I think he could do it, def the IGLing is the weak point on this team right now as expected

Oh I agree with that, its a move to improve Demon1s agent pool and its clear part of it is the learning curve cus his Raze is mid, that being said today stuff like nobody breaking trips on Sunset and just the reads LEV had on both maps made it pretty hard for him to be an effective entry on top of his limited skillset on raze.

Definitely not efficient and I see why they're doing it but its not the sole reason why NRG got shit on today

Nah this is facts

I think anyone with half a brain could agree with that, idk what chet was thinking with this one

Honestly I agree

maybe so, but it doesn't change that Victor is better than Demon1

hopefully, just means sen baiters gonna have nobody to go after when they do (i dont like them either, they ruin the fanbase)

5head statement

definitely

Real

honestly i think everyone agrees

actual stupid call imo

y1y*

Yeah this is cooked

Victor Raze > Demon1 Raze

experience on top stages + chemistry with rest of current roster

VLR users and trying not to over react (impossible)

First map, hopefully bounce back but Kinggs reads were insane

rent free

Hopefully we bounce back

I agree with this, I'm just saying who would we swap s0m for on the current roster?

Under NRG players currently, I'd say yeah his smokes > ethan but s0m isn't an IGL (yes ik his igling is mid)

I'm not discounting his success I was really happy to see him get the stage he deserved after watching NRG pre franchise struggle despite s0m being insanely consistent on every role imaginable on that team. He'd be a better smokes player on most of these other teams, but Marved > s0m at face value.

This is actually smart, but I can't fault then for tryna make Demon1 expand

he got his win, he is y0y no more, y1y is more accurate

yay catching strays is crazy

Marved > S0m, as much as I love s0m he's a step under most of these guys. Does it suck that he got dropped, yeah 100% I thought it was a dumbass move but I get why he wanted to go to streaming instead.

Its a combo of both, NRG calls are pretty shit right now compared to other maps and Kingg is reading them like a book

first map, yeah they're getting shit on but everyone per usual jumps the gun

map picks get traded all the time

yeah same

fr fr

2-1 NRG hopium

Ethans been solid his entire career in both Val and CS?

Players like Jawg and Boostio were also good enough to be Tier1 Val in NA since like 2021 despite the EG org always being a mid pack team pre franchising.

Facts

EG and MIBR > Furia

Runi is solid, I'd say he's one of those good enough to be franchise level but not a superstar player, shouldn't have dropped him to begin with imo.

As for Moose I'd say he's a really underrated player, glad he got his shot in franchising but I wouldn't have thought he would be the first SR/LG core member to make it when Bdog and Mada exist

Yeah that is true but it could very well just be an off day, upsets happen

GE won today, Bleed won, C9 won

Friendly reminder they lost to TS in regular season last year too

Likely one bad game they'll still be top 3 Pacific

Yeah last week

Upset weeks

Boomer

This is just lying on bros name at this point, even in map 1 when Bleed threw he was constantly rooting for Yay and calling him his king, he was critical when bleed played like shit some rounds and did make the bl00d and y0y references but he was rooting for him and just giving his input the whole time, you weren't watching the same stream apparently

we dont claim him

I went to sleep after map 1 because they decided to throw a 9-5 lead and thinking it was joever, just for them to win cleanly the next 2 maps? wtf bleed

I went to sleep after map 1 being disappointed in them throwing, and they decide to WIN!?

disband

yeah i'll give credit to the rural parts of cali and yeah its got some good natural beauty thats some of the best in the country, wouldn't say its THE best though.

You can find non americanized places all over the country tbh but thats always a plus when it does exist nearby

northern cali like western washington both are nicer natural areas but at the same time midwest clears

midwest > east coast > south > northeast > west coast

Washington is dogshit compared to the rest of the US, but yeah its better than Cali
