Umm JDG is about to win LPL Sping, MSI, LPL summer, and Worlds. Never been done, the league equivalent of a grand slam.

[@KingR098]

​@@dedratrsthat's if JDG does it. They deserve it if they do but remember RNG was in the same position in 2018 and they got upset. I think every team on their side of the bracket has a legitimate chance of making the upset (still JDG favored but IMO the strongest teams sans GenG are in their bracket)

[@jonathancui1658]

this is someone from the lpl commenting: in this series NRG has shown undoubtedly a LPL top level team performance. They performed fearlessly and fought actually as a coherent team instead of playing individual games. I’d say NRG definitely won their reputation in the LPL. NRG is legit a world class team. Congrats from the LPL❤

[@Andreeee75]

The question is: Is this LCK top level?!

[@DominickRoselli]

40:29 - This. So often I see western underdog teams play scared in these tournaments; they don't want to lose, they don't want to int, and the pressure gets to them. So far, NRG seems immune to that. Yes, they aren't perfect... but they are not scared.

Imagine if FNC gets past WBG somehow and run into NRG in quarters. NRG could avenge nearly a decade of humiliation by crushing 3 LEC teams at a single event.

[@Darkstormsun9865]

A decade of humiliation? NA barely plays against EU lol. Until 2018. NA was winning head to head.

[@dontask3613]

While that would be hilarious, I'd just rather LEC get knocked out with the shit winrate they have right now. Both G2/FNC out tomorrow and I'm a happy man. Give EU a taste of their own medicine and while I won't go around rubbing it in as they have spent years doing to us( literally making fake "na fan here" posts asking for the region to lose a spot at worlds) I will still just be content with them seeing what its like to have all their teams not show up, funny shit is there teams are actually not bad teams... Just like most of the teams we send every year with the exception of a couple bad 3rd seeds here and there were never as bad as people said, they just failed to show up on the day half the time and a ton of those players were literally like fuckin PTSD riddled veterans who choked harder than pamela anderson

It's so crazy to think that CLG said "nope" to these guys and sold the team like 6 months ago. Like, how badly are most esports orgs run at the top? I really do think it might be a serious issue outside of Asia. And cash-happy NA orgs might be the worst offenders.

[@Darkstormsun9865]

Uhhh clg didn't want to sell themselves. It wasn't their choice, they were owned by MSG and MSG wanted to sell their esports team due to economic reasons.

[@dontask3613]

MSG one of the most dogshit orgs ever in my eyes now, and I'll never support any venture they have back into esports. The fucking horror stories out of that org.... So glad NRG showing them how its done now

@@Darkstormsun9865 okay, but if clg was owned by msg, then they are msg. Saying they didn't want to sell themselves is a weird phrase because they for all intents and purposes are msg.
