if you hint at NRG: it is an American organization with 5/8 Americans on their squad (2 active players + Eley, just9n, SileNt). just because hltv get them an EU flag doesn't make the team an EU team.

eUnited are definitely better than LG, no doubt. They won against paiN, and paiN is much better than LG right now. I believe they will grab a few maps in this tournament, but Renegades, EchoFox and Splyce would smash them for sure.
