8-12 comeback on MAP 1 wow

LEV 2-0

NRG needs to be relegated from T1. NRG blamed everyone, players and coaches, except for management. Verno, Crashies, Demon1, and Ardis all did better before and after leaving NRG, but not when they were in it. This organization has been in a slump since 2023, and they have always blamed the coaches and players but never themselves. OPTIC died for this.

S0m and FNS are a package deal, and S0m makes more money from streaming anyway. Ethan already said he is out if they don't qualify for any LANs.

When talking with Tarik, Valyn pointed out something, and it makes more sense why NRG will not qualify for any international. FNS, SOM, and ETHAN should have never publicly said that they are retiring after this season, as this causes issues within the team. This results in too much pressure and ultimately fails the team to fail against good teams. They should have done what TenZ and Sacy did in Sentinels, letting the boys know when they qualified for Champs towards the end of the season. This way, the pressure is not there long-term; everyone would try their best to win. Due to this NRG will not qualify for MASTERS or CHAMP.

I completely disagree. When talking with Tarik, Valyn pointed out something, and it makes more sense why NRG will not qualify for any international. FNS, SOM, and ETHAN should never publicly say that they are retiring after this season, as this causes issues within the team. This results in way too much pressure and ultimately fails good teams.

Guys, I don't think SEN played that poorly except for having deadlock, which mid af. I genuinely think they got outclassed by GENG.

What does this mean for C9?

Ensure you buy the CLASSIC C9 since they pulled a classic c9 move in the playoffs.

He did get 11 more kills than Crashies and finished ahead of both of the optic duo, so I don't think so. Remove them and chet, and the team might have a chance at an international.

Fax, I don't know how he survived this long. They played this split better, but I think it is because of S0m and FNS, not Chet. Also, by how he reacted, I think Victor is out of the team.

I disagree. FNS and Som improved the team much more than expected, given they had only one month to prep. The real problem is Crashies and Victor. Both were below FNS in the overall standings in this match against C9. So this duo and Chet need to leave. It is harsh, but it is true.

It looks deadly AF since it can play raze and fade. Also, based on how Crashies and Victor react, I think they are out of the team. Both of them are below FNS, who amazingly played even better than I expected. I understand it is harsh to say this, but iconic Optic duo days are over, and sadly I think they are both out 100%.

I'm sorry, Victor, but you can't say that after how you performed. You weren't at the top of the leaderboard, so you can't say that demon1. Also, I think the VIctor+ Crashies duo is overrated. Crashies had -12, and that's pretty crazy. I think you have to bench Victor or Crashies and sub in Demon1, as he is the firepower. You cant get rid of the others, and here is why: FNS: is a great caller, both early and mid-round [almost a second-half comeback from 3-9], S0m has the firepower and can play controller, Ethan has the firepower and can play initiator pretty well. So you have to choose between the iconic duo; otherwise, this team will not make it to any LAN event with RIOT's dumb format. Benching DEMON1 makes no sense to me, and I understand team synergy, but a dualist hitting the majority of their shots is a better choice than an aggressive player who can't always win. Can't wait for replies to toast me for having an opinion.
