So lucky that they are in such a shit region where they can just fuck around all season and still be 2nd seed. If you try that in Americas you wouldn't make playoffs because of how competitive the teams are.
i typed out an entire paragraph but then erased it because it was all hypotheticals. its such a shame we probably won't see so many of these teams play against each other this year because of so few internationals. like i'd love to see lev face a team like tl/giants but we probably won't see it in tokyo since lev are probably not even making playoffs. goddamn.
Yeah navi are obviously really good, but it sucks to see them breeze through the season against literal tier 3 teams while not giving a flying fuck and running troll comps. Meanwhile good teams like Furia, 100T, Lev and EG have to work their asses off just to make playoffs because of how high the level is in Americas
the problem is that aside from the gekko on lotus and todays comps most of their comps havent been really troll comps. they arent the comps they are gonna play in playoffs or internationals (aside maybe from the fracture comp) but theyre well prepped comps with alot of utility combos/set plays. even their gekko pearl was very well done (compare that to ange1 yoru split where they had no plan other than hit a on attack). navi win those games because the core have been playing like this with experimental comps for a long time and ange1 and doombros and the rest of the team know how to make it work. nrg just tried roleswapping.
