They forced demon1 to pick raze on both maps, which was hella stupid because demon1 didn't really have a good raze. Why VICTOR on SMOKE?? It makes no sense, demon1 has already proven to be good while playing smokes, and victor barely plays smokes, so why not let demon1 play smokes, and let him pop off? Victor would honestly be much better on raze.
Lets also mention dropping FNS for Ethan to fill IGL role. NRG's strats on sunset were so obvious and they were getting read like a book on both maps.
It doesn't matter if you have the best players in the world, if you have a bad IGL, you will not qualify.
