being serious here and it has nothing to do with his choke vs SEN (probably), its just weird seeing him leaving VCT 2023 as the best player itw and then he just stops playing the game for a very long period of time out of his own volition. Although he was never a hard ranked grinder, he would still actively play the game and whatnot (even peaked #3 the same month he joined EG's starting roster), but now he hasn't even bothered to leave Ascendant in this act and the last one. Ever since Episode 7 Act 3 dropped 5 months ago, he's only mustered up 23 hours of ranked.
I know that he still has his scrims obviously but it's not like getting some extra practice playing the game you're being paid to play hurts right? He was already doing that but it looks like something clicked during the offseason and he just lost whatever motivation he had to play the game in his own free time. I literally cannot think of any Tier 1/2 pro out there that's doing what Demon1 is doing right now or ever really, not even in different esports.
maybe he has some secret alt to play in silence or maybe he thinks hes good enough to just not touch the game outside of scheduled practice, idk. if this guy ends off 2024 looking like a completely different player than what he was in 2023 then I'm gonna be thinking about this if this continues on ngl
