NRG 2024

Know that some people think EWC is just an "off season" event but the teams that NRG faced (excluding MIBR) were not at masters so they would want to qualify for this event. Lowk after seeing this team and Ethan's IGLing, 2024 NRG looks more like a demon1 can't play duelist besides jett more than a massive IGL problem.

or maybe ethan just got better at igling

2024 nrg was d1 cant play duelist besides jett wym
ethan just needed some coaching unironically, he still hasn't proven anything against actually good teams but for now it looks promising

Hopium ain't coming back unless I see them go to champs

2024 nrg felt like a team full of egos and 0 vibes, even after they swapped victor and demon1 roles for raze maps they still looked like shit on their attack rounds. They had some rounds where ethan misses a kayo molly or the flash timing is bad, just a team that looked like they had zero chemistry

ethan for sure got way better at calling, and yeah mada is a better duelist too

Its just honeymoon period with skuba.Def Going back to default in next stage & not gonna make champs.

keep in mind nrg beat geng with fns in offseason.

Maybe Coaching Staff changes and Ethan is getting help in mid round call this year

mada can actually entry and path well

but

ethan also has improved alot it looks like, s0m said the team learned alot from fns
also better vibes
also more motivated with t2 players
also demon1 aint missing pracs falling asleep anymore and less internal issues

so 2024 and 2025 is like completely different situations

I mean in 2025 they have a real good duelist like mada split before bangkok was insane(+ just look the entry made by mada against 100t bro is good), being the highest rated player (like kaajak kickoff before toronto) + victor and crashies kinda looked lost sometimes.
Ethan has also improved while playing with FNS and probably has improved a lot.
And som is the goat :)
