nrg MIGHT have ended up winning in overtime but its not a sure thing. (ngl i think they woulda lost anyway but wtv) if they did they would have went on to beat paper rex 2-0 (map 2 was 13-6 for nrg)

EG VS NRG LOWER FINAL would come. eg get first ban

EG BAN: LOTUS
NRG BAN: FRACTURE
EG PICK: ASCENT
NRG PICK: SPLIT
EG PICK: PEARL
NRG PICK: HAVEN
FINAL MAP: BIND

ascent: eg 13-6 nrg
split: nrg 13-10 eg
pearl: eg 13-9 nrg
haven: nrg 14-12 eg
bind: nrg 13-8 eg
NRG WIN 3-2
(i do kinda believe this one)

FNC VS NRG GRAND FINALS

FNC BAN: PEARL
FNC BAN: SPLIT
FNC PICK: BIND
NRG PICK: HAVEN
FNC PICK: ASCENT
NRG PICK: LOTUS
FINAL MAP: FRACTURE

bind: fnc 13-9 nrg
haven: nrg 14-12 fnc
ascent: fnc 13-6 nrg
lotus: nrg 16-14 fnc
fracture: fnc 13-8 nrg
FNC WIN 3-2

nrg would make it from 4th to 2nd and win 125k more in prize money and maybe band them together to not get bilibilid at champs

EG was the only team that actually fought back vs FNC and took a map off them even, they got 3-0’d in grands sure but two of them were match point/OT

if s0m won that round they easily win against prx but then lose to eg. no one except fnc was beating eg at that tournament

their chances of beating prx on pearl would’ve been higher tho tbh

nrg took their negative momentum and still dominated them on lotus so i think it would’ve been a 2-0 if they’d won pearl

if you mean they would’ve won pearl after the s0m clutch then yeah, nrg 2023 seemed very reliant on momentum, especially during the regular season

yeah also the round after was just an instant stomp, probably impacted by s0m throwing the last round away. i think it woulda been closer for sure and maybe nrg close it out there 15-13

and even if they lost pearl anyway, it coulda made the slightest mental difference had they lost another way and then they end up winning bind in ot

I think NRG would've beat EG in the lower finals (had they beat prx, but I still favor prx to win pearl even if s0m had won that round) but they would've lost to fnatic and I don't think it'd be as close as 3-2, maybe a 3-1 at best. NRG is just stylistically bad against a default heavy team with significantly better firepower like fnatic (or on the opposite end of the spectrum, an aggressive team like PRX) whereas EG which is somewhere in the center they are better against. I think if NRG played EG in champs it would've been a closer game than vs BLG (though they still would've lost)

on that note, people will act like EG suddenly became amazing in tokyo but their playoffs form in americas was also great and they barely beat NRG the first time, lost the second (though probably were saving strats) and loud stomped both. I think loud had a very good chance of winning tokyo if they didn't change to their retarded comps and played like they did in americas playoffs

yeah i totally agree

i think the hardest thing to overcome wouldve been that pearl overtime. id be more confident in them beating eg than in them beating prx after s0m clutches
