Am I crazy for thinking NRG should swap out Crashies & Victor for Demon1 and Verno? Feel like that would be a solid team but might be undercooking.
sm0ke3 [#2]wow, i have never heard of this idea
Apologies I don’t own property on Vlr like you do, I haven’t read every post.
turkey [#6]Demon1 has a role issue that he needs to fix, and he probably will fix if he has the drive to prove himself again so giving roster ideas with demon1 at head duelist is not what vlr should be doing
I don't think demon1 has a role issue. he has comfortable flexed into smokes on EG and still dominated. I believe the coaching staff on NRG was to blame don't think the players did bad at all really. Bringing in Vladk0r, taniz, and the other guy was kind of a downfall tbh to many voices for a team. They could not adapt to meta or really use demon1 how he was used on EG.

Yes but that type or role style only fits with a specific player (jawgemo) and idk if they would want to take their best player s0m off full time smokes to play raze/neon to accommodate him
It would be so sick if demon1 could be good at senti like less/meteor
Demon1 senti
FNS flex/IGL
Verno recon (if oxy don’t make franchising)
s0m smokes
Find duelist (so many options tbh)
Keeping Ethan would be good but you have a sova issue then

s0m was the best player on nrg when he was playing duelist. getting new coaching staff im sure would help. if nrg want to win it think it would be smart to build around demon1, s0m, and fns core and fill those empty spots in. hard to say ethan is still a really good player also. i think without a doubt tho the entire coaching staff at nrg is getting the boot.
I honestly dont think FNS is the right call for NRG anymore. Theyre trying so hard to keep the OpTic core alive its not even funny anymore. They have one of the best players in the world sitting as a fucking substitute which is such a joke. The team needs a full revamp and needs to mix it up this offseason

FNS is the last hope for NRG, you're braindead
if he had anyone other than shitcor and trashies he would be in playoffs already, his calling is really good

12-5
DuD5K1S [#15]12-5
if they didnt have fns these dogshit players wouldnt even have a lead to begin with
shitcor and trashies should get dropped to tier 2

why do you hate them so much
Tryeue2 [#17]why do you hate them so much
because they're disgusting paycheck stealing dogs that are worse than average tier 2 players
there are a lot of tier 2 good players that deserve way more than them, but shitcor and trashies stick onto optech's flukish legacy and steal their deserved tier 1 spots
nutab1e [#18]s0m catboy edits turned him gay
s0m is the goat and deserves better
best NA controller by far
sadly he has to play with these frauds

dude as good as FNS coms are, his aim is not it. it doesnt matter if you have the fucking brain of albert Einstein, if you cant aim, its a 4v5. In my opinion FNS could be an assistant or head coach

good calling has huge impact on games
his aim is not THAT bad and he can somewhat keep up

0 knowledge on how this game works if you think it’s all mechanics

I know how the game works, but the problem is you have to have both on the same team in order for it to work. Clearly there is a lack of fire power across the whole team, and there mental as well as strats have been down. From one of the best teams last year to a team that looks like it would be in tier 2, they're running out.

s0m has been the best player on NRG in 2023 and 2024 on full time smokes

any team would look like they’re tier 2 caliber with less than a month prep and the shitty comps that the coaches made for nrg
the real reason why nrg looked bad this split was because the coaches tried to innovate comps as a gamble in order to be ahead of the other teams due to the lack of prep time and protocols, they didn’t even think of just picking ascent even though ascent has been the exact same meta for the last 3 years
mind you taking all this into consideration they still looked way better in comparison to last split where they got back to back 13-3ed by a shitty leviatan
