NRG’s biggest problem

tldr: no fade = nrg struggle

Is brawk not playing fade in this map pool, it limits a lot of their flexibility and we’ve seen that during santiago (split, corrode and bind) and now yesterday when they played split vs FURIA where he had to play deadlock and Ethan on Skye. Yes it might impact his individual performance but it’ll be better in the long run for this team if they can implement Fade into their comps.

Currently 4/7 maps in the map pool are heavily favored towards Fade (Lotus, Bind, Fracture and Split), one 50/50 map (Pearl) and two Sova maps (Breeze and Haven). We are even seeing her get play on maps like Haven.

In my opinion, one of the reasons NRG were successful because the map pool at champs heavily leaned towards Sova which made Brawk consistently be a menace in nearly every game they played.

NRG DOWNFALL YESSSSSS EVERYONE CHEER !!!!

Acting like 100T have improved over here, although it would be nice for them to make an international.

They always look good against worse competition, I want it to translate to other teams

The only other great teams in their group is FURIA and NRG, I would say KRU but I still don’t know what to think of them

I think they’ll show up vs them

Brawk can play Fade, no problem I think. Can they play more Vyse Neon Phoenix Harbor though is the question. MIBR double duelist with Neon Raze wasn't bad and can work with NRG too.
Curious to see how Bonkar wants to play this split out.

The last time brawk played fade in an official was vs G2 in stage 2

i agree but they seem very reluctant to putting him on fade. this map pool isn’t great for sova so i predict they will struggle unless they implement fade

Either Brawk or Ethan can pivot. They're both smart enough players able to play Fade.

its lit always like this, good vs shit teams and chokes vs better teams,]

Need to bring chet back as bonkar is fraud, can't even utilize double duelist when he got the best duelist on team with mada

Chet would make ethan the duelist

Their buffets problem is them being sponsored by US military

bruh everyone looks good against EG, 100T are just gonna do their usual stint where they look good (against shit teams) then just immediately fail (vs actual good teams).
they say its always the hope that kills you

they still lost

waseetali9 [#23]

they still lost

so why we blaming brawk when he wasn’t the reason they lost

if anything it wasn’t the fact his odin didn’t have value, it was the fact they put him on deadlock

true but countering the meta is your identity so you cant play skye or neon can you?

Countering the meta is different from making someone first-time deadlock for no reason
