pretty much done already with santiago top 3 no? how much more do they need to have dodged it?
champs curse is not a real thing don’t worry
eg has had terrible management for months, edg had internal conflicts which spiraled out of control, acend naturally fell off, s0m retired so nrg were forced to get a new player and got third at santiago playing off meta comps, loud did well the following year despite losing out on core players like sacy and pancada
nah loud got to the grand finals of lock in and then fell off then came back then fell off
ethan will be the best player in the game if he wins another trophy imo, esp if its another champs
I'd put them 2nd/3rd for a more serious answer. I think the only thing they're really lacking is longevity. I'd still put Boaster Alfa Chron over them because of 2 trophies and consistency over 2+ years after reaching 2 grands last year. Same reason i'd put PRX maybe 2nd over them, the core has consistently made grands for their whole career. I'd confidently give nrg 3rd, and i'd consider putting them 2nd.
Would have the best accolades oat but need to prove longevity before I could rank them above FNC
what is NRG's core? (assuming core means 3 players in this context) Ethan, Skuba, Mada? or Ethan, Brawk, Skuba? IMO being one of the best cores OAT means youd be able to put those 3 players with 2 others and be able to win a trophy, or at least consistently make internationals.
I suppose in NRG’s case it would be the core of Mada, Ethan, Brawk and Skuba
They lack longevity currently so even if they somehow win Santiago or London I would still put them below FNC and PRX
I would've said before he retired. s0m, Ethan, Brawk. Just because I feel like those 3 players were the foundations of that teams style/calling with skuba & mada able to just do whatever and win.
probably top 3? unless I'm really forgetting one, plus Ethan would be officially the goat
Fnatic (boaster, alfa, chron)
LOUD (aspas, Less, saadhak)
NRG (Ethan. brawk, mada, skuba)
and I'd put PRX (f0rsaken, jinggg, d4v41) in the convo but another tourney def puts NRG above them all-time
edit - I might be off the mark with loud ngl but that loud core just FEELS better yknow
id say Sacy, Saadhak, Less.
PRX are definitely ahead of current NRG atm (that core has been together for a long ass time, and made so many tournaments together. plus NRG's only made 2 so far.)
Plus on FNC's core, idk if this is really time orientated (longevity) but Leo, Chronicle, Alfa. Or Leo, Derke, Boaster would be my core for their best OAT.
(Leo & Derke were apparently mid rounding/calling a lot and with Boaster they probably made up all of the calls. And Leo, Chronicle, Alfa were just the best 3 in the team that helped the team win)
I chose Boaster Alfa Chron cause then it includes their two 2025 grand finals
i'd say kaajak & crashies helped a lot in those appearances. not saying they only got there because of them, but we saw that core in 2024 and they weren't their best. (because they kept elmapuddy for too long) so OAT id prefer Leo, Derke, Boaster or Leo, Chronicle, Alfa.
