Since the BBL match in Santiago they won very closely.Their next matches since then are pretty shaky.. The form seems inconsistent + mistakes keep occuring

Brawk plays well, it’s just the deadlock pick was really brainless

No, the deadlock pick made a lot of sense in the curent meta, puting your Sova one trick on it tho thats a different story

Nah brawl is a great sentinel player. If they’d just play Vase like everyone else they’d win. They destroyed the wall easily or brawl even misplaced the wall so they could went through it.

He just isnt, he never had 10% of the impact he has on Sova on any other agent, i'm ngl him being unable to play any other initiator at a t1 level is hurting NRG the same way aspas not being able to play Yoru was to mibr

He has the right to flex on the only MEMEA team to actually do some shit tbh.

No dive duelist no same formula to do some shit. They can't even make real changes by putting Benjy on smokes. Actual bum coaches.

It’s alright just teams have learned to deal with brawk and NRG playing different comps than the meta ones so they look shaky
Also them losing make it satisfy to watch the overconfident NRG fans in vlr coping

No not the same NS reverted back to playing double initiator which made them look bad in 2025 rather than sticking to the playstyle which was working for them

??? did you really think that NRG would manage to get anywhere?
It's just like EDG the previous year.

not really? their champs winning roster lost to 100T with kess at the beginning of stage 2 last year

not to mention they’ve never been the team to win clean matches, it’s always scrap fests

i won’t be worried until they start losing more

Let's see.. It's been one masters event ( top 3 finish btw but whatever ) and one single group stage match against the kick off winners ..

Yes, conclusion is that they fell off

#29

they barely qualified to champs over c9, did the same thing against non-EMEA teams at that event

im really not worried unless they lose to kru, in the furia game their reads were quite good it’s just that skuba (who usually plays well) and co got aim diffed

THey're definitely not at their peak but I wouldn't say they're awful.

They don't really have the roster for double duelist, yeah they have keiko but he should be on smokes most of the time. So double initiator/Controller with solo duelist is kinda their thing atm. (Ethan/Brawk on flex roles, Mada duelist, Keiko smokes, Skuba senti/Viper/Smokes.)

I think we're gonna see them be very dominant once the neon nerfs come. They're a double initiator team in a double duelist meta.

#32

exactly, they’ve shown that they can hold their own in a double duelist meta even if that means not winning anything

#34

They're still pretty threatening though.

Theres a lot of anti meta stuff you can do with Vyse/Cypher with trips and Good razorvine placement.

americas in general seems to be very into vyse, maybe that’s the direction they need to take on maps like lotus and split

Yeah I was shocked they were putting brawk on deadlock over vyse. He seemed pretty good with it on corrode.

If they lose to KRU, then it's concerning or else it's alright tbh...FURIA look primed out rn so the loss against them aint even bad
