Furia vs nrg was way better than they were against mibr.
Mibr was looking horrible against c9 and still almost pulled it off, they were a lot better against furia, even frz that doesn't even frag was the mvp somehow. Also Furia didn't even have their coach due to visa issues, which is concerning considering liazzi and havoc are pretty young and new to tier 1.
Mibr also could not hide anything due to being an elimination match.
And if you go back to FNS's vod he even says NRG is just recycling their old tactics with chet, no different comps, same defaults.
and Furia did lose to GE, after literally having a food poisoning and being burned out from playing in too much off season events.
C9 stands no chance against NRG at all. Even vanity which is one of the biggest shit talkers in NA was not confident at all when he was asked about playing NRG, he just said we will see. (this was during a tech pause interview in one of the games, he was watching from the arena, i don't remember which game it was tho, i would need to go back in some vods.)
