NRG paved the path as a North American team to give their shot at winning Worlds. However, NRG has shown that they are here to play and defy expectations. NRG’s first response to winning was sending some heat right back to G2 after the LEC, as they thought NRG would be an easy opponent.

However, all the players performed decently, but Contractz’s gameplay was incredibly good in both matches and the rest of the team being on the same page as the series MVP jungler, NRG made it look easy. With momentum in their favor, who knows how far NRG will go? As they head towards the trophy, fans of both Noah Lyles and NRG seem to be eagerly watching.
