Lets be real, everyone thought this new KRU had 0 chance of being a top contender for top3 in Americas. That being said, we still lack to see them with Melser. After watching all games besides that last c9 match (completely strategically and firepówer wise outclassed), i think they gave some respectable showing. Axeddy is a duelist, and switching from that playstyle to controller must be weird. Im a bit dissapointed cuz he was a great aimer, but did not show it much. Also, KRU's map pool needs polishing and this map vs c9 showed it. The way they play Haven is weird to me, when they all play post plant and do not get and hold garage is weird to me, and the way they do the fakes without using manpower but only utility does not work if the oponents know you are doing it, and holding a line, with Bind also needing some cleanup. This game is gonna give lots of experience to KRU, and who knows, show some doubters they are not that bad as they showed today. Possitives are pistols, Daveeys performance, and some good maps vs top teams like Vitality, FOKUS and C9(groupstage). Xand has to get some consistency, as sometimes he drop 30 but then he is throwing rounds so, who knows. Finally NagZ showed a good KJ, and we will see what is he going to play after chamber nerf, im possitive he can play other sentinels so he is ok (can play sage, he played in the past cypher on Estrals)
TLDR: I still got impressed by KRU, but they need a couple changes on maps, consistency and Melser.
