Giants have got a balanced team unlike KOI which dependent on Sheydos and Trexx. Also they have a better igl.

GIA 2 - 1 NRG

#61

redlight

Frags

–

I think GIA have a lot of potential, but let's be real; they are not beating NRG.

They played DFM, who currently look like the weakest partnership team rn
If NRG can beat KOI, the team many considered a darkhorse (including myself), they can beat Giants.

NRG 2-1

#63

PoPanda

Frags

–

I would agree with this.

My only counter would be if Cloud and Nukkye go on an absolute tear and aim dif NRG's two big hitters - adriis and s0m.

Nukkye is yet to show up in full form. Cloud was a demon in their first map, but then dropped off. It's hard to say what form they will be in. I just feel the potential is there.

Strategically, NRG are in a stronger position - they should win - but IF they loose, it will be on straightforward aim duels.

respect for FNS. He just takes over the game with his strats and reads whenever the enemy IGL has less experience. Hopefully rhyme could learn from his mistakes today and become a better IGL with time.
