NRG Are Very Solid
NRG have enjoyed a successful split. They topped Group Alpha with a 5-0 record, having beaten Leviatan, MIBR, Evil Geniuses, ENVY, and FURIA, while dropping just two maps in the process.
Since then, NRG have played just one more game – against LOUD in the upper bracket semifinal – and won 2-1, with 13-7 on Ascent, 11-13 on Abyss, and 13-5 on Lotus.
In that game, NRG showed a lot of good things. They look very structured and work well individually, and especially as a unit. This is a well-rounded team with the right ideas and not many weaknesses.
Map pool-wise, NRG are in a good place. Sunset has been lacking, but besides the one map, NRG haven’t shown many cracks.
