I feel like they'd consistently get aim diffed by any of the top 4 teams (maybe besides DRX depending on the day) but they also can take down any of those teams bc their gameplans are so fcking good and they consistently step up when needed. Can't really have them as my favorites but also can't really say that they won't do shit, the outcome of their run is unpredictable for now imo
NRG are weird

i swear to god they are just prep diffing their way through this tournament right now
They can win the whole thing but at the same time i wouldn't be surprised if they go like 0-5 or 1-5 this weekend
If they make the gf they're kinda unbeatable bc the double ban will be insanely strong for them against anyone who isn't DRX
Not really
They ban Sunset = Fnatic perma ban anyways
They ban Bind = Fnatic has been losing Bind this tournament
Basically no advantage v Fnatic
Fnatic love Haven, Ascent and Lotus and have looked really good on Abyss so far and no one has dared to pick Corrode v them which they are undefeated on in EMEA
fnatic can play sunset, NRG can't, it's good for them anyway. Same for bind, fnatic are alr at bind, NRG are just trash level
So the rest of the map pool?
Haven Fnatic win
Ascent i favor Fnatic
Lotus 50/50
Corrode i favor NRG
Abyss 50/50
what makes you think that fnc win on haven? and Ascent? (especially ascent I think bonkar will anti the fuck out of them)
NRG just got cooked hard by Mibr on Haven and for Ascent sure you can trust Bonkar but i believe in Fnatic because they have way more reps on Ascent on the big stage v the best teams
Have NRG played Ascent this tournament?
But once again all these maps would be close so where is the advantage you're talking about?
that was just the mibr effect on enemy's map pick, you just can't win there. I honestly don't think fnc's haven is all that good (like it's good but not particularly scary)
And NRG have been very good at Ascent regionally, they've got great reads and imo the best understanding of defensive rotations. they could get outcalled on their attack but they haven't been so far on other maps so I don't see why it'd happen this time.
And the advantage obv comes via prep, they will have had more time and more vods, which is decisive for them, they're the team that benefits the most from it by far
I just can't believe we may live in a world where nrg make grand finals through upper bracket without playing bind or sunset one time. FNC need to pick bind just to see, I know mibr rolled them but the prx loss was a 13-10 after getting double bonused
the last few teams are going to lock in like never before they all want that 1 million prize purse. It is actually a lot nothing to frown about!
6/8 maps they won are all either OT or 13-11s ... only 2 maps they won were against gx
