do you not remember what optic did in 2022, they always sucked in group stage, but playoffs is their playground. even though el diablo and ice man is gone, s0m makes up for marved, however ardiis is still shit. However, the core of optic and chet are known for their shit group stage experiences, (ie. losing to xerxia in reykjavik, and guild in copenhagen).
On the other hand, optic in playoffs is a different breed of insanity, watch, even the lowest seed placement from group stage will boost NRG to a tokyo contending position cuz of FNS AND CHET GIGABRAIN PREP AND STRATS.
For you shitters saying, LOUD, LEV, and FURIA are making tokyo instead of NRG, just watch how NRG dismantles their competition in a few weeks after they make playoffs, you won't know what's coming. WAHH WAHH NRG lost to MIBR BabyRage, yea they also lost to xerxia of all teams in reykjavik (a tournament they won btw). Don't doubt NRG in their losses and wins as this is only group stage bud.
