i swear every power ranking video i see has nongshim top 5- top 3 peak, and i cant tell if its some mass joke or they actually are, didnt they get taken to a OT map 5 to possibly the worst team in pacific? ik ascension teams can be good and i understand they barely dropped maps but surely they cant be top 5

Top coaches mentioned how they are very good in scrims, and their run in challengers and ascension if you don’t count the 2 grand finals, was complete dominance as well.
Lots of ppl think BLEED would’ve been a (lower)middle of the pack team if they kept the original roster so ppl rating NS that high is understandable
T2 exists when you artificially create the rift between T1 and T2. The Challengers (2021-2022) Era of Valorant proved that when everything is equalled, everyone can beat everyone. Players in T2 can be as amazing as players in T1 if given the chance. It's just a matter of investment.
Like the original comments mentioned, when Champions was in Seoul, even Neilzinho spoke about how solid Nongshim (then SPG) was in scrims. Does that say much? It depends. But when you are that dominant even in the circuit and (unlike BLEED) maintained all 5 members + a young prospect? The sky is the limit for them.
Can they be very bad? Sure, maybe against the more experienced teams. But against the mid-lower teams, they can absolutely perform against them.
i can belive a mid pack team because we have already seen that out of drg, g8 and g2(g2 being even better) but with g2 they were pretty much a t1 team, and i understand scrims to determine atleast some skill, but i still think we need to see them play atleast 1 vct team before i see people in power rankings like plat chat calling them top 5
The team has arguably one of the best firepowers in VCT Pacific, and the way they play is like PRX from 2023 where the aggression is controlled and the set plays are excellent and well-executed. They've also won multiple scrims against top tier 1 teams in the world.
BME taking them to a map 5 and keeping it hella close was either the crowd buff or the BME players having the game of their life. I'm not saying NS are gonna be the best team in the world, but they are a team to be feared at the least.
P.S. Boom Esports are considered the worst in Pacific purely cuz the teams ranked above them have proven their worth in off season tournaments or have made significant roster moves increasing their firepower. Objectively they're not that bad of a team.
they will be in top 5 orr 6 in pacific orr may be in top 3 . Because apart from T1, GENG,PRX all other team have not that firepower which can surppress Nongshim. I think with season progress they will become more confident and eventually can qualify for champs. They are PRX version of w gaming with cracked aim , set roles and an igl .
Those who says they closely won that acensions finals , yeah its true but they didnt played their best game and boom played their best game of whole year .
