I am rewatching my Goat destroy 100T on Breeze and Bonkar looks so fucking happy like he solved the meta with this as if it isn't just Keiko bulldozing over everyone on Jett.
Bonkar if you want a free dopamine boost every map please run double duelist with my Goat and Mada so NRG can make London.
My worry is that we rely too much on keiko being godlike and i don’t like that
if keiko has an offday (rare chance) then what do we do
Yea. Like the comps NRG are running I don't think are bad but the current form the team is in is really poor and the way we play, especially on pearl (MAP PICK HOW??), is too passive at times. Like KRU have gotten so much success from being really aggressive meanwhile NRG just give up too much space.
I am glad Keiko is in insane form though since I think if he wasn't then NRG lose Lotus
bonkar is usually an advocate for proactivity and you can see that in their 2025 matches from stage 2 up until champs. it is indeed a bit strange that they resorted to playing passively vs KRU but a lot of things went wrong that game
As long as NRG has keiko and skuba in form I have hopes that they can make London, although I would like to see them win a map vs neon because their only map wins this stage were against non-neon comps
tbh i feel a little better about that because i think KRU is just the best team in the region by miles
FUR caught NRG with their pants down trying to do shit that doesn’t work anymore and it then led to NRG getting curb stomped by a generally better team
fortunately those two were the best two teams in the group and so long as we fix up our pearl we should be okay, because we did look great on breeze and decent on lotus (shouldn’t have been that close but we lose a ridiculous eco)
if they can get the 2nd/3rd seed in their group they are in a good spot imo, most of the teams in the other group are bearable so they should not have too much problems.
even if the 100t game was a bit messy i saw some good signs from them, very confident they will turn it around and hopefully make london. although it would be really nice to see them try neon raze on maps like split and fracture, keikos potential would be unleashed and mada can have more consistent impact
yall TL flairs the funniest, you guys are ready to glaze keiko but never give NRG as a whole credit
keiko goated tho ngl.
