whoever wins get to choose their map selection first
MIBR: tex
C9: zellsis
G2: babybay
SEN: cortezia
EG: supamen
Furia: koalanoob
LEV: kingg
NRG: skuba
LOUD: lukxo
KRU: less
ENVY: rossy
can’t be disrespecting something like that when he put down their team twice
“recycling” when this is his first time coaching
EG reminds me of stage 2 LEV - very fun and likable team to cheer for
i think him speaking german with tex is troll but i would believe the others
i actually agree with your reasonings but i think you are being a BIT too harsh, some of these games you mentioned such as the ascent map vs PRX was not his fault whatsoever
scales was really good in stage 2
t3xture yes but karon wasn’t as good in 2025
lev > kru
NS is his dark horse pick
FURIA has no idea what they’re doing I wouldn’t be surprised if KRU won
Saying that they choked so many grand finals is doing disservice to the other teams they lost to and giving them too much credit. They only choked the EWC final vs TH where they were up 2-0 and lost the next 3 maps in close fashion. NRG and PRX were just better than them on that day
Odin spammer was the best player for his team, ethan winning MVP would have been by far more fraudulent
True, we also shouldn’t count GENG’s masters “win” which means that T1 were the first team to win a REAL international trophy for Asia
Those two aren’t exempt either
LOUD? Fluked their way to a champions trophy by facing a tired OPTIC who almost got reverse swept the game prior and dodged FPX (clear best team that got unlucky by gavin the goats DRX twice)
EG? Average PRX choke and dodged FNC in playoffs, they should be thankful that LOUD saved their asses from both teams (PRX and EG)
ALL champion winners are flukes to an extent
pedo + most overrated player OAT on the same team, good incentive to hatewatch sen
valorant skill obviously
C9
NRG
FURIA
GX
FUT
BBL
DRX
GE
TS
TEC
XLG
AG
life game against envy just to lose the next 3 games
why would HE flex to second duelist when sociable is right there??
Alfa has played more or less the same agents than chronicle in 2025, he can for sure play other roles that aren’t sentinel
zekken is not playing second initiator?
it’s better that way imo, mazino was a controller player for a good portion of his career and zekken was flexing prior to becoming a full time duelist
so mazino is the controller player and not zekken confirmed?
But with nrg even some of nrgs biggest fans will tell you that they would have lost to g2 without a doubt. This is proven since g2 beat them in stage 2 and in the off-season but nrg escaped their fate in Champs. Seeing a clearly superior team finish 7th-8th while their dogs got 1st is a tragedy
If we are going by this logic, then it’s safe to say that they wouldn’t have even met NRG even if they beat PRX since their kryptonite FNC is there who eliminated them from Champions Seoul and Masters Toronto
Similar story with EG, their run gets discredited because they didn’t meet FNC but whose fault is that really?
they have a new igl and coach so i believe they will be a lot better when it comes to team play this tike
I wouldnt say NRG is established team. It just feels like NRG is gonna lose games and gonna get upset by other mid-table teams.
That goes for every top team in any region. For example G2 almost lost to LEV (didn’t make playoffs), C9 (bombed out of playoffs), 100T, and EG in stage 1, sure they were dominant all year but it was a lot closer than people think.
While I do agree that NRG will lose games and get upset especially with the other top teams leveling up, they’ve shown that they can bounce back from these losses and improve on their game just like in Stage 2. And yes they are an established team, they have been so since they formed their roster with the 4 player core that won champs.
