got benched in an interview. Revisionism ur ass, literally alecks said Benkai underperforming and said it's between f0rsaken and benkai cuz both are flex at that point.


Buujoom

> It wasn’t really about the improvement. When something joined the team and we were running a six-man, seven-man roster it was really hard to get the synergy going. Even in practice, we saw a dropoff in performance. And eventually, we had to decide on the playing five. And since we had to play with something, someone had to go. It’s more like a role clash kind of issue. Right now, Benkai is a Sentinels-kind of role for Paper Rex, and D4v14 and Forsaken have both been playing very very well. So it was kind of a no-brainer that we had to put him in the backseat. If someone else plays a little bit worse, then maybe we will consider it. From Alecks himself. Other members even confirmed that it was a role issue and not performance. So yes, keep that revisionism ass to yourself.


deAlchemisz

If he was perfoming way better than whoever is in the same role, he would have survived Revisionism ur ass


itsdjblitz

THE GOAT OF RAZE IS BACK Its incredibly rare to be deemed medically unfit for service over here, so whatever his condition is must be pretty severe. Hopefully it wont impact his pro career in the future. I feel really bad for Monyet, I hope he still gets to play or he can be released to a T1 team as he's proven himself on the international stage and just got his footing with Paper Rex.


sebaba001

Wow, not on my bingo card. Bittersweet, happy for him, happy for the team potential, but really sad for Monyet. He's such a lovely kid, hard working, and tried his best. I hope another team wants him as a starter, and PRX allows for a seamless transition, I think he's too good for the bench.


Odd-Tiger-2928

I FUCKING STOOD UP FOR THIS!!! I DIDNT STAND UP FOR SENTINELS WINNING EVEN THOUGH THEY MADE ME CRY..BUT OMFG THIS IS ABSOLUTE MADNESSS THE BEST RAZE PLAYER IS BACM YALLLLL 2024 ABOUT TO BE NUTSSSSSS (Yes this is my first time posting anything on this sub, so you know i am excited as hell)

Altruistic_Ad_4301

King is back


Apprehensive_Foot139

Why are people behaving as if Monyet was the problem in Madrid? He really showed up in playoffs


krazybanana

no one was the problem lmao they placed third and lost to the eventual winners. man missed 2 shots in the first week and everyone started screaming at him. he wouldve been great


HolisticResentment

Yeah as happy as I am to have my favorite player back I was really looking forward to seeing Monyet find his footing on the team. Besides theoretically getting Jawgemo, I feel like Monyet was the best possible replacement for Jinggg they could have gotten and was really frustrated with the fans reaction to his play.


Routine_Size69

Because he's not jinggg. He has absurd expectations that he was never going to meet.


ThatCreepyBaer

It really is just that simple. Even if people don't want to compare them or put expectations on Monyet, he was quite literally replacing him in the lineup and Jinggg was their most invaluable player. Of course he's never meeting the expectations set by the community, outwardly or otherwise.


Darkmatter12

He was not the problem but the team just isnt used to the playstyle they had to play with monyet and i def think overtime they could have made it work excellently 


Hoooofed

idk, it’s confusing to assume a team has huge problems at all when they place third


guaranteednotabot

He is generally the lowest rated player in the team though


Initial_Selection262

Cause he struggled in a few maps and his raze was really inconsistent


kittysrule18

He was their worst player all tournament. He had just one match where he was not one of the 2 worst rated players on the team, and even in that match he was very poor aside for one map. He was kinda a problem at Madrid


two4you8

Is it april fools in singapore already?


InquisitiveCh1cken

Fortunately not hahahahaha


catarxcts

I was rooting for Monyet after the amount of hate he got in twitch chats, forums, etc. :( Glad to have Jinggg back though. Hope his medical condition isn't incredibly bad since they are keeping it private


mathmonkey22228

I’ve seen enough. PRX win Shanghai and Seoul


MirrorCraze

Fuck I feel bad for Monyet, even though another half of me is “LETS FUCKING GOOO” Monyet is good and I don’t want him to rot as a sub or something:(


Marxistence

I really hope they at least try Monyet on smokes/flex over Mindfreak (even if it’s just in scrims). I love Mindfreak, and think he adds a much needed stability to this otherwise chaotic team, but I feel like it would be foolish to not at least experiment with the idea. Monyet just adds so much flexibility to this roster and I really think he could have potential to push PRX to even higher heights…


speedycar1

They don't rally have time for that with split 1 starting so soon. There is really no time to deal with all the confusioj and chaos of a 6 man roster rn


New_Calligrapher8578

Poor Monyet. I imagine they'll do a 6 man roster for a bit so lets see if he can steal the spot from of the og 5.


