NRG vs EG zero stakes

Standings are locked and I don’t think the extra point would matter for EG… could we see something troll like 10 duelists?

i wanna see skuba reyna, brawk waylay.

people forget that while extra points don't matter, good practice does matter, so for these players it is way more often than not a better choice to just practice something unusual against a great team rather than fully troll

nrg still want the point just in case but they might try some of their weak maps or something

NRG want's champs points bruv

EG want champs points

they're just gonna practice some shit

Ethan neon again

NRG needs the champs points tho

if NRG loses to EG, champs points after group stage:
LEV: 19pt / G2: 17pt / NRG: 15pt / 100T: 8 or 9pt

the worst case scenario for NRG is if LEV, G2, and NRG all miss gf, and NRG can’t overtake either LEV or G2 in points.
in playoffs, finishing 4th gives you 4pt. LEV has the h2h round diff advantage over NRG.
here are the scenarios:

・at least one of LEV, G2, or NRG makes gf -> guaranteed champs qualification

if all three miss gf
・NRG finishes 3rd -> guaranteed champs qualification
・NRG finishes 4th -> they miss champs if G2 finishes 3rd. however, even if G2 takes 3rd, NRG can still qualify if they face and win LEV in the playoffs.

so if NRG loses to EG, one playoff win won’t be enough to guarantee champs. but if they win EG, if NRG gets just 1 win in playoffs, they automatically qualify for champs regardless of how other teams finish.

NRG need that point if they don't want to rely in the others to be able to qualify for Champs
