The NXG vs. PE match—I just watched it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a massacre. NXG was absolutely brutal; beating five Masters felt like farming bots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way—PE performed really well in previous offline tournaments. Did NXG really crush them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final selection match, there’s a replay on Tencent Video—NXG nearly turned PE into a delicate pagoda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the topic was raised, the crowd’s discussion grew louder and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centered on the two male college students who started it, “NXG is unquestionably a preseason powerhouse—look at their team discipline; no other team comes close.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Playing a game with the feel of an army going to war—I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their tactical understanding is on a completely different level from other teams. JM, as the #1 player on the national server, is not only the midlaner but also the coach.
