What will be happening bois any idea?
Crashies n vic still a duo most probably so if one is leaving the other will too. Ardiss is gone im 90% sure.
I'd think they will definitely keep fns, chet and som
koromast [#3]if vic and crashies leave the fix could be brawk and flyuh or nismo and eeiu
this wouldn’t even be an upgrade or a downgrade honestly that doesn’t even fix the problem (brawl and flyuh may even be a downgrade considering FNS is already igl)
jackb2016 [#2]maybe its time to try someone who isn't FNS
flyuh prolly the only good option and that’s still a downgrade calling wise from FNS, johnqt gonna get the bag dropped for him by either 100t or SEN
turkey [#5]this wouldn’t even be an upgrade or a downgrade honestly that doesn’t even fix the problem (brawl and flyuh may even be a downgrade considering FNS is already igl)
true, instead of flyuh get uhm... mada? zellsis? xxif? clear? corey?
koromast [#7]true, instead of flyuh get uhm... mada? zellsis? xxif? clear? corey?
if mada was consistent this would be good, maybe corey
jackb2016 [#2]maybe its time to try someone who isn't FNS
I definitely don't think FNS is the problem. He's a tier 1 caller for sure. It's like boaster in many ways. Just need a bomb ass squad around him.
ole_ [#9]get yay and run it back
honestly no fucking joke. Keep everyone and just replace ardiss with yay 🐐
I pray for whatever god exists for NRG to sign yay. I don't have anything against ardiis, I can't even say it's his fault NRG got grouped (let's be real, he played amazing against Zeta) but I wish yay can come back with the team. I genuinely think other teams won't use yay's potential to the best, he isn't the explosive type of player who would run through a smoke and get 3 kills, he's reserved and disciplined and FNS used that perfectly in 2022. Like, yay it's a player who can get ANY 50/50 first blood with the proper read and set up, if you appear on his screen you had very low chances to kill him because somehow he always hits the first shot. It's not like you can say "yay go kill" and expect him to go like aspas or any other duelist, no hate towards ardiis but yay was better in almost every aspect except the agent pool
hungeryman [#13]The game now requires a guy who can igl and frag well. EG PRX EDG Almost all of them have igls who have the fragging ability. Fns shpuld take up Chet’s role and let Chet retire. Bro already looks like he is been forced to coach. I’ve never seen him smile and always looks sleppy asf
He looks like those corporate slaves. Who works 20/7
JustEnjoying [#12]no way sen drop marved 💀
what if fenis ask nicely to give marved surely sen will give marved if nrg ask nicely?

You want chet to retire at 26 ? I feel the sleepy and forced look is just his resting face
JustEnjoying [#11]honestly no fucking joke. Keep everyone and just replace ardiss with yay 🐐
the issue imo is legit just ardiss playing like a god one game and being no where to be found the next
jackb2016 [#2]maybe its time to try someone who isn't FNS
fns is still the best mid rounder in americas, i mean just look at this team on paper and look at other teams like liquid and fnc and loud, nrgs firepower is nowhere near that of the other top teams yet somehow they still make international lans and do consistently good that just tells u how good of a caller fns is and how good chet is, imagine if fns and chet get actual top tier talent like sayf, cloud, trent or any other upcoming talent but the only problem i see is it will be hard for nrg to not keep their core of fns victor crashies and chet and they for sure wont drop som so the person to most likely leave is ardiis and if he is to leave then getting someone like sayf or yay or even zekken would be really good, would boost their firepower and give them a star player to build strats around

What you described is a perfect chamber player
They need explosive duelist with high firepower if letting go of ardiis , yay will be good sentinel player maybe
LyCan52 [#18]what if fenis ask nicely to give marved surely sen will give marved if nrg ask nicely?
Didn't think of that. Rob Poore will give if asked nicely surely
JustEnjoying [#10]I definitely don't think FNS is the problem. He's a tier 1 caller for sure. It's like boaster in many ways. Just need a bomb ass squad around him.
i don't think hes the problem either but they should at least experiment a bit in this off season

idk chet said they got outbrained by bianks midrounding in the post match press conference

Get yay on operator and FNS on aimlabs and they'll win it all 😍
cholikarr [#23]What you described is a perfect chamber player

Yeah I get your point and it makes sense, but yay isn't really a "duelist", the meta right now it's Jett heavy and the primary role for Jett it's just to Op on defense. That's the same role Chamber has. NRG already has Victor as their explosive duelist to play entry, Jett's primary role was always just to Op on defense, the entry part isn't a big part of her. You can already notice that because the moment an agent was good with the Op (Chamber) every team ran other duelist and even no duelist at all. Yay's would still play Jett on Ascent, Haven, Pearl and Split, and Chamber on Bind. And he can fill the KJ on Lotus and Fracture (just if they run Sova Raze like the last time they played, because we haven't seen their Fracture in a while and they even played Jett Skye, having a perfect spot for yay to play Jett)
Also, the smoke-dash entry isn't really a must use. Everyone thinks it's super important but teams just do it because they already picked Jett, so there's no point on not doing it, and even sometimes it's worse since it isolates 1 player and the rest of the team can be stuckeb behind a molotov. Splitting has always been the better way of approaching attacking rounds and site executes, and the prime for that playstyle was for example when teams ran no duelist Chamber triple Initiators on Ascent

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
Trisolaran [#31]Get yay on operator and FNS on aimlabs and they'll win it all 😍
fns judge > fns aimlabs

FNS and boaster are nothing alike
Boaster has always been one of the best fragging igls lol

Basically not an entry duelist , like what tenz is as jett with zekken being the raze , or even kang kang
hungeryman [#13]The game now requires a guy who can igl and frag well. EG PRX EDG Almost all of them have igls who have the fragging ability. Fns shpuld take up Chet’s role and let Chet retire. Bro already looks like he is been forced to coach. I’ve never seen him smile and always looks sleppy asf
bro thats jsut his face lmao
mon471 [#25]They will need a true duelist and Victor is not the guy. He’s the one whose most probably go
it's possible he goes but it's slightly more likely ardiis does. problem is crashies and victor are gonna stick together and it doesn't make sense to lose both of them

Honestly that would be an interesting approach, I'd like to see that.
I feel like yay should only play Jett and then leave the rest for Victor. He could play KJ, Chamber and even Cypher but it depends on the comp. I see FNS as better suited to play KJ/Cypher but if the meta it's like the current one, where we have Viper and KJ, I definetly see yay rocking KJ or even Cypher. I saw on his streams that he's practicin with Raze but I'd still left that to Victor since he's more experienced and has better movement. Yay's movement isn't his forte, that's why his roles always were almost util-free so he could just focus on outaiming and teleporting/dashing away
jackb2016 [#2]maybe its time to try someone who isn't FNS
ardiis has dick aim, s0m is equal to marved in aim skill, Yay was able to pick up the slack for FNS dog ass aim though. we need him back
cholikarr [#22]Do u think aspas will leave loud? even if they come like top 4 in champs? if he does will nrg be interested in him
Yea i think loud are making roster changes after champs regardless of position
cboomer [#37]FNS and boaster are nothing alike
Boaster has always been one of the best fragging igls lol
cap. FNS used to frag out a decent amount but he still has 2021 mechanics. Boaster is similar but frag sout more
