lost to mibr leviatan and c9 runi cleared fenis, i love both teams and i know TS beating DRX wasnt a normal occurrence and so was mibr beating nrg. Stop thinking one lose defines anything and u should know as an optic fan that they lost to xerxia/x10 quite a few times but it didnt mean that x10 are a better team overall
idk, it seems like the more stakes their are to the match, the better NRG get. What i mean by like they just fix up the tiny mistakes in their game because they want to achieve that "perfect" fundamental gameplay. Obv not saying that they arent trying to do that rn but it just seems like in the more pressure/the more they know they HAVE to win to go to tokyo to example, the more their gameplay looks polished.

yall underrating team secret, they have had a sub-optimal last 3 games however they are easily good enough to be top 15, they beat prx in group stage, beat tl in lock in (I understand tl started rocky and have improved since), they play a really good game against higher teams. I believe in future when they fix some minor issues they will easily be top 10 maybe even top 5 with some luck.
