i wouldnt be surprised if bonkar didnt ban pearl cause he thought since he beat us at ewc he could do it again
NRG should’ve lost pearl against LEV the first time
every win no matter how bad the opponent is or the circumstances surrounding the win just reinforces in bonkar’s head that we’re good on this map when No We Are Not
might mirror the loud champions curse
went super deep at the first event of the year
grouped at the second
ah yes its the coaches fault mada cant shoot his gun and ethan has dogshit calling, have you considered the reason the veto looks weird is actually that NRG just have a shit map pool and pearl is the only map they have been consistently winning on?
lev beat g2 13-11 with one pistol
nrg beat g2 13-10 with 2 pistols
if you assume 1 pistol for each team (as is expected) then lev haven > g2 haven, as the match shows, wheras if nrg lose a pistol vs g2, they likely lose that game, or it goes ot, now, im assuming that bonkar has more information to go off and is confirming this with scrim data, but the only data we have shows lev haven > nrg haven

The only time NRG has lost Haven this year was against PRX in Santiago and that was a 13-11 where f0rsakeN bailed them out
it is one of their best maps if not their best, and LEV dropped haven to both MIBR and LOUD (amongst others)
they win the series if they play haven.

and you think this is the comp they will play?
and forsaken did not "bail them out" your team won double pistol and still lost nrg were clearly the worse team
Yes, he did; he pulled off a miracle ace and kept it from going OT (which NRG are notoriously very good in), and even THEN this is they only loss on the map this year
NRG are undefeated on their current haven comp if you wanna talk about comps lol
they were on a downward trajectory once teams figured out how to beat them on pearl
breeze haven lotus are their best maps alongside fracture which is decent, it’s not a coincidence that nrg had that little streak the moment they stopped getting pearl
