KRU In Stage 1

#1

So since KRU's has visa problems in Kickoff, and they finally got approved in February. How strong do we realistically think they are and where do we place them in terms of 'power ranking'.

I see to be a strong upset team and I think their team chemistry is very fun, but I have no idea how they will adapt to this double duelist meta (I hope we see some balance changes going into Act 2).

I don't see them beating a majority of the teams within the Top 6 (FUR, G2, NRG, MIBR, C9, and 100T). However, I do think they could upset a team below the Top 6.

I don't think they'll see an international this year unfortunately

I am also excited, however, his more recent performances on KC were underwhelming. His Stage 2 stats are rough...

He did fine till Madrid, then a sudden downfall. LOUD hasn't recovered either

They've been training for six months bootcamped twice and have a shitton of material to antistrat everyone. If they don't make a top 5 at least Saadhak is a fraud

What's the split 2 format if it's 6 team groups into top 6 playoffs then surely krü makes it like 4-2

I don't know what happened to him since he left LOUD. He just has not been performing at the same level since them. I do hope bootcamping for 6 months pays off

Yeha no, i totally agree... Maybe an upset here and there. They're guaranteed 5 games but are in the group of death...
