will nrg have enough fire power without Demon1 ?
Nah, that roster looks quite weak compared to some of the other Americas teams. Especially without Demon1
g2 didn't have enough firepower either but they made a deep run in shanghai
nrg will be fine but as boostio said you can't win champs with this kind of firepower
bro trent , valyn and leaf(on his days) , how much firepower u want. dont forget jonah is pretty clutch player and icy performed decent.
who in nrg som only ?
honestly theyll do good not good enough but i think ethan can bring some firepower but he's mostly support
NRG didn’t cook shit with Demon1. With FNS they are not even qualifying for playoffs
agreed. they literally sent him in to die every round with zero util to back it up
yeah igls dont play initiators for a reason, u have to setup ur team & igl and a player like ethan has to focus on fragging too
yeah its an upgrade in some departments but u are not looking to win champs without demon1, 100% this is just short term to get to 2025 looking just ok. its better IGLing thats for sure. honestly they need to get rid of victor and crashies mainly theyve just been there for a while and just looked mid. gekko is key alot of maps and crashies barely has util to use when they want to hit site. they just need to sort roles and actually have a game plan
Yes that's fair, they're not going to win Champs, but they had to do something with the team, because they weren't even going to MAKE champs, maybe not even playoffs the way they were playing. If it doesn't work this time, they should probably rebuild the whole team again, because that'll mean the OpTic core has given all it has to give
yeah 100%. i honestly wouldnt be surprised to see chet go but FNS stays at NRG and he builds the team around him. hopefully with ethan and demon 1 that would be good.
Wait why are people doubting FNS after what he did last year? Ethan is arguably an upgrade and definitely not a downgrade from ardiis
victor can play raze but obvs hasnt in a lan for ages (as far as im aware) but his jett idk. unless they go zero duelist
With the meta changes I could see them running jett on no maps at all and taking Neon and Raze, which Victor is really good on anyway, but he can probably play jett
the only issue i can see is icebox really. neon could work but im not really expecting big things from it. abyss works for both i reckon, haven back in means neon is pretty nice there too. it could work but im expecting him to maybe be a lil rusty which is fine! tbh the only thing im looking at is crashies cos his gekko is really not that good
doesn't matter if Chet is more focused on CS2 than Valorant. An unmotivated coach won't be a good one.
Imagine they had FNS to call, and demon1 still in the team. That sounds so much better on paper also i think FNS would know how to use him better
who u removing ?
som - smokes
fns - sentinel/viper
Demon1 - jett / flex (he is ass on raze , just give him cryo kind off role)
victor - raze/secondary initiator
who u removing ? crashies(a proper primary info initiator) or ethan (mostly secondary flash initiator)
ig it has to be ethan , so we just switching demon1 for ardiis , what's the point of the roster it is same as last year
