Which script is stronger?
Do NRG pull a classic Optic, lose the first game and go on the lower bracket run?
or
Drop a map, look shaky but end up winning anyways as they did in group stage?
optic has never lost the first playoff game in an international event?
I dont think they have ever done a long lower bracket run.