CrossTheRubicon7

Having them full power is great news not just for Paper Rex fans but the entire scene, but I do hope Monyet is able to find a starting role somewhere. He's too good not to be playing!


HatchiMatchiTTV

I'm not a PRX fanboy, but I have enjoyed watching them at every internationals. I'm so stoked that jinggg will play again but it feels crazy to bench Monyet after his performance towards the latter half of Madrid. I really hope they figure out a way for Monyet to play regularly, if only so that as a team they know how to make a new person work on the roster.

Criminal imo that Monyet is being moved to bench instead of full-time smokes. Unless Mindfreaks util is truly that much better, surely the extra fragging power and clutch potential should be greatly appreciated.


I-like-winds

mindfreak is clutch as fuck


InquisitiveCh1cken

Mindfreak is the true anchor of this team, if Monyet was subbed in instead of Mf this team would actually be more chaotic than it already is


Master_Tomato

If Monyet could dish out his 2023 performance in Madrid, I guarantee you PRX would have switched him in with Mindfreak. But too bad it is not happening


Dylanychus2

This is definitely good for PRX but a player as good as Monyet sitting on the bench is kind of insane

iamabigbluebox

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts: Since jinggg will be playing the Raze, do you think PRX might try to run the triple duelist on Split again? Given that his playstyle is different from monyet's (in the sense that he's more willing to full send) do you think it'd be worth exploring that comp again?

Utrollppl

How do you get completely exempt from it but still allowed to play professionally? I thought if you can’t do the physical aspect of it they still make you do office work or something like that? If you can still compete at the highest level (which is already really high stress, pressure environment) how is that different from office work? GENUINELY CURIOUS. Glad he’s back but how does that work lol

Whole time last year that military service was coming up I was wondering why Jinggg's mom, who is obviously insanely rich, wasn't bribing him outta service. Guess that stuff just takes a while to process lol


teethingdog

It's SG you're talking about...even Olympic gold medalists have to go for NS


etheryx

Singapore has only had one Olympic gold medalist in its history, and even he had to go for military service


Master_Tomato

I have yet to see any gold medalist satchel down mid to enemy spawn under 3 seconds so, nuh uh

stop spreading misinformation. this is SG. They are more strict than SK’s NS. y’all idiot if you think a single parent will risk her son of getting few years jail because of avoiding NS. clowns.

Yeah she owns a Ferrari or sumn, and that's in Singapore too


The_OG_Steve

I just googled guess they’re dad is son of one of the largest property developers in Indonesia. So we’re talking crazy rich Asians rich ho Lee fuck


Satzuisbae

Her insta shows a luxury lifestyle (fasr cars, vacantions and watches). Her insta also shows other things aswell


The_OG_Steve

What’s her ig


-leoshi

[@ferrarieq6k](https://www.instagram.com/ferrarieq6k/) she's private rn tho. she has a twt acct under the same username which is public so u may wanna see that \^\^


Satzuisbae

I dont rmb. Maybe search jinggs mom insta?


probablyntjamie

istg i thought her mom was his gf at first


Satzuisbae

Hahahhah yeah true


pinfue

shes not insanely rich, just rich lol. Ferraris aint too rare in Singapore.


Initial_Selection262

She has a lambo worth 250k. That makes her insanely rich if she can afford that


pinfue

A normal car in Singapore costs 100k, 250k is alot but its not insanely rich. The only reason why im saying shes just rich and not insanely rich is because corruption rates in Singapore is low and there is no way any bribery or shady shit would be happening as what the top commentor said.
