Ardis ain’t baiting on Jett brotha. Cuz if he is whose entrying? He entries on haven and split for sure. Plus no one saying that marved and yay are bad, just that marved isn’t somehow massively better than S0m just for nostalgia’s sake.

THIS hundred percent. Which is why victor was underrated despite being a mid fragger and why he frags now they aren’t on his team. He had to run and die so yay could hold angles and marved could lurk.

Your telling me cloud trexx and Ethan are all better than davaii whose also igling?

Optic core literally mentioned that yay and marved are the biggest baiters on the team. Marved lurked early in 2022, but by the end he was trading most of the time.

I think moving victor fully to duelist and letting yay pick up killjoy/chamber/cypher would be perfect. Victor isn’t an insane fragged but he always entries and is selfless plus he has good movement. Sentinels should suit yay perfectly. NRG’s problem isn’t necessarily fire power, it inconsistently. Vic and crashies can be insane fraggers, and even Ardis can, but everyone other than S0m is wildly inconsistent. Pair that with the walking orb that is FNS, they need consistent, not explosive players

YES YES YES YEs
MARVED HAS THE BEST FUCKING PR TEAM EVER
Bro struggled to clear 1 rating other than Reykjavik 2022
Insane at Reykjavik, mid at Copenhagen, mediocre at champs
He doesn’t lurk nearly as much as everyone says he does
S0m clutches the same amount as him
Bro had 2 good games on sentinels and everyone said he was insane
Mako is better
Pancada is better
S0m is better
Mindfreak is better in 2023

Normally I would think BLG could but DRX are in rare form. all of them are fragging well and their strats are as clean as ever.I honestly think they are either winning a championship now or never (without significant roster changes).

No one considers them trash, they are prolly the biggest dark horse of the tournament. They struggled in Tokyo and in group stage comparative to fnc, prx, DRX, and EG. Their issue is their comps and something is missing, maybe confidence or hunger.

S0m finished the highest rated controller and victor top fragged half of NRG’s total games in Tokyo. It was crashies who mainly disappointed.

Less is insane, I think he’s more consistent then Suygetsu and slightly better than nats. He diffed Alfajer in sap Paulo but Alfa has improved hella now so we need to see them play again to truly see who the best it.

Aspas looks kind of shaky this tourney, Cauanzin is playing well, less is playing well, Tuyz and saadhak are playing ok, but it feels like this LOUD roster peaked after lock-in while fnatic (specifically Alfajer and boaster) have just got individually and collectively better

LOUD cuz I want them to upset
Idrc who wins the tourney, hopefully DRX tho cuz they deserve it at this point the poor guys

Appreciate the trigger warning

I’m not sure Zekken is that consistent either, or at least he wasn’t in the past. Flex players by nature are inconsistent. FNS also mentioned that victor helps with attack side midrounding. I think Zekken is equal to victor and has more potential but Victor should not be the first/ only one dropped on NRG.

Bro didn’t preform better than victor in one tournament in 2023 all year long

He was their best player in champ, 2nd highest rated and arguable best at Tokyo (top fragged 3/6 matches), 3rd highest rated player in vct americas. He was mid in 2022 but has been great in 2023.

Whose gonna replace victor? Who is a better flex player in Americas league? He or S0m have been statistically NRG’s best player year long and he can play almost every role.

Leaf for sure if they can get him
I think FNS values flexibility and leaf can play sentinel and skye on top of all 3 duelists

This was un ironically victors best year
Shit at lock-in
Nrg 3rd best player at vct americas
Nrg 2nd best player at vct Tokyo (he topfragged 3/6 matches)
Nrg best player at champs

Definitely hope they don’t drop him bro improved so much now that he don’t need to support marved and yay
