They aren’t pretending to be bad lol they are trying out something that isn’t working
They will likely improve split 2 but this isn’t a pretense

Because for the sake of pro play only 7 can exists

Reported for no haven and breeze included

I actually find icebox fun to play but horrible to watch

Less and mako

Fns was trying too hard to troll him/banter consider they don’t know each other that well
That being said nade was just acting weird from the start likely cause he was high

Yeah yays sense isn’t even that slow tbh

That boy is defo like that
Yoy who cryo is my op merchant

Dude 10k posts in 3 months is legit insane that’s like a 100 posts a day wtf

17

Brotha do u ever get off vlr? I see u in the morning before I go to school, come home at late night to watch Asia games and ur still on
This cannot be healthy

Nah but now when he performs he looks like Himothy

2 million iq strat flying over ur head

Bro cannot stop making threads about NRG this is tooooo funny at this point.

U ain’t a true Chad unless u talk shit win or lose
If u only talk shit when winning ur a pussy
I respect it

Nah bros like an obsessed girlfriend wtf

Looking like me out there
Bros playing with his toes
I hope he still talks shit like a true gigachad

It’s also clear that nrg don’t trust Ethan’s midrounding, they have like 3 fakes and mid rounds 20 seconds left in the round and play themselves, either Ethan has a meltdown on every other attack round or the other players are trodding on each others feet all calling strats

Haven’t u learned from nrg that better on paper doesn’t always translate in game? Zellsis playing for sen brought immediate success and it’s clear he fits the team well, it would be stupid for Sen to make ANY roster changes until after champs

Nah zellsis is fine, no need to be so reactionary, his flexibility is important and it also very clear that he helps with midrounding and emotional support

Why do u say that? His teammates set him up with utility but it is no more so than any other duelist
He takes space and entries just like other duelists

How is he playing in an egocentric way?

He is very good but obviously people are waiting for playoffs to see how kru fares
I’m sure if kru makes Shanghai there will be a lot of hype around heat

His igling looked similar to Ethan actually, solid on defense and clueless on attack

I think demon1 is also just in a slump rn, not really his fault
He hasn’t been preforming in (or playing) ranked either, his fiancé’s situation and being rusty are prolly weighing on him

I genuinely hope they take a week or two off
They probably were grinding nonstop after losing to lev and EG and were even more burnt out against loud

Chet and Ethan rn are the problems
This is obviously restating at many people have said

Chet has an extremely rigid system that is fucking up team comps, did this last year as well
Ethan has terrible attack side calling, certain very noticeable tells leading to constantly attacking stacks, panicked midrounding while time is low

NRG don’t deserve playoffs over 100t and G2 and certainly not Shanghai
Hopefully they do a lot of work before split 2

I hope so na need narrate back we are struggling

I get ur point, but liquid made internationals last year, more than the vast majority of teams globally could do, so they certainly weren’t tier 2
I don’t think victor is a top 5 raze internationally, but he’s certainly good enough to play it
Clearly NRG’s problem at the moment is calling and team comps
I’m curious which raze players u think are better than victor globally

Additionally plays raze
But yeah this mf is actually the truth 1.34 rating on raze off of only tier1 matches is insane

His whole team shit the bed against blg the first time but he played well the second time
His raze looked good vs DRX and liquid iirc

Curious why u think that
His raze certainly looked good last year internationally

I think despite what everyone says this optic trio still has potential
Victor and crashies have crazy synergy, victor is incredible at taking space and fns believes that crashies is the closest to a perfect player he’s played with
Shame to see what is likely the end of their pro career being squandered

The igl thing is a massive ego move, very disappointing
The only team that has been able to have some random cracked player igl is prx and they are exceptions to a lot of rules
Chet has a very rigid and unforgiving system for his team and their roles that only really works for the original optic team

I think Chet needs to stop trying to get cracked duelists for this nrg roster
Put victor on perma duelist and pick up a good flex player and igl imo

Yeah because lev are way better than nrg in macro and guys, but regardless I don’t think player quality is an issue. If u walk into every single stack u can on attack 20 seconds left in the round u will lose no matter whose on ur team

They got sonned by lev but I don’t think they got donned by EG, their ascent t side was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen

I somewhat agree with you, I think victor can play other characters but he doesn’t have the mechanical skill to play as well as forsaken

Realistically sentinels are very easy to learn but Vic has somewhat average aim but has great satchels and pathing on raze

I don’t think their getting guy doffed much, their calling on attack side is atrocious and only their hero plays are saving them

Forsaken is an incredible player, so not really that bad
Vic’s a very good duelist imo, his raze is top tier and his Jett is decent
His kj is ok as well

Why is it not it?

It’s not bad but he needs to play raze on sunset

Amazing support util this map and on ascent but bro cannot calls a t side round to save his life

They win defense off micro set plays and individual skill

Literally won at least 3 rounds by himself

I mean I can’t speak for other na fans but personally I was rooting for apac the whole way thru in Madrid

I see eu shitting on apac mode

Holy throwback thread now y’all can see why na and eu are so toxic to each
For context this was after na was dominated by eu during 021 champs

Go outside bro this is all over a fucking video game

Let’s see how 100t look like against nrg

Crazy the amount of disrespect he gets despite being a part of the reason why y’all won ur first trophy in 3 years

Do not scapegoat sacy one player does not make u fall off this hard
Bros is literally playing the bitch roles/positions to make sure his teammates get kills, u can tell every time he gets to play selfishly he pops off

It’s ok bro split 2 still there just don’t hop off the bandwagon
