It's funny because last year Less told on one of his streams that he doesn't fear Demon1 (or something like that) because he is a jett lurker who doesn't do entry.

I found it, for those who speak portuguese: 0:20 to 0:26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1K6GrPSlWU (11 months ago)

He said "I don't have any trouble facing his Jett since his Jett is more lurker than entry"

the calls for him have been dogshit, he's never been a lurker on EG except for when he's on Chamber and now he's been sent to slow lurk on Raze or some shit lol. 2023 mustve been deleted from ur memory card maybe.

One of the most common issues on a team is role issues. With Demon1 coming into the team late, he is likely running into role issues with Victor and what is basically the old Optic lineup plus Ethan. My assessment of Ethan through the videos he did with ddk, he's very much a whatever it takes to win type person, so he is likely just going along with the flow.

Now if I were to speculate, Marved's connection is stronger to Victor due to their time together on Optic. Given that Marved played under FNS, he's probably trying to emulate a similar playstyle that FNS did.

This probably creates a role crisis for Demon1 where they tried initially putting him on the duelist role. We then found out that he had a gap in his Raze that wasn't on par with his other agents. Victor was a Raze main throughout his career so that was a simple swap.

But it leaves a very straightforward question, what do we do with Demon1 when a Raze is meta? Well if Jett is there, easy, Demon1 plays Jett. But outside of that, where its a single duelist, they are struggling to find the answer for what to do with him and send him in last in retakes.

And as far as the lurking goes, if he's not the one diving as duelist, what role is he facilitating by being with the team? I think normally that would be Marved (known for his lurking sentinel role), but asking Demon1 to play Viper may yield similar results to Raze.

So yeah... I think it's a messy situation because they got the world's best Jett player and overall aimer but he can't play Raze.

And if you want to ask "why can Victor play Raze well and Demon1 cannot"... I suggest taking a look at this page: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/NRG%20Victor%23777/weapons?season=all

Victor has literally a 50/50 split between eliminations with the Phantom and Vandal. I have yet to see another player with that sort of distribution between guns. People either pick one or the other. Victor is absolutely special for this rare quality. And the Phantom, due to the spread and recoil reset, is by far a better gun to pick on Raze when coming off movement abilities.

Anyways... Demon1 should just be treated as a VIP and ensured safe passage to the site. He should not push. He should do everything in his power to float between teammates who are holding angles.
