Head-to-head
Past Matches
I would like to personally congratulate you on correctly getting the matchup. I wish for your prediction to be accurate as well
NRG WIN MFS FNS DONT LOSE
Cant judge how good Giants were based on the DFM match but cant underestimate them
NRG 2 - 1 . If FNS continues to call like he does i can't see them losing feels like old optic again.
nrg 2-0 giants
this isnt even a question
thank god this waste of a match is on friday
so i dont have to worry about skipping it
wish nrg was koi tho :(
hoping GIANTS lose just so i dont have to see that god awful burger king/subway jersey for any more games
is it too late to submit my pickems? im new to site, did i have to make them before tournament started? or am i just dumb and not clicking something right? thanks
yeah it is late :( . The pickems selection finishes once the tournament start, so you can`t change anything
but you can still pickems for omega group ig

Cloud looked really impressive to me. I think this is a 3 mapper all the way. I'll take the NA team though.
Giants has to be smart in the maps they should ban they know NRG had less time to prep than them.
Giants have got a balanced team unlike KOI which dependent on Sheydos and Trexx. Also they have a better igl.
it's hard to pick against big brain pujan. so NRG 2-1 Giants at the very least.
I think GIA have a lot of potential, but let's be real; they are not beating NRG.
- They played DFM, who currently look like the weakest partnership team rn
- If NRG can beat KOI, the team many considered a darkhorse (including myself), they can beat Giants.
NRG 2-1
I would agree with this.
My only counter would be if Cloud and Nukkye go on an absolute tear and aim dif NRG's two big hitters - adriis and s0m.
Nukkye is yet to show up in full form. Cloud was a demon in their first map, but then dropped off. It's hard to say what form they will be in. I just feel the potential is there.
Strategically, NRG are in a stronger position - they should win - but IF they loose, it will be on straightforward aim duels.
pls NRG win if i lose my perfect pick'em ill end it all it means everything to me
WHAT'S UP DUDES 😃 😀I JUST WANNA 🤓😅 GIVE A QUICK REMINDER ⏰⌚ IF YOU HAVEN'T HIT 😏🤜▶️ THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON ▶️😁 SMASH 👊 THAT SHIT 💪😎 RIGHT NOW 🤗😍 I APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT ❤️❤️ YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST 🥰😘
Its just a heavy controlling comp, the idea is to take map control and play slow
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
NRG pick Lotus
nrg gonna comeback easily now 4 on defense lotus more than enough, they should smash those overrated emea players into oblivation
just hold the flank every round and you get a free FNS kill, giants have got the flank down
Was bit worried after fns did that comeback , but so glad giants pulled it back. They deserved this map . Insane Retakes!!
I think NRG wants to test Lotus. Those strats are just default. Victor is being food rn too. Nice fake comeback tho.
F1tinho holy shit. I'll never doubt you again (ok maybe fix jett a lil bit more). Also I believed in GIANTS letsgooo, one more map
NRG gonna comeback on m2 1-1 100% :)
dont be to excited early on emea fanboys
Imagine playing the game of your entire career map 1, then losing 13-1 next map. I'm too American, we are winning this shit
Definitely a comp diff. They have to play jett on icebox instead of kayo who is huge on attack with his flashes and knife. XD
s0m is just too good. they break f1tinho so hard, he cant do anything right on icebox. NT EU.
GIMMEH MY MONNAYYYY NRG 2.60 AFTER MAP 1 EASY PEASYYY BYE BYEEEEE GIANTS, BURGERS FRYING UR BRAINSSSSS
bro the 3 best emea teams still havent played, we need to wait till top 4 to say something like that
So EZ. Such an L crowd cheering against their own region. Maybe they are afraid NRG will send LOUD packing next round.
L crowd fr - maybe they cheering for GIA bc of their brazil jersey colours LMAO
Jeez …Rhyme on -18 over all maps ! Terrible performance from Giants … icebox was horrible.
FNS used insane 5head strats against Burger Kings!!! It's super effective!! Foe Giants has fainted and sent home!!
respect for FNS. He just takes over the game with his strats and reads whenever the enemy IGL has less experience. Hopefully rhyme could learn from his mistakes today and become a better IGL with time.
