Those 5 guys are entering the season later than many teams they also have a player trying to be the IGL and he wasn't the IGL for so long if he ever was, fns is glazing them and hyping people for them so everyone and their moms are expecting a 1st place finish in every single tournament and even becoming the best of all time.
on top of all that the players are saying we are gonna win and we are built to win and anything but that is a failure instead of controlling the expectations they are raising the ceiling even more and they should've toned it down a little like saying we are late to form the team because of EG and we don't expect to be the GOATs instantly we need time to be comfortable with each other and discover our identity.
sure they still can be the best sooner than expected but they've put unnecessary pressure on themselves
NRG are nerfing themselves
No nro
No
LEV had had less practice 100t have had less
I did the calculations and NRG have had 6 weeks to scrim
Assuming they scrim 6 times a week and 5 scrims a day
6(6)(5)= 180
Assuming they play 7 maps 180/7= around 26
That means they have had time to have around 26 scrims per map which is more than enough
EVERY TEAM EXPECTS TO WIN
No, it really doesn't. The point of the post is NRG haven't scrimmed enough and thus will be bad. The point of this comment is that they have scrimmed enough.
Nobody claimed that the number of scrims is somehow proportional to how good a team will be. Literally the only question here is the distinction between scrimmed enough vs did not scrim enough
Everyone says their team is built to win. Every team that is even remotely close to having a chance to ever compete for a top placement is always going to say that their goal is to win. That doesn't mean there actually is pressure, or that their internal expectation is "if we don't win every trophy it's a failure".
I just can’t believe how stupid you are
The off season is not INDICATIVE of VCT performance
That means that REGARDLESS of the offseason result we should not look too deep into it
FNATIC’s performance at RBHG doesn’t mean they will be good, but at the same time it doesnt mean they will be bad
Just out of curiosity, is English your first language?
It is unbelievable how often you misinterpret my comments
No matter what flair you have, you were wrong from the get-go, NRG never pressured themselves. When their player said they were built to win it was meant to boost team morale, there's a huge difference between self pressuring, and confidence, I'm not sure how did that even made NRG feel so pressured. They also had enough time to scrim even if you argue that their roster came late.
Are you dumb? I said they had enough time to scrim, how did that tie to them recently signing an analyst, and I'm pretty sure most of an analyst's work comes after the teams matches, where they evaluate a teams performance, and strategy.
Victor saying we are built to win is Just him telling that NRG is prepared, ready, and CONFIDENT, also if it's only okay if the fans don't see you like that how the fuck does that make them fans? If your own fands doesn't see you winning then wouldn't that just make NRG lose their confidence and perform bad? This is just plain stupid, and I can see why you're a sen fan.
I swear if i had nrg flair instead of the sen flair you would be sucking my dick rn
And yes you fucking pile of garbage analysts are a part of the team you dont just put 5 players and make a plan then have the analysts tell you it's a bad plan and start over or change comps or parts of the plan if their role is so little why bother signing them then
If a team gain their confidence from the fans not their skills and hard work eg wouldn't have won anything last year so please don't use your ass to think again it's only made to sit on
And you know what the issue with your comment is ? You are calling me stupid yet you don't know that not only victor but also marved said on streams and interviews that "anthing but winning is a failure" that puts you in the losers side 90% of the time cuz even if they came 3rd or 4th in champs people will tell them they failed and they will feel as if they failed so why put that pressure on yourself
No one gives a fuck for your flair bro, stop saying "I-I swear 🥺🥺🥺 i-if I had n-nrg f-flair" you look fucking retarded saying the same shit, and no dumbass, I never said anything about analyst's role being little, all I was referring to was how there's no difference between them signing one early or late, and also, no you fucking retarded scumbag, NRG didn't just sign 5 random players you absolute moron of a human being, NRG signed 2 veterans (Marved and Ethan), and the best NA player in Champs, an addition to that the 4 members of the roster were once former teammates (OpTic core) that once played at the highest level, and literally all of them had the experience of being a world champion, so I don't know how is this just signing 5 players like you say it is, actually even in general no fucking orgs just sign 5 players and make a plan. No fucking Org is that fucking dumb to not even put any analysis or any sort of process to see if a certain roster can work, obviously scouting is there for a reason. Another thing is, an analyst can't criticize a teams performance without even seeing them perform in the first place, what would there be to criticize if you have no execution at all, it's stupid to just judge a roster that never had a problem in the first place and it was clear how the team would work, so Idk why are you even making their recent analyst signing an issue.
What the fuck are you on?
You do realize one of the reasons why one of the NRG players said their team is built to win is because they knew that they were good, their roster is one of the best looking NA roster we've seen since the OpTic core, and that is no joke, and the fans agreeing to this statement is just them supporting the team, and how they trust their fav team, if you don't think both of these factors don't affect a teams confidence, and performance then you are just full of shit like your takes are.
"Anything but winning is failure" a common saying the conveys winner's fucking mentality, that no one takes seriously, because it is just Marved being confident about the teams performance, how does that even put them on the losers side, if they do reach 4th or 3rd in champs, NO one would call them a failure, because the team did not fucking fail, you're taking his statement way too fucking literally, they don't actually think they are failures of they lose, it's anofher gg go next, losing is inevitable even for a team like Fnatic, there's absolutely no fucking pressure at all.
