"NRG aren't trying"
Peak low IQ take
You are a human being thats genuinely convinced a team is losing on purpose, theres no point discussing it
I don't think they're throwing, but I don't think they're fully trying
So i'll ask again, if they're truly trying their hardest why did they not first pick lotus
That question isn't a "dunk"
A coach would have many reason for their veto, if you ask Bonkar, I promise you his reason will not be "yeah we lowkey just didnt wanna win, sorry guys"
i mean you keep dismissing my argument as me saying NRG aren't trying at all or that they're trolling or that they don't want to win when i'm not actually saying it, i'm saying they are not trying 100% which is very fair to argue
And you know it's a fair question when they demolished LOUD on this map and lost to them on abyss
The answer could be many things, like maybe they felt confident in their new Abyss comp, and they felt confident in their Summit because NRG is known to get good at new maps quickly, and they saved Lotus for late in the game because they knew Loud dont ban it.
Jumping straight to "well they aren't actually trying as hard" is a stupid leap in logic
The best team in NA classified to Champs and didn't won a single map since then, can you actually believe they are doing their best?
