You're overthinking it bro for sure, C9 did a change 2 weeks before moving their IGL onto a different agent. Slotting 2 different players back in and were much better off. I gave you examples on why your argument isn't consistent and more seen as cope for NRG than anything. Let's wait and see how GIANTX does without Redgar and see if your argument is valid, because it is a good argument to make but we have seen many times that it is not really the case. SEN was 100x the better as soon as they slotted in johnqt and Zellsis than before with the previous igling system with Marved and Dephh.
edit: also if you think it is based on rust, look at moose and runi on C9. Or wo0t who sat out for 6+ months to begin playing franchised when he turned of age.
not only are you completely glossing over the fact that the players returning to NRG haven’t touched comp play since champs 2023 as if it isn’t even worth mentioning, but to see you insinuating that I’m coping for this team because of dumbass examples trying to justify why NRG should be given expectations is crazy.
You listed examples of changes that never directly seeked to change the dynamics of the team at all (I mean, icy for neT is apparently worth as much as a change than this?). FNS didn’t just join to be their igl, he joined to completely manage the clusterfuck that was Split 1 in and outside matches. Their head coach wanting to depart after seeking FNS isn’t just some random ass coincidence. It is in every way starting from scratch for them after several, several months of scrims with the old team.
Again, if you wanna disagree with me then live with that while this team preps for 2025 which may as well be their initial goal for making a change like this in June.
