Key Takeaways:

  • NRG’s map veto was criticized as one of the worst against Sentinels.
  • Their team composition in Lotus had some flaws, including the use of Clove, an agent with limited impact in pro play.
  • NRG’s comp on Haven was questionable, lacking an info initiator and forcing them into fast hits.
  • Their comp on Bind was outdated and ineffective, not considering the recent nerfs to Sky.

Struggles on Split and Success on Ascent and Sunset:

NRG’s comp on Split was similar to their ineffective comp on Bind, forcing them into a playstyle that didn’t suit their strengths. However, their performance improved on Ascent and Sunset with more conventional team compositions.
