Who was worst this year: NRG or NAVI?

In your opinion, Who had the worst season, NRG or NAVI?
for me: NAVI

NRG. Navi has close games against some good teams

NRG

Losing to bilibili 2 FUCKING TIMES with a masters winning core is a fucking embarassment. ill be the one to say it.

C9 killed both of them

NRG at least did pretty good at Tokyo, Navi just got grouped both times

NRG

NAVI had close games and won some, they are going back to FPX form

NRG Is loosing the juice, Ardiis is a double agent.

NRG’s whole gimmick is their anti-stratting, losing to BLG from lack of VODs is okay

BUT GETTING 2-0d twice On-The-Go same tournament phase???

NRG obviously
NaVi played better at lock in and champions
NRG only played better in tokyo and they still lost to a team with a substitute
If we count regional leagues maybe NRG was better but idk

Worse Champions NRG
Worse Year probably NAVI, if we count both events the same. If we consider Champions more important then also NRG

lmao

Year as a whole NRG looked better with deeper run into Tokyo.
Just looking at Champs, NAVI as a team looked better (when ange0 wasnt griefing).
Going 0-4 on maps to the same team that you claim to be much better than is kind of disastrous

NRG by far lol, navi got grouped by the skin of loud's teeth meanwhile NRG got absolutely cucked by cn#2 twice

No shame in losing to the 2023 Champions winners

Love to see ppl losing in gambling and rage at the team. Not refer to you but want to stay in 2nd floor here.

N0vi:
Tokyo #4 seed and got grouped
Failed to qualify for champs
LCQ #2 seed
Champs grouped

MidRG:
Tokyo #2 seed and placed 4th
Champs grouped

Imagine saying navi had a better year LMAO

NAVI, they have to qual from LCQ.

LOCK//IN

NRG: 5-8
NAVI: 3/4

Leagues

NRG: 2
NAVI: 4

Tokyo

NRG: 4
NAVI: 11/12

LCQ

only NAVI had to play, 2nd

Champs

both 9-12

NRG clearly better

Nrg did good bcoz they didnt face edg at tokyo kekw

id say navi off the fact that their expectations should be far higher than NRGs, they were looking like easily one of the greatest teams heading into franchising but after lock in they just never performed anywhere near up to expectations.
NRG on the otherhand lost their 2 best players, they added som and ardis but now that weve seen their skill levels clearly ardiis at least isnt what yay was for optic

youre just as blind as everyone on NRG if you really think that BLG is such a weak team to the point that it was an embarrassment for NRG to lose to them and not the fact that NRG never even tried to understand their playstyle and counter it

OnlyHereCosBored [#12]

honestly the moment BLG do that id be fucking ecstatic. Mfs are treating this team as if theyre crazy racoons from 2021. They genuinely are really good and have a playstyle no one else in the game currently is playing with. There was a reason X10 beat NV and why BLG beat NRG cleanly and it isnt luck

CarnageBTC [#18]

Nrg beat navi in the group stage of that tournament, id say that tells you everything you need to know

the fact that NRG even made 4th place this year and decent in lock in is already enough to cement them above expectations. They even got second in Americas (tho tbf every team crumbled towards the end of the season).
Navi on the otherhand were looking like they were one of the greatest franchising teams heading into it and that theyd easily make deep runs in all the tournaments and potentially challenge FNC. Navis expectations were sky high and all they did was beat KRU, TS, a broken Lev, and lost 3-0 to FNC.
By far Navi were the more disappointing team this year and they werent exactly worse but had much worse placements than NRG

if you're talking about it in terms of people's expectations then you're right

Kirya [#24]

yea tbf either way NRG was still the better team considering they actually made top 4 and literally beat Navi and had a close game against the finalists meanwhile Navi got stomped by FNC
Navi has done nothing of significance this eyar

The simple fact that NRG kicked Navi out in Tokyo + Navi was carried to international LANs thanks to Fnatic answers your question. NRG mightve had 2 bad games but they were still Top 4 in Tokyo

tough one. maybe navi, cause they qualified just because fnatic won everything. but i get why people are saying nrg.

Navi vs fnatic wasn't a stomp
The maps were really close with 2 round difference just like in navi vs loud and navi vs drx

losing against china 2nd seed team is literally the worst thing that could ever happen to a well-established team, so NRG

Very brief but a good one!
