Two North American giants meet at Worlds. G2's European roster has adapted to the Worlds meta faster than any NA team — their boost efficiency and rotation structure in 5-game series is demonstrably stronger than what they showed at regionals.

NRG built their season around individual mechanical peaks. jstn's ceiling is higher than anyone in this bracket, but NRG's floor is also lower. They go off-script in overtime situations in ways that have cost them three series this season.

Betting Angle: G2 at 1.80 is the lean. More consistent, better series preparation. If you believe in NRG's upside, take them on game handicap (+1.5 at 1.45) rather than outright.
