NRG looks solid, and all their plays are working.
ODIN spam is so well known in America.
NRG is so much superior in teamplay, aim, and microplays.
bruh
Let's go to Map 2.
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
JustHunter [#6]i honestly have no idea why NRG picked Lotus, they could be saving strats but i personally think their lotus is p weak and Navi havent shown anything yet on lotus so this might go to a third
Lotus is one of the best maps for fast rotation.
NRG is doing this very well.
That's the reason, imo.
quotationmarks [#2]NAVI IS SO ASS LMAOOOOOO
We gotta stop the divide between NA and SA and just dog on EU together tbh.

Okoretro [#9]lotus is navis worst map which was available
yeah bro,
NAVI is not at the FNC Loud and NRG level in terms of fast rotation.
They will suffer a lot trying to guess what NRG is doing.

6-2 against ScreaM IGL Liquid and who else?

yea i just realized theyve been playing lotus a lot recently in the matches that i havent been watching. Looking at some clips nrg look p good on it
Mingu [#16]bro chill NAVI is EU Seed 4. But I agree EU fans are so cringe
What happened to EU 3rd seed I wonder? They farmed NA right? 🤔
SamBR [#14]yeah bro,
NAVI is not at the FNC Loud and NRG level in terms of fast rotation.
They will suffer a lot trying to guess what NRG is doing.
if were going off of EMEA games then we cant say anything about Navi, they were trolling the whole season so it isnt exactly an accurate source
PooFaceCe [#8]We gotta stop the divide between NA and SA and just dog on EU together tbh.
Who is trying to divide, bro?
I did not see a thread about this for a while.
Number_1_Sheydos_Fan [#18]6-2 against ScreaM IGL Liquid and who else?
Look through Sao Paulo and this event, off the top of my head NRG beat koi and giants, 100t beat FUT, EG beat heretics even when their roster was fucked up, and then EG yesterday beat FUT, and now NRG is farming one of your historically best cores
kqly_was_framed [#20]What happened to EU 3rd seed I wonder? They farmed NA right? 🤔
We've yet to see Fnatic and TL. The Liquid and Secret match was definitely a fluke.
SamBR [#22]Who is trying to divide, bro?
I did not see a thread about this for a while.
Nah not people like actively dividing, its just that NA roots for NA, and SA roots for SA (most ppl I've seen at least), we should just all root for Americas collectively
PooFaceCe [#23]Look through Sao Paulo and this event, off the top of my head NRG beat koi and giants, 100t beat FUT, EG beat heretics even when their roster was fucked up, and then EG yesterday beat FUT, and now NRG is farming one of your historically best cores
So lets count the tally
Heretics, Koi, Giants, Fut (4 fraud teams that would never make champs)
NaVi (in upper bracket) vs... 100t and SEN
In conclusion: Neither region has had a convincing victory vs a good team at their best

also 12-5 comeback from Gambit on Vikings (Saadhak Sacy)
SamBR [#30]nading?
he threw a nade and it ended up hitting him and his teamate causing s0m to clutch
sentinelmain377 [#31]also 12-5 comeback from Gambit on Vikings (Saadhak Sacy)
Sady aint even relevant anymore
VALoka [#32]he threw a nade and it ended up hitting him and his teamate causing s0m to clutch
Oh, nade is an abbreviation of granade.
I got it!
xD
yeah you're right

interessting as you say the "clown tournament" doesnt count on trophies and yet you use it to make your point that NA is better then EMEA...hypocritical as fuck but hey you do you

Well, I would argue this point, but I'll agree on the fact that maybe before this tournament there was no convincing win, but now we have seed 2 and 3 of americas 2-0'ing seed 3 and 4 of EMEA convincingly
FloKa [#35]interessting as you say the "clown tournament" doesnt count on trophies and yet you use it to make your point that NA is better then EMEA...hypocritical as fuck but hey you do you
Well yea, the trophy and winning it doesn't really matter does it? but the sum of games that display skill do... I'm not arguing that FNC didn't give an example of superior skill > the teams they played, im saying the fact that they win doesn't hold nearly as much significance as an actual major.
PooFaceCe [#26]Nah not people like actively dividing, its just that NA roots for NA, and SA roots for SA (most ppl I've seen at least), we should just all root for Americas collectively
keep telling yourself Americas is one region and seperate CIS from EMEA...you so full of shit its incredible....you contradict yourself in every other post its actually ridiculous
FloKa [#38]keep telling yourself Americas is one region and seperate CIS from EMEA...you so full of shit its incredible....you contradict yourself in every other post its actually ridiculous
Not at all contradicting, I just realized that often times yall try ur absolute best to claim CIS as EU, and if thats the case we can play that game and NA can claim BR as NA... and if we do the last year hasnt looked too good for EMEA💀

so winning doesnt matter but the games do? What are you on? and it aint really hard to beat KC tbh just dogshit teams they beat in sao paolo
FloKa [#40]so winning doesnt matter but the games do? What are you on? and it aint really hard to beat KC tbh just dogshit teams they beat in sao paolo
Bro you can NOT read lmao, I'm literally saying the fact that FNC won shows that they were better than the teams they played, but because of the nature of the tournament, and the way it was set up, it doesn't hold anything near as significant as an actual major.
And if the FNC games proved that they were better than their opponents, so does NA farming EU.

the CIS players in question ARE all european....if you take football and geographic europe actually kazakhstan and armenia do have european soil my man
FloKa [#42]the CIS players in question ARE all european....if you take football and geographic europe actually kazakhstan and armenia do have european soil my man
how do you know all the "CIS players in question" lmao, also yea I said than thats fine, you can claim every CIS player ever born, but if u get all 10 slots of EMEA, we get SA, and as I said, that doesn't make EMEA look too good.

well i could have told you before that TH, KOI, Giants and KC would lose against your 2 best teams....its like me telling you shit about FNC and NAVI winning against dogshit teams of americas....
if you take EMEA as EMEA lets take Americas as a whole and you see who is better there in lock in
its 6-5 EMEA then

Thank you for letting me know I should never even take time out of my day to read a FloKa response again, you've proven to me 4 times that you cannot read, please stop responding to me ffs, the fact that u genuinely believe ur right is mind numbing.

Players of the Americas, unite
Mingu [#24]We've yet to see Fnatic and TL. The Liquid and Secret match was definitely a fluke.
It was not a fluke. There is something called improvement. Tl were garbage at lock in, secret rightfully smashed them it wasnt a fluke.
Theyre a lot better now. We cant know how much better because emea seed 3 and 4 have looked beyond awful. We will know soon enough though
