it was clearly an off day against c9 and they still almost came back on a 10-2 deficit. they'll be making a lower bracket run (losing to g2 in the lowers)
yeah its honestly insane how everyone had nrg as favorites or at least top 3 for kick off they lose one game and everyone is like NRG ARE SHIT. clearly they have never seen how an fns team looks without a demo vs with a demo this is proven too optic in masters copenhagen, reykjavik, even in champs they lost a map to boom. and nrg in regular season 2023 with the early mibr loss. his teams have literally always started slow.
oh 100% its going to be hard but look at the teams they have to play up until 4th. 100t, kru/2g, and lev i mean idk from what i have seen from all of those teams they are VERY beatable and c9 honestly was better than all of them their tejo deadlock was more impressive than anything these other teams did.
