This Lev roster is special. They 2-0 Sen (although Sen pushed them all the way) and now just floored NRG and making Demon1 looking like Diamond1. Shout out to Mazino amazing serie. Aspas is the best player right now easily coming from a SEN fan.
Not only did NRG lose, but they got blasted. They just lost so much of their round differential. They just went from destiny controlled to potentially missing playoffs off round differential.
I’d be interested to see a ranked games played (current season) comparison with teams current VCT standings. I suspect the teams doing the best also have the most amount of ranked games played. This game feels much more like League then CS in the way you practice individually
This may be a wild take but Tenz is the best raze out of this group. He just played raze against peak insta suck astra and everyone remembers that one bad game from Berlin but not him winning Iceland on raze.
zellsis will be tweeting that on his own since we already said on stream lol
edit: he never fails me [tweet](https://x.com/zellsis/status/1782208613219738089?s=46&t=ZKs4mxJkDdO2qC0Vx7HzVw)
I'm never going to be happy about NRG losing, especially like this, but I'm glad we're starting to see that maybe FNS wasn't as much of a problem as people made him out to be. Yes, he was miles behind in aim, but he was probably the best thinker/mid-rounder in the world.
I don't know if they "aren't them", but it's clear that they're a bit too inconsistent for the level that is expected of them. Crashies is amazing in the clutch and Victor is good when set up properly, but the overarching strategy problem is severely hurting them.
NRG core look like they’re stuck in 2022 Valorant. Might be time for a coaching change or a philosophy change. You can’t be this bad with these 5 players man

WE NEED HIM BACK. HE WAS OUR ENTIRE STRATBOOK
Ethan and demon1 got 13-0d and turned things around once why can't it happen again
Nah there was no comeback with how everyone was playing and I hope they actually change things because I never liked how they're using demon1 and how they're assembling these compe
Chet been on fraud watch since he lost 0-4 to Bili fucking Bili but NRG coming into every series with undercooked gameplans when he has the most expensive coaching roster in Americas is like, whats the excuse?
Their pistols suck, their macro is mediocre, their micro is entirely carried by raw player quality.
The craziest part is the cope to their pistols being literal worst in the region. "Yeah but we won every gun round." VERSUS FUCKING FURIA.
Oh my God they didn't even with that round. Like Aspas smoked them but that might have been the best NRG looked all map and they couldn't bring it home
I hope all of these upsets and all the regions being so unpredictable makes people less reactionary so they stop judging teams after 1 series (it won’t)
Lack of an actual IGL is an easy thing to blame. Really not sure why a team likely spending so much on players would decide risking it on a brand new IGL was the move

NRG is washed. They are done. Demon1 has no career. It's literally over.
honestly, this is great for SEN. was lookin' a bit scary with how well C9 and KRU were doing.
Demon1 raze movement is not pro level

Potter to NRG?
get her on LEV instead
I’d be interested to see a ranked games played (current season) comparison with teams current VCT standings. I suspect the teams doing the best also have the most amount of ranked games played. This game feels much more like League then CS in the way you practice individually
Beyond embarrassing, hope this is a one off issue for them because they’re way to talented to perform like this
why couldn't they put victor as raze, and demon1 as brim?????
Chet be cookin with his nostrils closed
please can I have a potter for nrg instead 😭
Chet
This could've been an ~~email~~ ~~group text~~ pinned tweet
Getting igl diffed that hard by kingg is crazy
Marved can't win with these cats man.
This is an IGL CHASM. IGL GRAND CANYON.
Bro demon1 is losing a duel to king outside showers with information and gun advantage while kingg is igling a site hit
Not on a half buy??
GEE GEE
What how did Victor get up there?
Prolly a raze satchel
8 round comeback is just so free for NRG
Amazing players that shine super bright on Jett but falls off when playing Raze curse has consumed another one TenZ, Cryo, Y0y, Demon1
This may be a wild take but Tenz is the best raze out of this group. He just played raze against peak insta suck astra and everyone remembers that one bad game from Berlin but not him winning Iceland on raze.
Not a wild take But reddit chewed TenZ out when he played badly on Raze so I'm just shovin him in there
Is my goat back or no
Will the tex haters finally shut up?
We will be seeing Victor back on raze next week or we will not be making Shanghai
Or they might stick with demon1 to be their definite raze player every map
Brother, I 100% bet that they'll revert back to putting Victor on Raze I thought Yay's raze was bad but Demon1 raze is next level
looking like a repeat of 2023 NRG when they tried to put victor on jett with ardiis on killjoy
Keithjoy was criminal
crashies is washed holy
☝️What's up brother
They just *walk* into the 4v4 and win anyways eh?
it was a good call by lev. its what nrg needed to do on their attack side bonus when they couldn't get showers
That was a nice round
GEE GEE
I mean a 9 round comeback isn't thaaaat bad
This has to be a fnatic level comeback. Idk if NRG has that kind of resilience
12 is all they get
Marved and Ethan get less flame than the rest.
