NRG vs WBG - Game 3 | Quarter Finals LoL Worlds 2023 | NRG vs Weibo Gaming - G3 full

[@TobiDaJoker]

Contractz: It was the year 2023, we were down 0-2 against Weibo, backs against the wall, and Palafox turns to me and says "Contractz, if you want to win, if you want to show the world what NA is about, you need to go GOD MODE like you did against G2. We need you, NA NEEDS YOU" Contractz son: And then you reverse swept? Contractz: Of course not, 3-0

I'm not a fan of either region so I'm not familiar with the teams. However, even with my inexperienced eyes the gap between the teams is huge. NRG can't seem to get themselves together. I think they're not used to high pressure teams that are relentless when they get an advantage. Instead of calming down and maybe focus on objectives or macroplay, they get desperate and try to initiate teamfights that they can't win. I wonder if weaker regions should work out a deal with top tier regions to help them train their players. Having an LCK team or an LPL team winning the championship is getting too predictable.

It just blows my mind that G2 threw vs NRG when they are capable of taking wins from LCK and LPL teams. It's a shame because G2 would definitely have had a better chance against WBG. Though I wished NRG would have done it too. Tired of the same old LCK LPL finals.

[@ankaylance8279]

After 2020, those wins were in Bo1s, but, never again in Bo5s. In this WC, G2 won Bo1s again, but, lost 3 Bo3s in a row. For Bo5s you need adaptability, mental strength and comps, G2 can be banned out, particularly bot. EU teams usually crumble to the pressure and nowadays, unlike till 2020, LPL and LCK teams no longer fall for the "surprise comps" that EU teams used to bring in, either. NRG also had their close set Vs WBG, set 1, it's not like they got dominated the whole series. BLG Vs G2 is an example of how G2 can lose, set 2 (it was close, but...) like at that single loss at MSI by BLG, one mistake and they threw the win, set 3, BLG adapted, then also G2 were easily banned out and bot got outperformed. Maybe WBG 3-1 G2, playoffs it's a different thing and as you saw later, WBG made it till the final by beating BLG.

[@tarterustillhavingnodreams8351]

@advancedapathy1531Culture is for sure the biggest difference. For the west, this is a job. For the east, it’s a lifestyle. They take every game seriously in a way that the west just never will.

We respect our Asian overlords and just play for the lols.

I really think it’s time to consider giving NA only 2 spots at worlds, or make 3rd seed play through play-in, so teams like PSG or VCS teams can have more exp with international competition and grow. If the first seed from NA can’t even take one game from fourth seed LPL then what’s the point, because LPL fans know that 4-8 seed in the lpl are basically all the same. Tbh EDG,TES, OMG would have all win over NRG, so why not let more regions get a chance because na have been disappointing and isn’t improving at all after so many years.

[@gregpartridge7554]

If you want to take away seeds from regions with more and give more to regions that have less, cool - but don't pretend that performance is the reason, because none of those regions are doing better than NA. If you wanted to give LPL and LCK 3 seeds each and literally every other region 2 seeds, I'd be fine with that, I'm all in favor of interesting inter-regional matches. And mentioning PCS as a region to get more seeds instead of NA? Remember when they used to be a major region, with 3 seeds, regularly competitive with top NA and EU teams? If NA is disappointing to you with their lack of progress, how is PCS not even more so?

[@dongjiang3893]

@@gregpartridge7554 performance is definitely a reason. If I’m remembering correctly, GG didn’t make it out from play-in while TW and GAM had to face each other for one spot. PSG lost to BDS but was 2-0 in the series but I believe the stage was just too big for them and could have gone either way. GAM went on and beat TL in Swiss stage. NA 1 and 2 seed are definitely better than southeast Asian teams but that’s about it. Historically teams like TPA, FW, PSG all taken games from lpl and lck teams. So NA should get 2 guaranteed spots at worlds and 3rd seed goes through play-in and give one spot to vcs first seed. Don’t get me wrong lcs is definitely better as a whole than southeast Asian teams, but the top teams from vcs or Southeast Asia can be better and definitely more fun to watch at worlds.
