brawk (nrg fans)

his odin is thickening we must abuse this vs kru its the only way to cope

lotus is their best map and its an odin map and its also one of our best

didn’t seem to favor us very well when we played them last time

then again, last time mada was pretty much fulltime shotgun so perhaps things are different here

he's also thicc

Last time NRG played KRU they forced the neon-shotgun stuff on mada and you could visibly tell he wasn’t comfortable on it. Once they moved away from that and let him play more naturally, his fragging immediately improved. Yeah it was against lower table teams, but improvement is still improvement.
One thing about NRG is they rarely hard-force the current meta unless it becomes unavoidable. They usually prefer creating their own look instead of copying everyone else’s comps. If they come in with better prep and comfort picks this time, I genuinely think they can take it even on Lotus despite it being KRU’s map.

we gotta rage odin on lotus...it's the only way we beat the lotus one trick team

Both NRG and KRU are good on LOTUS and HAVEN, mid-good on BREEZE, mid on SPLIT
and unknown on ASCENT FRACTURE PEARL

If NRG is to win, skuba gotta get active - he's been very very quiet this stage 1.
