'''During the FURIA off-season testing phase for assembling the new roster, I received information that some foreign players currently playing for other VCT Americas teams turned down the organization’s project because they didn’t trust shaW’s work and wanted a different name on the coaching staff.

Now, those same players are watching from the comfort of their couches as he secures the spot for the Masters Santiago.''

i know some of those players were tier 2 players, i really wish the names had leaked

his track record of being dropped by NRG and LEV within one split? besides this isn't even a hypothetical, he didn't get offers (at least not from any teams he desires, which clearly don't value him as much as he values himself) which is why he isn't playing so no he does not have a choice

It's his choice are we seriously mad at D1 cause he supposedly rejected a team. A first time t1 coach a team that many people used to say are gonna disappear in a few years.
I don't think the furia rebuild memes helped also

No surprise here really. Demon1 probably wants a team with the same pedigree that he has in his head. No shade at Demon1, but he has personal standards he's probably looking for to maximise his enjoyment and comfort in the game. I remember when the replacements for Cane and Ion2x came about and I hoped Demon1 would be thrown in, but it was kind of weird that he became the option after keznit and Rossy.

I will say that Demon1 is difficult to have on your roster in the current double-duelist heavy meta. Lots of double-flash or double-dive comps being used and rarely with a Jett involved. Chamber is somewhere in the middle rising back into popularity which is where Demon1 can thrive. I think his Astra and Brim can be utilised as well since these were agents he showed comfort and capability with. I wouldn't swap Demon1 for anyone on the current FURIA roster though since the team is comprise of players who know their role and flex as much as they are needed to.

He could just stick with sentinel idk why he isnt just doing that. Im guessing Furia would be -Koalanoob +Demon1 if he did accept so he would play senti with artzin sticking with flex but idk if that would be good particularly

Teams are probably demanding that players utilise Viper and Astra as lurking smokers. We saw Demon1 play Viper and Astra for ENVY as opposed to Chamber.

-Koalanoob +Demon1 with our current knowledge would probably be a worse off outcome given Demon1 having a weird situation where if he is comfortable with an agent, he can excel, but if he is not comfortable, he will suffer. And this is particularly in regards to Demon1 playing Omen and Yoru which seems to be the pocket pick that Koalanoob is cooking on.

I can see -nerve +Demon1 being viable where Demon1 uses artzin's smoke agent pool -Omen +Chamber, Veto, Vyse and Artzin is basically playing Viper, Omen, Tejo, KAYO.

Considering this NA-oriented project from the org and Demon1 did say he got some offers from Tier 1 teams in the past, there is a fairly high possibility Demon1 was offered.
