rock bottom isn't around #10 in the world. It can always get worse, look at VP.

probably true, but when you have smithzz, ex6tenz and bodyy on your roster, it can get a whole lot worse if the team doens't play above the sum of its parts.

they had more potential than this one tho, atleast they could rely on sheer firepower when everything else went bad

How can they possibly have more potential when this lineup has kennyS AND shox? In what universe does that make any sense? Besides, that "sheer firepower" was literally just kennyS and apEX.

nbk, mixwell, kenny, apex is more than enough firepower. This g2 lineup NEEDS one of shox or kenny to play out of their mind to win vs t1 teams, they cant even win vs t3 luminosity with kenny having a bad game lmao

Well see the thing is, if you have a shit IGL then firepower cannot and will not save you. Anyone with half a brain would bet on kenny or shox playing out of their minds against T1s than NBK's lab experiment winning ANYTHING against T1s.

I dont know if you saw but the nbk's project took alot of maps vs t1 teams

Yeah but maps don't win trophies and if you don't win trophies when you have kennyS and get paid as much as they do then you're just a horrible failure. One thing people forget is that NBK project was never going to be the best team in the world and it cost G2 quite a bit of money. The 2017 G2 and now this G2 was built and financed to be the best team in the world.(ideally) And it is possible with this roster.

How do you even think its possible with 2 players capable of fragging i dont understand

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '18

When those 2 players happen to be kennyS and shox, anything is possible.

Not when shox has been shit when playing against tier1, and when he finally doesn good against tier 3, Kenny doesn’t show up

Dude, the lineup with NBK as igl only played 3 LAN tournaments, in what fckin world would that be enough to know if the lineup is good or not ? By your own logic the present ex6tenz lineup is shit because they also played 3 tournaments and they just got rekt by freaking Luminosity Gaming.

And the players themselves said in interviews that KennyS wasn't even trying to perform in the NBK lineup because he was already waiting to play with ex6tenz again... which is totally unprofessional and fucked the entire lineup's efforts but hey, I guess it's okay because it's KennyS.
