ong, we’re ending it with a good run at least
breh
plot armor: masters shanghai, champs 2023, masters tokyo, lock//in sao paulo, champs 2022, masters copenhagen, masters reykjavik 2022
could be close, apeks got a map against heretics while vit didn't but apeks lost 0-2 to fnatic while vit got a map
recency bias has everyone hating on fns' prime days
in 2021-22 they say yay carried him. watch what happened to yay in 2023 and what happened to fns in 2023. NRG 2023 was arguably a top 5 team ITW, only behind fnc, loud, eg, and prx. champs is the only exception.
and its not like 2021-22 was carried by yay either. while yay was dominant, all the setups and strats and plays that made yay pop off were set into action by fns' calling.
even in 2024 fns was doing great. the stage 2 roster flunked because of choking, but for example against SEN, FNS called some really good attack rounds on sunset to bring it back to OT. in the off-season his calls were also really strong because he'd basically analyzed everything from the past year and that iteration of NRG with verno, where fns would play breach and vyse a good portion of the time, showed some of FNS' old calling skills from 2023 mixed with new meta. and fns was fragging pretty well in the off season too.
tbh, it wasnt until tejo came out that fns truly tanked, and pretty much all of his and NRG's problems since can be attributed to tejo. not gonna take away the blame though, he should have seen how good tejo was immediately and probably some kind of arrogance from him and ethan caused all the problems they're having now.
but all that said, with the exception of 2025, 2024 stage 1 and 2021/23 champs, FNS has always been an excellent igl. that's a good showing at 6 int'l events out of 11 that he could have attended in his career. i don't think most igl's come even close to 4.
madrid and shanghai he wasnt playing so it doesnt really count
i know, but the truth hurts
ong, it’s annoying when i want to listen to hip hop but it’s filled with the N word
only real shot if they miss playoffs
-ethan +yay
all the role issues are fixed
there hasn't been a single positive since that shorty shit
we had pearl in the bag
they singlehandedly ruin the best of NA
they were good in 2023 because the optic core had so much momentum coming into the year
they've ruined 4/5 of optic, 2/5 of eg, s0m, ardiis, chet, and bonkar
truly a domestic terrorism org
damn homies had a constructive conversation on vlr
not even fns problem, since he got on NRG it’s been downhill for him too
ethan as well
this org is cursed
rare gamergirl w take
mikes is not a leader, just fit for AC
we had our time
unless fns calls a masterclass next 2 maps the dream must move on with yay and crashies
nah everyone except mada and verno is a deadbeat
just mada vs verno dragging along their deadbeat teammates
i said he’s = aspas in the match thread and people said i’m dumb
at least he’s playing on 4k, he’s having fun 🫡
yay when he plays well and team is shit: yay bad
yay when he plays flex asf and doesn’t play great but team wins: yay bad
EVGA 1080 Ti
i don’t see what’s wrong here
it’s true
brawk = verno
mada = aspas
s0m > xenom
ethan < artzin
fns << cortezia
fns > artzin (calls)
could be closer than people realize
or it could just be like mibr 26-8
"i hope ferrari don't fail him with the strategy"
my man welcome to ferrari
russell will torpedo and the car will need heroics
hes always on either extreme
either too harsh on himself and the team or too cocky and thinks hes some kind of villain in a rocketship
piastri meanwhile is always calm yet determined
true goat in the making
oscar piastri real mclaren #1 lando has losers mentality
how the times have changed...
two of the most successful orgs in the scene reduced to this shit
face the truth, both are shit in 2025, replace them both
not just u bro i read that shit too
more like im not thorny tbh
this is like saying kiles had more impact than nats because acend beat gambit
cortezia is playing well on a top 3 americas team with aspas xenom and verno, and its pretty common knowledge that having aspas on your team makes everyone else better
meanwhile lukxo is playing on dogshit loud and fragging tf out when its basically just him, dgzin, and sometimes pancada playing well
stax was never a top igl until recently, the whole team was good but the igling was never half as good as the ones you listed (until 2025)
crashies rope 🫡
redcar 18/8 fkfd wtf
aspas take notes buddy
