nrg’s issues summed up! enjoy!
- ardiis is a horrible duelist. cosplaying subroza game after game. aim is inconsistent, undecided phantom vs vandal.
- victor is playing support when he should play duelist. his playstyle is perfect for aggressive entry and he EXCELS at it even when his team is losing.
- s0m, crashies, nothing wrong with them, just don’t get overconfident after map 1. game isn’t over yet.
- fns, the calling is still good, i just dont like our current map pool, switching victor/ardiis roles mid series, and complacent comps that are not working. innovate a bit to suit each player better.
- pistols. c9 plays VERY aggressive on pistols, we have to match that, and win those, otherwise we always start the game 0-2.
- anti-ecos. we always win with few players alive, save more guns, try to always flawless these rounds.
- mechanics. ardiis and fns have inconsistent aim, hit aimlabs. train ardiis on better decision making and how to use the raze kit.
- map pool. can we not keep picking pearl. we almost lost twice to mibr and loud, this is embarrassing. pick a map that is comfortable, but not one that teams know everything about on you.
- innovation. create new comps that catch teams off guard. teams are expecting the same thing every time and its easy to read.
- change playstyles. why are we not buying more frenzy on pistol? be aggressive some rounds, more slow others. try using guns like odin or judge to get cheeky plays that catch teams off guard.
- overall. not a bad team at all. it just seems that we are complacent with comps and not sure about roles. teams are getting easy reads and map pool is very poor. try to avoid one sided maps like split or pearl that we cant take advantage of the one side.
- next transfer window. if we are not winning internationally, ardiis is off the team. import a GOOD duelist or solid flex from EMEA (they have VERY good players in this category) or scout from tier 2 NA (also some solid players). i trust in the NV core, keep them. if s0m has the same potential to overtake marved, we can keep him. if ethos is just on the bench, replace with an actual 6th man, probably from NA T2 that is very skilled in flex, preferably oxg reduxx, but any good ones work.
im very disappointed in nrg, i expected so much more from this team and the individual ability they have. we have world class players, we just have to keep them on what is comfortable. no more of this victor on viper or fns on kayo. dont be afraid to try new things. still my favorite team and have a special place in my heart, its just so saddening to see such a talented group with so much potential to go to waste.
before the haters arrive: FNS is still a world-class igl. sure he set up yay so well that they completely took over with chamber. but lets not forget that other teams had the same exact chance to. hes got great ideas that just arent be executed correctly. i hope you all realize that a team’s performance does not define the ability of an igl.
idc if u aint readin allat, and im not making excuses. just what i see is wrong and not working midway into the season :)
