So MIBR = NRG?

you cant just say 'in theory' without proving a point. here i'll show you.
In theory, NRG should be better than LOUD because in their first match against FURIA, NRG recycled their old comps from last year and showed very few set plays or ideas. NRG was very clearly saving strats against a team they still beat easily. LOUD had to show their new ascent comp against SEN map 2 since map 1 was close. Map 1 would've gone to OT if saadhak didnt have two incredible rounds at 11-11 and 11-12. Even though SEN was a tougher opponent than FURIA, its clear that NRG wasn't going all out and still dominated a decent team.
