because kru was better last year and made some key improvements while nrg was horrid last year so why would i rank them above a champs team that improved when there is nothing to base it off of
kru lost their best player heat and nrg made massive upgrades to the roster. also, nrg didn't have much time to practice for stage two with the newer roster after fns and s0m returned.
additionally, nrg legit managed to beat kru in stage two with the little preparation they had.
there's no way you seriously think kru is a better "TEAM" than nrg. what about nrg makes them a worse team? overall they have great players with consistent performances (-fns), a worldclass igl and a top five duelist in na.
