I dont understand this take
People dont understand the importance of momentum and the effect momentum has in this game. NRG may be a momentum based team, but momentum is a huge factor in this game to the point that people sometimes call tactical timeouts to stop the other teams momentum. Games often have a team leading 5-1 but then the half is 7-5 for the other team. The momentum thing is more the game than NRG in my opinion. Also the NRG players based on their streams and comms videos dont seem like they would tilt and have great mental so its hard to believe that a mental factor is dragging them down, although what they show in comms videos and how they are in ranked and on social media could be very different from what we dont see. That point is kind of left up to the intepritation of the one doing the analisis.
Also, roles cant be a problem since hazed has his preffered role, s0m does his best on jett, and tex said on his stream that the jett role didnt fit him and he prefers playing the raze, skye and kayo. Android is the only one that we cant confirm if he likes his role or not. And if u switch android and tex then tex wont be happy with his role and theres no guarantee that android would like to play kayo and skye.
Lastly, the comp you think they should run on bind is something they did run in the past. Im assuming they just didnt like it as much as the comp they play with s0m on jett, and I think the team knows what comps works best for them more than us vlr users would.
I definitely understand where you come from though and theres just as big of a chance that im wrong as there is that youre wrong. I think at this point NRG is just a curse of getting tier 1 talent and never really breaking into tier 1. They are looking good this vct though and if they make it through group stage i would consider them tier 1.
