NRG unproven | VLR.gg

Can someone actually show the rationality behind calling NRG a superteam at this point in the tournament?

Cuz I didn't see anything special about NRG on their matches. Demon1 is doing the usual of playing a cracked game but the other guys just seem to have their aim steady.

I haven't seen any tactics or mega reads on their part, no comp cooking or execute plays that are insane.

They just seem .... Good. Like. They seem good at doing the basics, but I don't see any spice from them.

I'm not saying they are bad, but they don't seem to have what other top contender teams have. Hell, Fnatic and Loud have high level teamplay, Loud specifically has incredible meta knowledge, Sentinels has insane pop off potential, EDG is just nasty insane, GenG also looks coordinated in a unpredictable fashion.

Why?
Why is NRG a superteam? What's special about them???

superteam on paper (all players are major winning proven players)
they SHOULD be good, and if they don't win a major its a flop

True, a real superteam should hold each other's hands and slow walk around the map together

fnatic played the entirety of last year like that and did great, I feel like when your players are that good sticking to the basics might be the best option (though fnatic's underperformance in champs does raise questions)

Bro crashies is still playing sova and he knows how to playe viper what are these narratives

And victor is a sentinel main he played sentinel every map

Marved clears s0m and even if you think s0m is better s0m isn’t in vct rn so marved is the best

wasn't n4rrate the backup to demon1?
and Boo brothers dropping 100 kills in 2 maps, NRG would be lucky to win a trophy this year

Less?
Cauanzin?

Tuyz?
Saadhak?
Zellsis?
Kingg?
Sacy?

All these guys in their respective roles are better on paper than NRG

On paper they look incredible, but to your point about them not having "spice". I don't think they need "spice", they're all championship winning players, I think as long as they nail the fundamentals, they'll probably do great-- I don't think they need to do much at all to succeed, and I wouldn't doubt that they probably have been cooking stuff up, they just haven't shown any of it because they played against a weak Furia and a middling Cloud9. It's as if we know as much about them as we did before kick off even started.

by names they clear every team except loud and the other "superteam", Leviatán.

having ridiculous firepower and players that have been at the top of the game, there's a lot of expectations on them, that's pretty much what makes them "special"

Agree, they won against Furia and C9, they need to win a few tough matches to be called one of the best of Americas

And they struggled.. like,I know Loud always struggles no matter the match cuz they love to make us suffer, but you would think NRG, the team everyone's treating as the second coming of Christ would be doing numbers on these guys.
