NRG obviously experimenting comps

did we already forget what happened last year when NRG played LEV? they had ardiis on raze and he absolutely shit the bed.

They obviously knew putting demon1 on raze wasn't gonna end well, they just wanted to experiment and see how far they'd go with it.

do you guys really think they're gonna have demon1 play raze during games that actually matter? lets be real here. NRG is still a top 2 team in Americas, this one loss doesn't change anything.

"NRG is still"???

when were they? 💀💀💀

cope, the role issues were not that bad. They looked horrible fundamentally and looked like they didn't know what to do. Also, FNS said they looked super easy to read. MIBR were reading them but were getting aim diffed

i see your point but until we see victor on raze for the must win games against eg and 100t then this is hard cope

ethans igling looked super mid and the role issues was not the biggest problem with their loss but rather their fundamentals looked terrible and they had no depth in their game. While I do agree demon1 looked super uncomfortable on raze and was probably the worst player for nrg during that series he was not the reason they lost but rather just one of the many reasons.

i think demon1 should only play raze on sunset so vic can go cypher. on map like bind vic should go raze and demon1 on brim (he played brim on fracture with eg last year)

Experimenting against a really good team kind of feels like.. you're shooting yourself in the foot if you do that especially now when every game probably matters for the Championship points. They had a working blueprint on how to use Demon1 but insisted on doing some weird shit with putting him on Raze, and when he was doing good he was mostly aim diffing the enemy team instead of being a good Raze.

Imo its a troll move to get him on Raze, but its NRG who knows. They might just pull it back, go to Shanghai, meet a Chinese team, Demon1 might say some shit like "I don't even know their names" "We fosho ain't gonna lose to Dragon Ranger Gamimg" and then get upset twice, exit Masters Shanghai in just the group stage.
