NRG and Sentinels

#1

FireDJVA

1st Hot take: NRG are easily the top team in NA. They have world class champions-caliber players, a great coach who took the former optic crew to 2nd place at champions, and sweeped LOUD dominantly last week. As far as I’m concerned, NRG can easily beat C9 and LOUD and has stomped most of the teams in Americas already.
2nd Hot take: Sentinels can be better than most teams in the playoffs. Sentinels has the same story has NRG, minus the coaching staff (because wtf happened to sykko) and if they stopped fucking with their roster then maybe they can cause some serious damage. We saw the capability of the team when they almost closed it out against LOUD, and if TenZ manages to not fuck up his finger, they can win some games.

Feel free to bully me for the take Idrc.

In a match between the top 1-3, there will be no easy match.

Not really, after seeing C9 almost get shocked by an 0-8 team in KRU and LOUD losing 2-0 to NRG. Sure, won’t be an “easy” game, like if FNC faced KCORP, but NRG easily have the power to come out on top in either of those series. It cannot be denied that NRG have shown their contention for the top team in americas.

Aspas is a good player, but the way NRG shut him down was insane. FNS knows what he’s doing and Saadhak clearly can’t keep up. Plus, multiple teams, including the likes of Sentinels and KRU, came so close to shutting out LOUD. Everyone saw how marved sat most of LOUD’s roster that day after coming from the bench. It’s not off the rails insane to think that stronger teams (especially the one who would have beaten LOUD at lock in had it not been for some absurdly lucky situations in an overtime nailbiter) would beat them. LOUD’s last really good win was against FURIA ages ago. Also C9 is fake asf that isn’t real

also you have to remember teams like NRG, LOUD etc have had their core for such a long time.

SEN is one of the few teams that were built from scratch. they’ve only had since january to really experiment and figure things out.

it was a little too late for playoffs for they’ve got a good roster now.

None of these are hot takes but just facts. Sentinels is literally a superteam like fnatic except without an S tier igl. If you put ange1, boaster or FNS on sentinels they would shitstomp every team in the world.

i think after the FURIA game this is the roster they'll stick with through LCQ and whatever tourney they qualify for if any. my only concern is finding a sixth, because sick is obviously still not in a state to play

C9 have been playing better than NRG, though i think it’s way more likely for C9 to drop off than NRG
