what would fix NRG? who should be head coach? potential roster changes heading into stage 2? FNS booted?
Well NRG have an insane Duelist in Mada and one of the best smokes player in s0m. They need ethan to perma play initiator no more yoru for him. As for FNS I don't have a fix for them unless they are open to find an igl like mitch/johnqt from tier 2. I think FNS gets way too much criticism but at the same time I truly find it appaling that being a pro player with constant crticism reagarding their aim has never shown any visible efforts to improve in that department. Everyone has been pleasantly surprised with the improvment that boaster made in the deparment through effort after kickoff but that has never been the case with FNS.
They should trial VORA/GLYPH as a viable tier 2 replacement.
Brawk is a good player but he does not have the same firepower like verno/N4rrate/trent. So in an ideal world if they can sign trexx that would boost there chances for a run in stage 2 but they need to really work there asses off during this 2-3 month break.
The org needs to step in at this point honestly and find a clear direction for the team, you can't have players dictate like that as its not healthy for a team. They can either say forget about this year we rebuild next year and if ethan and s0m leave after FNS retiring might as well start thinking about next year rn. Sen 2023 were a mess and after they bombed out of split 2 they rebuilt the team with a few core members and bringing qt( the best decision ever), resigning TenZ and zellsis . NRG need to try and replicate this, find potential replacements for s0m, ethan and FNS. Moreover they need to beg bonkar to takeover and give him full control of the team, no more players having the final saying bs.
