I know people do this a lot, but there is a much more realistic answer. Of course, + Demon1 -Victor, but the other position being Verno isn't my first choice anymore. Oxygen are still top 3 in likelyhood for the new franchise position, so I have another option that is equal or better on paper than verno.
There is a player who has lots of T1 and T2 experience, is able to carry the high energy vibes that NRG still lacks, has tons of experience as both a 2nd Initiator and 2nd Controller role, and is mechanically good enough to carry maps. He's a definite mechanical and versitile upgrade to crashies and he adds a ton of energy, while still contributing as a midrounder.
+Rossy, -Crashies.
T1 decided to play as a Korean roster, so Rossy is on the market for NA teams. He has experience on all Initiators and is insane for a secondary controller. For NRG, it lets them play double Initiator Jett comps for Demon1 (Ascent), it lets them play double wall comps (Like Icebox), it lets them play double controller comps (like the Sen Split comp) with s0m on Raze. He gives them the versatility they need for NRG to work properly with their comps, while adding firepower and a new layer of vibes. Even if we get to double duelist comps again, Rossy has tons of astra reps so he could solo controller for them. I think he might have even called for a time on TSM, so he wouldn't even be a downgrade in midrounding. In the likely situation that Oxygen win ascension, Rossy should be on NRG.
Tl;Dr - This verno kid is ass, my King Rossy clears and would carry that bum streamer trio of FNS, Demon1 and s0m. Rossy actual made a lan this year, unlike NRG.
