NRG oopsie??

idk what the point of letting Split be the decider was, looking at bans and picks, I don't understand why NRG didn't ban it on the second ban phase?? were they really THAT scared of Lotus/ didn't prep well enough for it?? Even on split, it didn't look like anything anti-SEN or anything crazy different that SEN hasn't seen. It's arguably SEN's best map and they let it be the decider??? I think the match was lost at that moment tbh.

(maybe they assumed SEN was gonna pick it first so they wanted to at least take bind away for sure?)

Yea if u watch the VOD, ethan didnt know what to choose and then chet thought for like 10 seconds before choosing to ban Lotus.

I was thinking just that. They might've been thrown for a loop when SEN picked one of the other maps leaving both Lotus AND Split open, but I'm not sure.

1: Even if They banned Split they would have to face Sentinels Lotus which looked untouchable against 100t. So both ways they would have to face tough sentinel maps.
2: And also NRG should have been more prepared to face split. Even if they lost 13-8 respectable 13-3 is the main issue

they trolled the veto
