last year ethan igl'ed with chet as a coach

chet has 0 experience bringing up new IGLs, always worked with established callers

Bonkar is a much better coach and he is much more suited for this task.

you’re talking as if ethan is a rookie trying out igling. he’s a veteran player in multiple games, nrg last year had some god awful calling. some because of chet yes but also because of ethan

I think a big part of how a team functions with or without an IGL is the protocols and reactions the coach gives u

there's a reason why PRX always looks like a really good team even without a traditional IGL,

I get your point though, but they were DECENT ish with ethan calling there were bigger issues with demon1 and other things, that I think are gone now

Plus sometimes it just clicks and everything works

also i think one good thing fns did for the team in the last year was he influenced s0m and mada to an extent to be very vocal
whereas early 2024 NRG was used to having either FNS or Boostio call the shots and were kinda lost when ethan couldn't do it all and chet didn't have the same protocols
