In your opinion, Who had the worst season, NRG or NAVI?
for me: NAVI
id say navi off the fact that their expectations should be far higher than NRGs, they were looking like easily one of the greatest teams heading into franchising but after lock in they just never performed anywhere near up to expectations.
NRG on the otherhand lost their 2 best players, they added som and ardis but now that weve seen their skill levels clearly ardiis at least isnt what yay was for optic
honestly the moment BLG do that id be fucking ecstatic. Mfs are treating this team as if theyre crazy racoons from 2021. They genuinely are really good and have a playstyle no one else in the game currently is playing with. There was a reason X10 beat NV and why BLG beat NRG cleanly and it isnt luck
the fact that NRG even made 4th place this year and decent in lock in is already enough to cement them above expectations. They even got second in Americas (tho tbf every team crumbled towards the end of the season).
Navi on the otherhand were looking like they were one of the greatest franchising teams heading into it and that theyd easily make deep runs in all the tournaments and potentially challenge FNC. Navis expectations were sky high and all they did was beat KRU, TS, a broken Lev, and lost 3-0 to FNC.
By far Navi were the more disappointing team this year and they werent exactly worse but had much worse placements than NRG
