NRG should be even with C9

throwin out cheap options just in case

potter probably leaves next year tbh, no way any NA org wouldnt want her except SEN

players that match his system, he's dominating tier 2 with no coach bro is 2021 prime shahz

it's pretty likely either oxygen or DZ make it to franchising so you prolly cant get allat

H2H is goated fym

They for sure make roster moves because of this, what players (probably cheap bc EG) would you want?

If they need a new IGL: stellar, he’s cheap if DZ don’t make it
If they don’t: do they just switch out apoth? I don’t mind the other four staying in, apoth is lowkey good too but there’s better options

Ik he’s an amazing dude too hope he gets a good team around him next year, EG should keep him

G2 have gotten better since Shanghai (where they placed deeper than 100t)

100T haven’t

Feel bad for bro… from being eliminated by EG to being eliminated on EG…

do you have an iPhone

His ghost is something else

This is a literal anti-clout move what

Have you noticed 100t is always underlined now?

For 100 tons prob

1 Prime
2 Gaia's Vengeance
3 Reaver 2.0
4 Singularity
5 Sovereign
6 Kuronami
7 Protocol
8 Forsaken
9 Ion 2.0
10 Prelude to Chaos

That’s only if G2 win next week or lose next week then win the single elim game, at that point it would be tied I have no clue what they’d do

Flair

Yeah they need both SEN and LEV to qual though, so they still want to win bc anything could happen there’s only 3 spots after all

the thing is if 100t lose they arent out unlike EG

i don't remember raging a lot of people agreed

s0m has been the best player on NRG in 2023 and 2024 on full time smokes

They weren’t worst team in pacific caliber

I want to see potter at champs too she could cause some major upsets for sure

I mean if they lose their season’s over, might as well represent the team you’re gonna be cheering for the rest of the year

This game is too hype

Whoever wins makes playoffs
These were the teams fighting for that last spot last year, now they get to decide their own destiny

Both teams are actually at the same skill level too imo with the EG rise and 100T fall off it should be 50/50

Both teams are NA too so no regional biases for cheering??

Preds for the match?

I’m just saying it’s crazy that at the beginning of the year everyone was looking at split 2 to be this super hype event that had so much on the line when in reality the format provides scenarios like this where split 2 regular season doesn’t matter one bit for a team

At least playoffs are hype though

Brawk/verno are great options, maybe even fiziq

I mean that’s the problem no?

Went 5-1 farming a tier 3 group in split 1 -> split 2 doesn’t matter one bit

Yes but that type or role style only fits with a specific player (jawgemo) and idk if they would want to take their best player s0m off full time smokes to play raze/neon to accommodate him

It would be so sick if demon1 could be good at senti like less/meteor

Demon1 senti
FNS flex/IGL
Verno recon (if oxy don’t make franchising)
s0m smokes
Find duelist (so many options tbh)

Keeping Ethan would be good but you have a sova issue then

Demon1 has a role issue that he needs to fix, and he probably will fix if he has the drive to prove himself again so giving roster ideas with demon1 at head duelist is not what vlr should be doing

Wouldn’t have fixed their igl issue

KRU have lost 6 games straight and qualified to playoffs yesterday

Good thing he got one then

Yay placed top 3 at every international event

Yeah a very incorrect fact

NRG have 6 months to cook with FNS s0m Demon1 + new coaching staff and two cracked t2 players?

This game is the only one next week that actually matters though 😭

FNS is also good at calling strats and conditioning as well

and EG vs 100T decides who makes playoffs... lowkey goated outcome its simple

KRU and C9 in playoffs?

i know this is a generational loss but please stay on NRG for next year

craziest VLR glaze i've seen

the best attacking IGL for sure right?

yeah but i don't think he needs to be "freed" because he could be on one next year

oxygen win ascension -> they drop players and sign a title contending roster bc of the new guest slot rules

i think s0m's best role is smokes and you should give it to him bc he's a world class player no?

2nd best team in tier 2

my heart is actually beating so fast bruh

then EG win vs 100T and MIBR (likely)

100T lose against LOUD (an upset, not terribly unlikely)

win 2-1

100t or EG lose out
the other wins out

qualified

not even just maps, games too there are scenarios where map or round diff doesnt matter at all

NRG would have a better chance than SEN last split assuming they win
