DUDE

Ethan is one of the most experienced player in the league
he will be able to IGL

I know he is the igl buddy but I don’t know how good he is. Even if he has so much experience , there is a chance he can still be dogshit . I do hope he is good at the role and performs good and not end up like marved in sen

Nah, FNS lying and letting this team crumble from the lack of IGLing. That way his work will be recognized and he'll have NRG on their knees offering bank for him to come back.

Truly another FNS masterclass 🚬🍷

Yeah if only fns could average more than 10 kills per map :( he would be perfect. His age was catching up to him sadly 😥

Why do you think NRG will fail just because Ethan hasn’t IGLed yet???
FNS wasn’t born with his IGL power. Plus the concept of IGLing is really not that difficult for radiant players to get a grasp of.

marved's only impressive performance was rekjavik 2022, amazing how you can do well in one singular tourney and get people to believe you're the shit. s0m was doing better in a more competitive year and on a worse team

yes coz u already forgot how good yay was. like in future u will forgot how good demon1 was when some X comes to fill that void. lmao

btw do the homework, stats wise yay had better champs 2022 than demon1 champs 2023. and he didn't even win that tournament.

"do the homework" holy ur weird, 2022 yay is not "way better" than demon1 and demon1 is not "way better" than yay. Idc if you think yay is better overall but I hope you can understand that the gap between the two players are close which is what I'm implying. Also yay was getting outperformed during the playoffs in that same tourney you linked, not the best representation for your argument no one brought up ngl.

you gonna tell me that the pressure and overall gameplay of playoff matches especially in deep runs when there are literally more matches to be played are the same as groups?

count how many maps yay and demon1 played during the playoffs and count how many maps they played in groups, big difference to their stats that you linked yourself!!! Also why'd you forget about the higher pressure and stronger quality of teams thats only found in playoffs lmfao.

Putting 5 champs together doesn't always equate to good synergies and a winning formula. Let's see what happens. Hoping they can cook up something good.

FNC could clear them sure
PRX? Depends on how well they can change their system - w-key needs to be less aggressive with Monyet
Lev? Aspas is obviously insane, not sure how C0M will look though
Loud might've lost Aspas, but saadhak, Less and Goatzin are still great - sure there's a chance, but on paper NRG >