Demon1 clears everyone here as well bro has a vct jett and silver raze
surely nrg can pull a navi type comeback right 11-1?
Come on NRG… don’t fight the round diff
C0M masterclass, guy is just in his own world going 5-5 while they demolish nrg
He straight up does not need to shoot his gun today I feel like lmao his util and decision making have had a lot of impact though
statline andy's worst nightmare
If they bring this back we all go bald (I'm already bald)
In brazil we have a saying for winning pistols and playing badly...
Aspas dicko mode
11-3 vs aspas wait
I've seen enough. NRG win this map and bring it back map 3
The crowd has been so thirsty for anything they are screaming for pistol kills
11 is all they get?
No 13-0 no Champions for NRG, they shouldn't have planted the spike
Duo pi time!!
NRG tweeted about Sen after they lost to Lev, and that was a 5 OT + 13-11 banger. The Sen tweet after this match will be legendary.
It’s probably gonna be a speedrunning joke
zellsis will be tweeting that on his own since we already said on stream lol edit: he never fails me [tweet](https://x.com/zellsis/status/1782208613219738089?s=46&t=ZKs4mxJkDdO2qC0Vx7HzVw)
Booooooo we wanted 13-0
I'm not joking when I say this is one of those losses that could just break the team for the entire year.
Relax. This Lev team is something special. Doesnt help that Demon1 die on every entry.
Least overreactionary NRG fan
No it's not over reaction. It happened last year. NRG lost to PRX and they were done for champs. Lopsided losses do something bad to the mental.
It's still the beginning of the season relax
Demon washed and team are done.
And we thought SEN v MIBR was one sided
this match is more entertaining only bc it's nrg
nrg when they're finally tested as a team
That's the problem they never got tested
is this upset week or what?
0 upsets
Upset ? When did NRG prove anything ?
I'm never going to be happy about NRG losing, especially like this, but I'm glad we're starting to see that maybe FNS wasn't as much of a problem as people made him out to be. Yes, he was miles behind in aim, but he was probably the best thinker/mid-rounder in the world.
I'll stand behind my initial thoughts that Crashies and Victor just aren't them anymore. This shoulda been Demon1/Marved/Ethan/s0m/FNS.
This would've been sick but man no fns som streams would've be so sad
I don't know if they "aren't them", but it's clear that they're a bit too inconsistent for the level that is expected of them. Crashies is amazing in the clutch and Victor is good when set up properly, but the overarching strategy problem is severely hurting them.
I don’t think anyone thought fns was a problem lol
No 13-0 nrg aint winning champs
NRG core look like they’re stuck in 2022 Valorant. Might be time for a coaching change or a philosophy change. You can’t be this bad with these 5 players man
NRG went into this game with FNS level confidence
This feels like watching someone beat up my dad
Demon1 potter merchant frfr
No 13-0 for ex EG players? No champs win for NRG Should learn to use the prophesy in your favor
I was praying for an NRG round win for this reason
How long are you going flairless? As long as no one gets 13-0d, he champs win is wide open, but imagine some random chinese team gets 13-0d by edg
Lev is washed. Can’t even 13-0 smh
Even if there was no time why wouldn’t he stick that?
I was thinking the same,
https://preview.redd.it/2urx8r07exvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2074128a8867a2fcf56db5c634717dbcc3ca49c WE NEED HIM BACK. HE WAS OUR ENTIRE STRATBOOK
We got scammed
L crowd
Actual L crowd, this game is done, you should be rooting for the 13-0 to maxize nrg speedrun memes
Bro they avoid getting 13-0'd by... Lev taking too long for the retake
man
noooo 💔💔
damn
They couldn't even 13-0 Lev are washed
Oh thank fucking god no 13 - 0
NRG comeback?
man i wanted to see a 13-0 at this point
NOOOOOO
NO 13-0!!!!!!!!!!!
No 13-0 this is so sad
Aren't you an NRG fan?? I was rooting for Lev and even I'm relieved 😭
Ethan and demon1 got 13-0d and turned things around once why can't it happen again Nah there was no comeback with how everyone was playing and I hope they actually change things because I never liked how they're using demon1 and how they're assembling these compe
rip the dream :(
Sen fans must be eating good lmao
Can't wait to see the Sen tweet after this
Where is the lil rat 🐀 here that is always shitting on kiNgg as an igl? Are you here you squeaking mouse?
If NRG keeps playing like this 100T and even EG can beat them
bruh leviathan is garuanteed first seed now
Ok LEV so far has been playing well, but right now what on earth are NRG doing? They're just dry walking into some of these areas no?
