Looking back the thing that made them so good was the consistency that they had and their resilience. They had some bad losses to teams like Rise and Xerxia, and would get farmed by EMEA but would always bounce back. Granted I think they are pretty overrated but its mostly hindsight. You can say they were carried by chamber meta and while that may be true this team just had things work for them.
NRG just does not have what they did and its obvious. You can just say the players fell off or FNS was the true carry or just blame Chet, but its clearly much more than that. Whatever moves they are trying to make with the loud players or with marved will probably just make them worse but we shall see.
Even if the they somehow get the full optic reunion how good can they truly be with the current state of the game?
