When Fnc built their 2023 roster you can quite easily argue they were best in role for Europe and all top 5 in world. They then proved it at multiple lans and won 2/3 of the calendar.
Nrg will be good but they ain’t built like prime Fnc. Loud, Lev and hell maybe even Sen will match up. The lack of an experienced and creative IGL is going to fuck them. When the going gets tough, Boaster, FNS and Saadhak save their teams with their calling.
When the going gets tough, "each individual player needs to perform their max potential" and then win games together as a team. IGL dont mean shit, mid-round calling has more importance and value. Jawgemo and C0M popped off towards the playoff finals individually. A creative IGL didnt improve their skill or gameplay at all.
Demon1: highly capable, never underestimate D1
Ethan: highly capable and experienced
Marved: highly capable if Iceman mode
Crashies: highly capable through experience and has performed when it mattered
Victor: I still have my doubts but still highly possible and capable
But we shall see how things play out.
