I'm surprised no one has said anything about Gen G being a dark horse. They literally came out of nowhere this year. Especially from a region that's top heavy.

Gen G for sure.

They were terrible last year and somehow almost won Madrid this year while looking unbeatable. Prob improve from there too.

Bro they nuked the whole roster LMFAO, Meteor is the only one remaining. My point was that they basically got a whole new roster for this season and haven't had chemistry issues and exceeded expectations.

benjyfishy
I genuinely made posts saying he would be one of the biggest disappointments of the year
he was really mid in ascension and not good at the beginning of his time on TH, but he improved extremely quickly and is now one of the best sentinels itw (imho)
I stand corrected. I love fortnite.

NRG's run so far, I genuinely thought they were THE team to beat with such an insane roster, on paper at least.
