By this time, DRG will have grown to maximum power (over 9000 btw) and will be able to easily brush over nova.
Lt and JKH will have COOKED up some incredible set plays, comps, and lineups for the greatest roster of all time
(Nicc, Vo0kashu, Tvirusluke, Flex1n and most importantly the cracked rookie spiritz1) to flawlessly execute.

DRG 2-0

Wolves cant win in football, no shot they are beating the GOATS DRG. I'm sorry tmv but your team is nothing but frauds.

DRG2-1
Spiritz1 wins 3 1v5s
Vo0kashu farms lysoar
Flex1n flexes all over the place
Nicc never dies
Tvirusluke runs around doing 790s and head taps everyone with an outlaw

DRG finally seems to have a consistent smokes player in Flex1n and SpiritZ1 is pretty good. I will say DRG 2-1, but 3/5 DRG players are still inconsistent.
Luke does look more consistent than last year though.

DRG's roster is a clear improvement from last year but they still feel like an inconsistent team. I'm feeling a NOVA 2-1 win.

Even though Nova Esports was in better form, I think the experience factor was successful in this match and the winner will be Dragon Ranger Gaming, and the MVP of the match was Flex1n.

nah, drg just has better teamwork. when nova's aim off, they are pretty bad

Honestly, this is what I've been saying. I think NOVA has some cracked players but when they're not playing at their peak the team just kind of falls flat. They're a mid table team right now that have yet to break through with a big win.

I'm honestly impressed with DRG, they have a huge chance to beat FPX I think