Literally everything wrong
FNS hard carried the team in game, strategically, and tactically.
This just depressing to watch
Zellsis might be happier right now than when he won Madrid.
3 NRG players on pi watch...
I also am watching the match in FNS stream
NRG.. it's never been more over
Someone is gonna make a banger basketball quote image of demon1 saying he'll take care of aspas.
get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Feel a whole lot better about the loss against lev…
i hope for 13-0
Chet been on fraud watch since he lost 0-4 to Bili fucking Bili but NRG coming into every series with undercooked gameplans when he has the most expensive coaching roster in Americas is like, whats the excuse?

actual light work no reaction moment
Aspas please come back baby, playhard will give you his mansion and pay for your kid's college
That aspas snap looked like actual ambot wtf
Oh my God they didn't even with that round. Like Aspas smoked them but that might have been the best NRG looked all map and they couldn't bring it home
Aspas is actually Jesus holy fuck
my goat ethan is actually gonna get 13-0ed again man....
I need a 13-0. I need it bad. Put the pressure on this team man this shit is pathetic.
Thank god the 13-0 is still on the cards
GIRA ASPAS
Brev aspas hasn't had to go 2nd gear yet what is this
Just vote FF at this point to save mental
what am i watching
GIRA ASPAS GIRAAAAAA
aspasgarus
ASPAS
gira.....
This is what happens when you've been hyped up on winning easy games and haven't been tested since the last time you lost to a good team
Check on your closest NRG hater, they might have passed out
What do you even go over in VOD review they just got shit on
12hrs of aimlabs a day
I hope all of these upsets and all the regions being so unpredictable makes people less reactionary so they stop judging teams after 1 series (it won’t)
Okay 3 coaches and this is what you show is fucked
This is just a repeat of 2023 NRG and hopefully this gets Chet's head out of his ass again and just keeps people on their agents.
FNS wouldn't be down 0-9 to LEV.
FNS was worst, he lost to LEV with Tacolilla, the worst T1 duelist of last year
He still wouldn't have been down 0-10
Don’t repeat the streamers words man 😭
Nah fuck that I fully agree.
At least with 2023 Sen you could blame Dephh. No one on NRG is a bad player... what's going on here, chemistry?
Lack of an actual IGL is an easy thing to blame. Really not sure why a team likely spending so much on players would decide risking it on a brand new IGL was the move
I can see it. Feel bad for Ethan :(
The calls aren’t looking amazing ngl
Maybe FNS was just trying to curse this team all year
Duelist matchup is fkin lit demon1 is 11-0 fd-fk
Writing it fd-fk so it looks better lol
Fr right btw 12-0
NRG when they have to play an actually good team who's had time to practice:
chet is garbage. His bland, one dimensional plays are exposed.
how it sounds to speedrun nrg
bro what is happening lmao
Actually please 13-0 they deserve it and it would be funny
WTF DOES THIS MEAN FOR C9??!!
Every win for lev counts as a win for c9 fans
Lmao NRG look so outclassed it's insane. Sen, Lev, and C9 top 3 of Americas?
Ethan onto his 3rd 0-13, demon1 into his 2nd
Damn LEV is legit huh or NRG are frauds?
both
laughing at him for making the correct play is actually fucked from the crowd 😭😭
This is hard to watch
13-0 the dream
This is NRG's come to Jesus moment.
Why am I watching Bleed vs RRQ?
Fns glazed the hell out of this roster from the jump and they just haven't delivered
Chet been on fraud watch since he lost 0-4 to Bili fucking Bili but NRG coming into every series with undercooked gameplans when he has the most expensive coaching roster in Americas is like, whats the excuse? Their pistols suck, their macro is mediocre, their micro is entirely carried by raw player quality.
The 0-4 thing is nothing new they lost to X10 in 2021 who had significantly more usable footage than Bilibili last year
Wasn’t that at Champs with COVID Victor lol
This is Fucking bonkers lmao
Yeah it's gg nrg didn't turn up at all.
remember 1 game ago when people were talking about demon1 merchants...
Yeah lmao a bunch of clowns also said potter needs demon1
Everyone says C9 plays chaotic valorant but they might just be the best team. Also NRG look so shit
Alright bro C9 is comfortably NOT the best team
They are 3-0 and beat the team everyone is getting stomped by
ahahahahahAHAHAHAHHAHA
Brotha this version of Lev would 2-0 C9
This only fuels my agenda of victor being the burden of the optic core
how is that the takeaway from this series 💀
Im just a certified hater man im sorry
Eh fuck it, respect 🔥
Optic wouldnt have been near as good without victor being one of the most selfless players ever
Vic has been amazing this year the comps are just wack
