demon1 mentality throughout the years

i started noticing a big shift in his mentality based on his gameplay and interviews

• 2023 - fuck them all, i am the fucking best

• 2024 - yeah sure, i still got it

• 2025 - maybe... yeah, i am still good

i know that hes gone through a lot shit between 2023 and 2024 midseason:

• health state of his fiancee
• not being able to play with his EG brothers
• role swap screwing his comfort

but still i see that he is lacking that same confidence from 2023, not because he is shit but because he is not the same as he was. not worse not better, but different.
everything feels harder for him now, not because hes washed, but because hes carrying more weight than before, life happens and no one is safe against unexpected changes in it.

in some clutches from recent matches you can see that he is not confident in his moves, eventually losing a majority of them.
however, he played good considering the circumstances - brand new team, only 10 days of prep, plus a language barrier, that alone shows hes still got it.

i am not saying that it is his fault or he is cooked, i believe that he is still capable to reach 2023 level in right conditions. talent is still here, he just needs the right environment to bring it back out.

bro had such a HIGH peak that it legit hurt his career overall,people expect him to perform at that o near that level everytime

yk what sliggy said... demon1, time to learn mandarin

It's what happens when the average monkey puts unrealistic standards.

He is very good and strong Mental with how much he's gone through, Being the best player in 23 and farming haters all year and next year not being able to perform as expected due to all the team factors and other IRL issues while he was in NRG and now all the haters got the chance to jump on that guy without knowing what he was going through and getting benched mid way to get on LEV this year being the best player in a fully dysfunctional team and till getting benched because the coach is an idiot LUL
He went to China as a sub with less than a week of practice to play a new role in CHAMPS of all tournament and put up a solid performance, especially after watching their comms video

bro saw success which every valorant pro dream of achieving at such a short time that it's just hard to replicate it atp

crazy how he could've been as good as aspas if every team adapted to him instead of the other way round

he just got lazy cos he has a shit ton of money now that's the truth
