brawk’s more comfortable on sova, but hopefully bonkar puts him on fade

mada vs kaajak is the real convo, not marteen

skuba
ethan
tennn
minny
mada
keiko
sugarz3ro
hyunmin
jitboys
sayonara

santiago made me like keiko

yoru nerf is good for us, i think they’ll run skye with neon or waylay instead of neon/waylay on split and bind, brawk needs to learn fade
i believe we make London

yeah losing after winning both pistols was pretty bad
dont take my veto predictions seriously, i’ve never gotten one completely right

i think nrg’s corrode doesn’t work anymore
especially on defense, they can’t hold A elbow

NRG ban Corrode, PRX ban Abyss
NRG pick Pearl, PRX pick Breeze
NRG pick Haven, PRX pick Sprit
Bind remains

NRG 3-2
mada doesnt miss a single op shot and drops 150

cuz ns even picked split early kickoff and i dont think nrg’s split is good, but yeah ns might still leave breeze in

nrg banned haven vs bbl and prx after losing to prx on it
the geng comp isn’t great vs yoru neon, and ns already farmed teams running that comp (ts, t1, rrq)

NRG ban Bind, NS ban Pearl
NRG pick Abyss, NS pick Corrode

NRG ban Haven, NS ban Breeze
Split remains

our bind finally works 😭

since they lost to mibr he’s been taking timeouts way earlier
he actually understands his team
goat coach

NRG ban Split, PRX ban Abyss
NRG pick Pearl, PRX pick Haven
NRG ban Bind, PRX ban Corrode
Breeze remains

bbl stomped nrg on abyss, but prx perma-bans it and hasn’t played it in over a year
prx probably won’t change their bans
If abyss is pickable, that’s pretty lucky for nrg

the real problem is no fade

this pic made me like them a bit
still not the most likeable team though

my stomach still hurts

viper

nrg’s corrode hasn’t looked great lately
but fair, they might still pick it vs bbl

even then teams usually just pick comfort maps at internationals
if bbl bans abyss nrg probably pick pearl

NRG ban Breeze, BBL ban Abyss

NRG pick Pearl, BBL pick Haven

NRG ban Bind, BBL ban Corrode

Split remains

nrg, furia, lev
m8, vit
fs
drg

TRULY WELCOME KEIKO

TL ban Pearl, NRG ban Bind
TL pick Breeze, NRG pick Abyss
TL ban Haven, NRG ban Split
Corrode remains

skuba shows up
NRG 2-0

needs at least two

aspas lacks trophies, chronicle lacks impact, Ethan lacks stats, alfa hasn’t proven it outside fnc
no goat in val yet

NRG ban Split, PRX ban Abyss
NRG pick Corrode, PRX pick Haven
NRG ban Bind, PRX ban Pearl
Breeze remains

nrg was 2-5 vs double duelist at kickoff and prx perma-bans abyss
this looks rough, but i lowkey wanna see how this plays out

NRG ban Bind, XLG ban Corrode
NRG pick Abyss, XLG pick Pearl
NRG ban Breeze, XLG ban Haven
Split remains

hope the double ini comp is gone, but if nrg wins on it they might go far

1. M8 - bc minny
2. G2 - valyn deserves it
3. FURIA - koala’s fun to watch, i want eeiu to prove how good he is, and SA winning would be hype

laz

NRG 2-1 XLG

M8 2-1 EDG

T1 2-0 TL

G2 2-0 PRX

easily eeiu

is strong not with the team right now?
last year’s run was partly cuz of him

furia vs mibr
i legit screamed when artzin beat verno on the last map

mibr ban pearl, nrg ban breeze/bind
map pool looks better for mibr but im saying nrg 3-1

NRG ban Bind, 100T ban Corrode
NRG pick Haven, 100T pick Pearl
NRG ban Breeze, 100T ban Split
Abyss remains

NRG 2-1

the biggest problem is bonkar’s tejo comp

using kids to give your life meaning is unfair to them

nrg / skuba
m8 / lar0k
zeta / jitboys
drg / nobody

not my main teams but i’m rooting for furia, m8, and bbl

valyn usually has a good read on Ethan
even if NRG wins, its probably gonna be close

G2 ban Abyss, NRG ban Bind
G2 pick Split, NRG pick Pearl
G2 ban Breeze, NRG ban Haven
Corrode remains

NRG needs keiko to hard carry

Schrödinger's kru

100t handled the veto better

my prediction
100T ban Abyss, NRG ban Bind
100T pick Pearl, NRG pick Corrode
100T ban Breeze, NRG ban Haven
Split remains

bonkars split comps are constantly kinda weird

Prime - yay, Leo
Trophies - Chronicle, Ethan
Consistency - aspas, Alfa
Cultural impact - TenZ, Boaster
Success over multiple teams - Chronicle, Ethan, Sacy, Meteor
Game impact - f0rsakeN
Big game impact - Ethan’s the first one I think of, but tbh every gf usually has someone who steps up
Innovation - Boaster, aspas

given how much Ethan struggled in 2024, I’d pick aspas as the goat now

.

dep wanted to retire

zeta tried to keep clz, but he declined
he also turned down dfm and chose tier 2

rest in the later stages is huge when a masters spot is on the line
I like this format, but uf should’ve been a week earlier imo
