Demon1 has experience playing Brim from last year's EG team and he's looked comfortable on Astra. I’m not super sold on the Omen, but we know for a fact duelist players can transition to off roles and succeed (Tenz, Forsaken etc). Why is this team so set on getting him on Raze when he just looks so uncomfortable? Even when he’s done well on Raze, it hasn’t been because of Raze util or movement, it’s because he’s Demon1 at the end of the day. Victor has been a very good Raze player since 2022 with Optic. Is Demon1 wanting to be on Raze or is this a team decision? I honestly think the coaching staff is pushing to get him on Raze when Victor should be on it instead. This isn’t even about Demon1 being bad on Raze, I think the NRG coaching staff is trying to fit a square peg in a triangle hole (or however that saying goes)
Why is Demon1 on Raze?
give him less nats and suygetsu vods, 3 days and tell him to stfu and get on cypher/kj
we are NOT making marved flex to have demon1 smokes on EVERY raze map
NRG have no dedicated sentinel, but their sentinel is very good at every duelist (entry)
make their fugazi duelist play sentinel and let their real duelist play duelist

who is this we lil bro
Coures [#3]marved viper demon1 brim/astra
double initiator raze comps won't work (meta on a lot of maps) unless demon1 plays sentinel
if you want demon1 to play smokes just drop marved lol

okay here's how it goes
Just DON'T play the meta comps, have everyone go back to a role they're comfortable with
NRG did this last year and it salvaged their regular season.

NRG did play meta comps last year though, they just swapped around who plays what
cboomer [#11]idk why yay and demon1 don't force the sentinel change themselves they'd cook so hard lol
I think a lot has to do with their pride. They were respectively the best player of the year (2022 YAY, 2023 Demon1) and it’s really hard to let that go. I also think they would both make incredible sentinels. Alfajer made the change and won TWO majors while shitting on everybody on Cypher and Killjoy. I think it may be time to look at other options. And for Demon1 specifically, it’s not like he hasn’t played other roles that aren’t duelist. He’s already played KJ, Chamber (a lot) and smokes

ngl he would go crazy on sentinel role
anyth1ng [#14]ngl he would go crazy on sentinel role
This seems to be the consensus take lol. But if he doesn’t like the senti role and is vocal about it, there is no way they put him on it, which is my sneaking suspicion as to why he isn’t on it in the first place
Saiki_taha [#12]Demon1 had 2 games of Raze before this match against 91 games for Victor. Let that sink in
Tell that to dumbass Chet
