Noticed this moment interesting, makes the call and realizes that cortezia isn't connected so he is stern and decisive on the call. I can definitely see why on NRG if he makes a decision like this, players will not want to trust him or disrespect him out of ego. If Verno wasn't strict there, then cortezia would've just thrown the round and they would've lost their timing for the retake. It's moments like this that are super significant that I think Verno capitalized on, while NRG likes to be very hesitant(we've seen this FOR YEARS). Can see Verno molding into Zellsis in the long future of his career.
