I think NIP is too inconsistent. The players are all good, but sometimes they feel like bronze. But when they are in good form, they can give a good show (like the first map of upper finals against LOUD, on Haven).
I think the Leviatan players are very nervous, like when they played against Furia in the final they lost by a lot, because before the final Leviatan (Australs) beat Furia 2-1
And is the first "lan", that Nip is playing there is cauanzin who is 16 years old. They have more excuses to be nervous than Leviatan, that is a big team (I don't remember how much time they are together).
