Try not to bait and try not to be rude
(I just realized im cultivating hate but fuck it)
At least with Sens win they actually beat the other best team in the world whereas in Shanghai it was proven that Sen and GenG still hadn't been usurped in terms of level of play.
Madrid had 2 S tier teams, Shanghai only had 1.
Either way both tourneys were Mickey mouse asf, probably competing with Tokyo as most Mickey mouse
You can't just say they're the best because on paper they have the best players.
If I said I assembled 5 Aspas's would you say that's the best team in the world? Ofc not cause roles come into play and NRG from the beginning had lacked half the roles they needed in terms of personalities AND agent comp.
Best on paper is a team with great players in every role but has also completed every requirement. Igl, glue guy, clutch flex, reliable smokes, and that one random every team has, and they all need to be good vibes (unlike a certain coctor)
I said this over and over but y'all just kept glazing
on paper they did have the best roster even when considering roles. crashies was a top 2 initiator in NA, victor was a top 2 flex in NA, demon1 was the best jett in the world. marved was top 2 controller in 2022. only thing that was questionable was ethans igling which ultimately let down the team. so yeah nrg on paper had the best roster competing with fnatic 2023s roster
LIke what? to audience? to orgs? indiviudals or teams?
For orgs:
soulcas is a good shout, always a scrim demon never good in a real game for orgs
Yay is another one, top player in 2022 but never put up numbers since
scream making any team believe in his igl ability was fraudulant
Trophy wins:
Optic (reyk) visa issues
Fnatic (lock) mickey mouse tournament
Ascend (champs) won champs, did nothing after/before
For Audience:
NRG 2024 roster; "superteam" couldnt make a single playoff
M3C 2022 roster; back to back grandfinalist, couldnt make an international event
SEN 2022-2023 roster; believed to be a top team but didnt make an international event
TL 2023 roster; frauds in lock//in. won emea just to shit the bed in champs and tokyo
NAVI top 4 LOCK//IN, fell off in Tokyo, looked like the 5th-7th best team of Champs despite getting 9th-12th since NAVI had extremely close matches to DRX and LOUD
#8 overall team of the year - so they are in my top 10 teams of each year list forever:
