NRG Esports vs Cloud9 - HIGHLIGHTS | Champions Tour 2025: Americas Kickoff

[@beefstiticinc180]

Xeppa had an actual life game

[@johwwa]

Gotta try his hardest a couple games to get that contract renewal (generational paycheck stealer)

[@zetsubou3704]

​@@johwwa😭😭😭😭

[@anjie4197]

Cope harder

[@ponkotuu]

nobody told xeppaa its an important game since technically its the offseason still

[@feet_investigatorr]

Xeppa had no business going that hard , his contract is already renewed 😭😭

[@Rapido7cold]

I really thought NRG could beat 2-0 because of their performance in off season. But this match☠️

[@melsy9355]

Why that emoji both games were close

[@Tryhaaard]

C9 will actually be tested when they face a good team, beating NRG is the minimum for any team except 2G

[@krizos5305]

​@@melsy9355Bro NRG just won SVL recently against one of APAC's strongest team and kept that very same roster all throughout the offseason. just to lose C9 who never had a finalized roster and kept changing prior to kickoff😂.

[@Rapido7cold]

@ they are meant to be good and the better team because they won 2 OFF SEASON events but how can you even lose to a team that is still new with their roster. Embarassing, I hope they can do better than this

[@ponkotuu]

​@@melsy9355we didnt watch the same game i guess

[@Syed-em5rk]

28:00 FNS shooting his own teammate kekw

[@Zod707]

the only good shooting he does is towards his teammates

[@user-kn2ky6im5g]

C9 has the potential to beat any team and lose to any team

[@miunin8719]

the best comment ever

[@Tryhaaard]

No they do not. Just because your expectations of NRG were high doesn't mean they beat some great team, put them against KC VIT TH FUT PRX GEN G T1 G2 EDG FPX SEN and see what happens

[@blvck.8197]

They could beat anyone of those teams bruv. It would just take a good day like today to do it. ​@@Tryhaaard

[@McLovin25165]

C9 gameplan: go wherever fns is

[@un_X_pected]

So true😂😂😂

[@forgeryoru9057]

Well... I think NRG's battle begins when they enter the Lower Division. During the offseason, they lost to MiTL once in a small tournament in Korea, but then ran all the way to winner. Let's see if that happens this time too. I'm happy to see C9 off to a good start. I've always suspected Xeppaa of being inconsistent, but it's been a while since I've seen him this strong. It looks like he's finally found the right agent and has improved his aim. I hope this continues. This year's kickoff is truly unpredictable. Which two teams will head to Thailand from each region?

[@LordVader-j8u]

@@forgeryoru9057 it was rapid lofi not mith

[@topebaldemoro9200]

Xeppa always strong at the start of the season. Watch where he chokes on big ass dik when there are stakes on the line again

[@krizos5305]

I mean when SEN also won SVL in 2023, they also got clowned first round but they win it all anyway

[@Nox5556-FCB]

​@@krizos5305yeh I remember loud brought the most unique comp on ascent and totally demolished sentinels

[@RRough]

Idk why anyone is surprised, FNS always loses to some bottom tier Teams at the beginning of every tournament and C9 always somehow look "good" at the beginning of every tournament...

[@WataDraggon]

c9 looked dog shit in 2024 kickoff and got owned by drx in lock-in so not always

[@megumi971]

Yeah its so funny

[@butcherdesuyoi]

But then the end script will be NRG qualifying and C9 not lmao

[@tcostas0181]

FNS should not be site anchor lowkey, he needs to be a rotation player

[@scoot5642]

@@butcherdesuyoi so far, all according to script

[@mendess1658]

FNS is a great player!! what he needs now is a manager or assistant who can encourage him to retire🤣💀

[@v1n88]

Lol Poopchan

[@watchitallburn]

23:09 what the hell is FNS doing not covering s0m? 0xy is FULL sprinting to kill s0m. I'm kinda stunned at how bad he is at times. 28:02 WHAT?

I love FNS but when FNS start fragging, NRG start losing 😭

[@panns7]

Xeppa found a 2nd prime this game

[@gigaazzahrawani6456]

We lost FNS watch party, and for what !?

[@fwzico]

xeppaa making sure his last paycheck will cover every bill XDDDD. All jokes aside, C9 net is a calm addition. Not Rossy levels of inspiration but could hold down sites/lurk when it mattered. The real litmus test is G2. Can OXY handle Jawgemo? Mitch VS Valyn?

[@Real_MrDk]

Bro, learn from the Tarik's editor, give fake time at the end in video to keep suspense for viewers, 🥺

[@IATIA_SolosYourFavouriteVerse]

During the match, the chat was filled with "FFFFFNNNNNNSSSS, ARE YOU OK?"

[@manage-man6392]

NRG has a habit of starting late, I don't have any doubt, they will comeback and defeat every single team out there, I know they will

[@Jeregolnumber9]

Maybe in stage 1 that would be possible but definitely not in kickoff because FNS will definitely choke no matter who is playing on his team. Now they're in the single elimination bracket, you lose or choke. Bye bye then

[@FanPEBBLE]

C9 showed in this match that they were fine even without Rossy.

[@kazxto_]

first game they almost lost a 10-2 advantage and 3rd game they nearly lost the 5-1 advantage, with rossy they would of closed both games out with dropping abt 6 rounds max between both games

[@TheRealJoelSosa]

@kazxto_this is just more proof the moose didn’t belong in tier 1

if nrg won game 1 with the 10-2 comeback that wouldve been epic

Why xeppa do well?

[@Kyva2198]

Come on Riot, we need Tejo Pro-play like this, just dont nerf him

[@Wealthysausagetouchers]

GUYS you don’t understand. This may look like NRG are back to throwing but this is just another fenis masterclass where he loses 2-0 his opening match of a tourney then they make a lower bracket run and qualify for masters Bangkok.

[@NaTHGamin]

27:58 FNS 😅🤣😂

[@jsssentcr379]

Damn I miss fracture, it's so good

they’ll get cleared by 100t next

[@addeo981]

[@TheLastQuazar]

I swear NRG only did their homework against top tier teams but lazy against lower tier teams

[@Jeregolnumber9]

That's like the worst excuse I've heard so far. If a team that wants to win Americas league then why would you be lazy against mid teams?

[@gpfhantom1890]

Regular Season Warriors strike once again, crazy that NRG lost, thought it was going to be an easy 2-0. Looks like they are taking the SEN route to kickoffs, they lost the first game, now they just need to win every single game from here on

[@Rapido7cold]

But this is C9, they're not even that good😂

[@Salza02]

FNS struggled map 1 and threw key moments C9 looked strong and had some chokes but I say better than last year

[@jjmlargo1424]

C9 is nrg kryptonite

[@jaybrown9794]

Bro he might be a great in game leader F.N.S and they have won 4-5 matches played but the man is barely immortal aimwise he goes negative his whole career i understand he plays sentinel just if they winning and he negative k.d what happens if the wheels fall off man. Som is the talented one

[@yempadayugesh8195]

I'm heartbroken boys. I have been waiting so long to see NRG dominate I guess thats never happening

[@Tejaswin-k5j]

Not oxy and friend this time

[@yaboifiz961]

Clown 9 is gonna repeat themselves. Perform well in the first couple months, later they will struggle and kick a player that actually wants to win

[@Jeregolnumber9]

Probably unlikely because right now they have an actual talented igl, unlike before they had Vanity who is a washed igl that played with outdated tactics. Mitch might be the one who can bring the higher consistency to this team. Let's see.

[@lonzoformvp5078]

off season merchants💀

[@manifiquetae8621]

They judt ended whatt

[@derfuhrer666]

Yup, as always. FNS is more suited to be a coach than a player. His brain is working but his aim is suck. Goodluck NRG

[@notenzo5743]

Is c9 really clown nine? Feel bad for rossy and moose but well, c9 winning

[@Il_Principessa]

This match is sure heated but lets hope this two teams don't choke qualyfor champions paris again

[@batak0p433]

bro tejo needs to be nerfed its so fucking overp

[@zacharynolan9553]

NRG sit still too much, need more constantly clearing map space as a unit with trades rather than just posting up. so many post plants where they outnumber C9 but give SO much space that C9 can literally 2v4 plant out of earshot and get settled enough to make it competitive. the passivity isn't gonna win anything just like it failed to before.

when did u play champs broo

another year of NRG being ass

[@LordVader-j8u]

yea C9 look absolutely insane and this roster might be the best one they have had till now.....and as for NRG, yea this team heavily underperformed and has really less chances to go to bangkok as they play SEN or 100T next game

[@andrewnguyen4913]

I mean it's just a c9 management getting lucky moment after throwing enough mud at a wall. It was still insanely terrible to drop Rossy. And I mean xeppaa is literally never going to play like this again. They are going to be painfully brought back down to reality after the g2 game. And for NRG I hope this isn't another bilibili situation

[@LordVader-j8u]

@andrewnguyen4913 well we can't say like even this match was not expected so c9 might be able to pull a miracle on g2 as well

[@gpfhantom1890]

Bro, C9 have a track record of doing well in the regular season and not making it into any international events, this isn't any different

[@SVNAWLE]

fns should retire broo

Please start making these videos like 12 minutes. There was not 30 full minutes of true highlights. Just get the best plays from the game we don't need these long ass videos I just wanna catch up not take half an hour to watch this.

[@krimzin4523]

Then just search up the score lol

[@senseiaces]

@@krimzin4523 Thats not the point, I made my point and what you mention just saying "Search up the score" has nothing to do with what I said. The video posted is boring af, there isn't 30 minutes of actual highlights in the game. Half of this was just basic kills, not flicks, round changing plays etc. Just basic kills and it was boring
