tbf, nrg doesnt look as good as optic. ardiis isnt consistent. also looking at who they played, it isn't impressive tbh. they played navi who r so overrated rn. t1 also, t1 arent really doing too well. (lost a map to both of them btw). lost to fnatic 2-0, if they were as good as the old optic, shoulda at least made it more competitive. beat drx 2-0, drx looking shaky, losing to paper rex with a sub. nrg 2-1 team liquid, pretty gud but eg demolished them while nrg vs tl ended in 2-1.
Tbf, if you analyze this way every run, it looks like they fluked all their placements. But in reality is that most team fall off after a couple toruneys and struggle to be this consistent + although these teams look bad, they are here over other teams, and have something that makes them kinda good. If nrg was bad, they wouldnt have escaped groups
? compared to the old optic, they would get rolled over. all the teams they faced r ass, except for fnatic which they only got 13 rounds in 2 maps. its like optic is in the NBA while nrg r like 3rd graders playing basketball against first graders or something, yeah they r gonna win but they arent gud
the meta has changed. Also, Optic was also known for lower bracket runs not upper bracket. The only ran an upper bracket run once (FNS talks about it in the documentary where he said that it was nice to finally have more time for prac and analyzing teams rather than playing in lower bracket)
NRG beat every team in Americas other than LEV (their scrim partners) and MIBR. So unless all of Americas is ass, then they did beat some good teams.
They won’t win though everytime chronicle plays against them victor gets exposed and you can’t say they are better than chronicle as chronicle has played on lan 4 times if you include emea league and his worst position tournament was getting to final and losing 3-1.
while the old optic core lost 3 matches in coppenhagen alone plus both times when crashies has went up against Leo he can’t perform to his usual level either those 2 have played nrg a total of 3 times and never dropped a map to them.
they are 7-0 nrg can’t win as long as fnatic are in the tournament as they are the anti-nrg/optic/envy their players and catching staff are the perfect counters for nrg
That’s the point though those THREE not 1 chronicle has went from gambit where he was speaking comms in Russian all the time to fnatic where he had to adapt and comm in English and his level hasn’t dropped he is still performing to that level the difficulty of that is ridiculously hard and if nrg wins but chronicle still outperforms them then you can’t call them the goats as chronicle would of outperfomed them 3 times in a row 3/3 games they are the most overrated players in history they are great but not goats they have been destroyed by leo and chronicle 2 times each
