everyone forgetting that LOUD went without practice for 2 weeks while NRG had a month of prep work because their goofy ass couldn't qual for madrid

dog they 13-2'd a team with no practice for 2 weeks because of visa issues. Considering they've had a month of prep to work on anti-strats it'd be impressive if they lost this match. You NRG fans are delusional

what does this match prove though? That nrg can win against a team with 2 weeks of no practice when they've had the entirety of Madrid to study vods and practice?

Bad argument because any the play-in team for the west could be a play-offs contender in the east. Standings don't show the entire picture because a team could've just had a bad start to the season, but could eventually prove themselves in the late into the season or during the post season. But realistically they could be top 10 currently, if not top 15 because of their recent performance. Hence why it's a braindead take to solely rely on seeding.

because you claim 2022 optic achievements are the same as 2022 NRG's achievements. They were just as irrelevant as SEN in 2022, and only became relevant in 2023 because they obtained half of the optic roster and after the fact that they got slapped by BLG twice
