I think that series was more about whether GG showed up than anything else. Nouns played well, and showed that they can be top teams if those teams don’t play at their best. But when they do, they still get outplayed. Gaimin showed a lot more discipline and respect in game 2 to even up the series, and then it seemed like they broke them in game 3.
Nouns are still a good team, and I think with experience, they can continue to improve and place well in tournaments. Fly looks like he’s doing a good job captaining them, and they are playing very well as a unit (which is what I think plagued NA teams the most historically). But still, they have a lot of work to do before they can beat the best teams in the world (assuming they give them the respect they deserve).
Maybe, yeah. I’m wary though after game two and three. If it was only a case of choking on execution and being mechanically outplayed by a by all accounts superior team then that’s one thing, that happens. Drafting weirdly and poorly when you have to perform doesn’t inspire confidence in me. We’ll see if they can rally for the lower bracket.
