Geng is not good. They have a new roster compared to last year, and even last year, they got grouped at Champions.

People from NA doesn't know much about teams from other regions so they just assume NRG is the team that wins and put them on a high pedestal.

They looked very clean in the off-season tournaments but yeah we never know how that translates to VCT proper. Historically, it's pretty poor for NRG.

FNS + Ethan (trophy level experience)
Made + Verno extremely cracked rookies

It’s a recipe for success, they just have to cook right

Not that I agree with S0m being the afterthought, but any team that has the CAPACITY for S0m to be an afterthought is a great team

A teams success is down to more than just their players.
Which is why I wrote that last sentence

Ethan can perform masterclass.
Mada is okay with the right support and when he's in his zone.
Verno is just a prodigy with cracked aim.
FNS got the brains and has improved his fragging.

S0m is the most underlooked. This player is usually consistent and always in the Top3 frags almost every map.

S0m Verno Cortezia biggest underdog cooks in Americas so I expect them to be in the Grand Finals. EMEA and APAC still up in the air for me.
