C9 Diffs NRG?

I feel like NRG vs. C9 is easily the most important game for both teams. At the moment NRG is heavily relying on better igling even when it means losing gunfights. Meanwhile, C9 is playing ranked (basically if Oxy pops off, they win). So they are perfect opposites. I think all things stay the same, C9 just wins in this matchup.

Thoughts?

im flipping a coin if its heads nrg wins tails c9

edit: coin says c9 wins

Oxy alone basically has the same amount of firepower as NRG combined lmao

😭😭😭

s0m and ethan aren’t bad in terms of firepower

Yea NRG feels like that teammate who tries to come up with cool strats and then dies to every 1v1. I know FNS has been grinding DM but idk if that's enough to beat a prodigy. I saw Oxy in stream and he listens to music full-blast while going 30-10 in radiant.

Ethan is good but s0m ain't in his 2023 form yet
he'll bounce back tho, I'm sure

If Cloud9 wins, NRG is eliminated, right?

Not only does NRG have to win this, but they need to 2-0 them in case EG does well against 100T or MIBR.

not even just that, NRG need to win 2-0 and even then its not in their hands

NRG is the best opponent for C9. Not fully baked in terms of teamplay but also not just a ranked team focusing on firepower.

Maybe if they brought back Demon1? I don't think he'd be able to beat Oxy but definitely put a dent in C9.

if c9 either beat kru or nrg they qualify for playoffs so both games are important for c9

C9 is terrible there's no way people think this game is gonna be close lmao

is NRG that much better?

is NRG that much better?

I would say that if they continue how they played against Kru, then yes. I think C9 diffs them if its a map like Split though.
