How bad is this for NRG

I mean we dont know verno or mada salary but like everyone thought they would look good

I don't think it is too bad, it's just one game just like how in SOOP it was one game before they woke up so maybe now they do a lower bracket run? I am not really rooting for anyone in AMERICAS but it would be nice to see if the tier 2 talents can actually pop off now since every game will be elimination

It's really not that serious, it's only 1 series

nrg were losing to g2 eithe rway

we all had them making a lower bracket run to top4 MINIMUM anyways if they lost to g2

they didn't lose to g2 tho...

but why to clown 9 😔😔😔😔😔😔
of all teams

not that bad for NRG. Bad for the loser of SEN vs. 100T imo!

not bad, is just the lights are too bright for the rookies, just some offseason warriors that fall under real pressure

they were going to end up in this spot one way or another bc they would have lost to g2. so end result is not that different but you have to hope the players don't get tilted about that one. I don't even really think they played bad overall outside of 2-3 stupid rounds, Xeppaa had a life game and Tejo countered their comps, it happens. Just have to hope that they can anti 100/SEN

they got put into a tough matchup with 2 teams that haven’t showed anything yet and are very innovative. It’s just a really hard match up for them but once they see how teams play they’ll fare a lot better

give fns a couple days for antistrat on the new patch dw

That's a good point, I forgot that nrg/optic always lose the first game.

Lost most opening matches the last few years, C9 has also had our number the last few matchups, not the end of the world, just FNS not aiming well and a few blunders by Ethan. S0m and the rookies played well. Xeppaa also had a life game so.

Gives study and prep time to whoever they play in the loser of SEN 100T.

SEN, DRX, GENG, Talon, BLG are t2 to you?

ik what you meant, I'm saying that even though it's technically the same outcome, losing to c9 just feels so much worse than g2

Nrg and losing opening match. Don’t be surprised, they lose to rapid lofi before bruh

? is mith not t2? there were also t2 teams

UnAnarchy [#21]

You are correct but there were more tier 1 teams than tier 2. My point was that NRG wasn't the only tier 1 franchise team at the event.
