Don't care

been a fan of both NRG/OPTC since 2022 when i started actively watching (champs 21 was the first time i was exposed to val esports) and i have waited long enough to see s0m lift a trophy, any trophy, he's deserved it for ages

NRG fans won't hurt you brodie

Sometimes it's fun to say what's expected but retain the desire to be proven wrong

I've seen skuba play, he doesn't even use a monitor. He visualizes the map in a detailed rendering, completely in his mind. He has a biological wallhack; his godlike perception highlights all enemies within light-years. His eyes are closed as his mouse gracefully swerves across the table, making immaculate twitches as he flicks from head to head. The bullets that escape his gun barrel are surgical; each making a deadly strike in between his opponent's eyes.

what's funny is that i was rooting for FNC in this tourney because the brazilian fans were unbearable, but now i wish LOUD had actually closed it out

damn purp0 already retiring is crazy

NRG went brrr against FNC on ascent, outclassed them on abyss

PRX DRX was the hyunmin show

#NRGWIN
#BRINGTHENRG

FNC mental doesn't break, they just met a team with even greater mental

i was cooking some guy last year because he was saying miniboo was the problem and in the end he was right while i have no ball knowledge

PRX
dunno about the other one but i assume NRG

the region performs well in one meaningless event and suddenly they think they’re the best region and they’re gonna dominate champs

and in the end FNC is forced to bail them out again because the rest of them are incapable of doing anything

s0m is not live

Because we’re too busy glazing our own players bruh

you have a hole brother bounce on it yourself

aware

who igl

who gets replaced

of the 12 maps NRG played in this event, 7 of them went to the final round of regulation or into overtime

NRG won all 7 of these maps

mentality of titanium

big if

i am more worried about DRX than i am about FNC

why are you pretending g2 and liquid are good at abyss when they’ve very clearly not

you might have nostalgia bias for liquid

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHSHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

brother they looked lost on that map, and the only reason they lost was bc of a hyunmin takeover so drx isn’t even that crazy on it

Maybe historically, back in 2024 and early this year

both of these teams were ASS on abyss this event

they’ve played it against 2 teams, G2 (lmao) and shitquid

like cmon bruh

we ban sunset and bind
we are better on lotus
we can win abyss and ascent

3-1

Reading comprehension

corrode abyss ascent lotus

sunset unknown, bind unknown

Pretty decent

we had all these teams in our top 3 and DRX singlehandedly eliminated all of them, that’s aura

skuba cleared him today

Yes

he constantly performed below everyone regardless of clutch potential, outside of some key rounds i never see him have standout performances that tell me he is the best rookie of this season

if the odin was nerfed nrg wouldn't sniff another grand final with brawk

just because brawk isn’t the most mechanically talented doesn’t mean i’m saying he’s ass btw, on multiple occasions he’s shown he is very good on a rifle

and even then he doesn’t need to be that good considering he has three very insane rifles that IMO have done more to get them to where they are than he has

if they kept verno, they make finals anyway

having a 100% champs winrate is an insane flex

No he does not

He didn’t even perform that well in toronto either

just arguing to validate ur team being legit

Found the chokepoint, had a feeling it was this tbh since it always boils down to it

Brawk isn’t the best player on his team and he is not as mechanically talented & no one is claiming otherwise, but he has great game sense and clutch potential and that’s why he’s in the grand final

It is what it is

d0rke career ruined by s0yf igl

skuba
HYUNMIN
kaajak

don’t think it can be decided between anyone else

It’s obvious there’s no real benefit to arguing to you because no matter what i say you’ll just stick to the narrative that brawk won’t be anything more than an “odin abuser” so im not gonna bother

i’m not even sure what the point of this argument is, to say he’s not a top tier player? because we both know that isn’t true given he’s very capable of and has had good performances without the odin (you said so yourself)

Reduxx is not even the best tier 2 duelist in his region, emea just be fucking starved for talent if they’re choosing him over anyone in their region

W

tier 1?

so in theory DRX should have a free win too

Im ur #1 hater

i have known of him and seen plenty of his performances and clips since he was on ghost in 2022

so then you should know yourself you’re wrong lmao???? he was the most consistent player for MXM in 2023 and the same goes for 2024 (outside of mada)

it’s crazy the amount of revision we’re doing because muh odin merchant

lowkey this is S tier ragebait

i made one last week and it got nuked too bruh

i have been watching his games since he joined

Yeah, you’ve been watching him this year

I’ve been watching him since 2023 and i can say with certainty you’re wrong lol

actually very sad that most people will consider a player who’s been tier 1 material for years to be some odin merchant because that’s how a team wants to play the game

it’s actually quite funny considering NRG struggled less when playing without the odin

it actually happened across both this game and the GX game where they won on haven 13-1

because of how mediocre he was with rifles before

this just tells me you don’t watch any form of americas tier 2 or even tier 1

Still very unreasonable
he has less than a day to recover and be at 100% against a team that is firing on all cylinders

it will also be easier for DRX to play against them now that they’re confident in the lb run
