there was a 2025 international tournament PRX came fourth in, in groups first playing against the CN team, then the EMEA team, going 2-0 in groups, then beating an American team in playoffs, before losing to Fnatic 1-2, then losing to a Korean team 0-2 to get 4th place, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird it happened twice
i wholeheartedly believe if paris final boss hadnt been sick during playoffs nrg would be largely irrelevant on this site, if not maybe a better gx
boaster -35 didn’t help too
alfajer's illness is bad luck but boaster -35 is not that unusual so that was always part of the FNC package
it’s a huge loss of firepower in alfa being under par which worsens the impact of boaster not fragging
im not blaming alfa for being sick, no one can control that, but that undoubtedly is the biggest reason why this match was even close
i guarantee you if toronto alfa was at champs gf its 3-1 to fnatic easily
maybe
NRG would still take Corrode and Lotus I think, but I can see FNC comeback with Abyss, Ascent, and Sunset
But i guess we will never know
None of the maps NRG won were even close. I don’t think Alfa not having been sick would’ve changed that
