next year is his make-or-break year, needs to quickly achieve his 2023 form or probably the end for his t1 career.
moatz [#2]or probably the end for his t1 career
not gonna happen unless he pulls a yay and signs in tier 2 or apac/cn
he can be picked up as either a duelist or controller
Think about it. Teams don't really look into "changing player roles" and etc, they look at what you've done and massively weight the recency. 2 Bad years aren't gonna make it easy to get picked up. Maybe a super low side t1 or t2 would actually want him other than that, really is over..

you will be surprised when 75% of the controller/senti players were ex duelist mains forced to transition….
reremus [#5]I just hope NRG doesn't pull a C9 and waste Demon1 like Yay. If I see Demon1 on fucking Omen next year, I will ram my head into the monitor.
Under potter this won't happen, atleast she had the respect to put demon1 on brim and astra

This is a really bad take... just because the majority of players were and have been forced to transition doesn't mean it's gonna be okay for demon1. The only way he bounces back up is by playing duelist full-time,

Yeah maybe sentinel as its probably the best role apart from him learning duelist that fits him, he's got the aim to multifrag and get 2 before he dies(good for sentinels to hold sites). He just needs to learn to have the understanding of being a sentinel.
laifu [#9]he's grinding ranked more so thats a good sign, he was put in a situation that wasn't favorable at all so good chance he will bounce back next year
100% btw NRG are a horrible organization, they ruined demon1's whole year for nothing.

in tier 3 he played sentinel before EG, it's just a matter of the coaching staff knowing what role to put him in
laifu [#6]Under potter this won't happen, atleast she had the respect to put demon1 on brim and astra
Brim and astra are agents that fits him better, raze and omen are completely different, I just hope he gets back to potter in some shape or form
kalayav_n [#11]100% btw NRG are a horrible organization, they ruined demon1's whole year for nothing.
it was a shit show in general
demon1 wasn’t playing the game either bc he was focusing on his fiance, i rmbr he was like hardstuck ascendant
laifu [#12]in tier 3 he played sentinel before EG, it's just a matter of the coaching staff knowing what role to put him in
100% if NRG won't keep him on duelist, just switch demon1 to sentinel. Pickup verno, switch ethan to controller, pujan to flex.
On maps with no sentinels like,
bind:
fns viper
ethan ini
demon1 brim
heavensentsaint [#15]it was a shit show in general

not even that, they shouldve benched him at the start of the season. they just randomly called him at like 4pm and told him he was benched, its like coming home to your family and your wife is sick. then the next day at a random ass time your just called to know ur fired like wht?
Nachtel [#14]he needs to stop grinding iso in ranked if he wants to be considered over n4rrate in most pickup convos
he just needs to up his agent pool, hes 100x better than narrate but narrate has the agent pool over him. and in this game you can be as cracked as you want but if you cant play in a coordinated team your not getting picked up

Yeah wait what, just have FNS controller and Ethan flex in this scenario

ethan played and can play omen, which on every single map except icebox and bind
kalayav_n [#21]ethan played and can play omen, which on every single map except icebox and bind
Just because he can doesn't mean he should though, Ethan's prob NA's best initiator.
Messi can play basketball pretty good, but would you send him to the olympics to play it instead of football?
kalayav_n [#8]This is a really bad take... just because the majority of players were and have been forced to transition doesn't mean it's gonna be okay for demon1. The only way he bounces back up is by playing duelist full-time,
other players had to start from scratch. demon1 already has a lot of experience with brim and astra on the international stage
all he has to do is learn omen or clove and he's chilling (if he wants to be a controller)

Messi is 5'7 and i dont even wanna reply to that, secondly ethan is not NA's best initator, NA's best initator is going to champs which is c0m. Verno is an initator which is deemed highly upon and would fit more than them having to pickup a new duelist or flex which is very hard. I guess you could go narrate but that would just be AWFUL

so your telling me NA's best initator hasn't attended an event this year? kkkkkkkkkk
heavensentsaint [#27]ethan is the best flash initiator itw
theres 2 types of initators flash and recon, sure hes the best flash but hes not the best initator
kalayav_n [#29]so your telling me NA's best initator hasn't attended an event this year? kkkkkkkkkk
Earlier you said NRG ruined Demon1's year for nothing, can the same be true for ethan?

Bro I like c0m, but even you are not this stupid wtf. Also why would picking up a duelist be "very hard", there's good T2 duelists that deserve a shot and NRG has the bag. And why is n4rrate, "just awful", the roles would work, he's proven himself to be good in T1, and it would make a lot more sense than making Americas best flash initiator go off of his role
Number1Joshie [#31]Earlier you said NRG ruined Demon1's year for nothing, can the same be true for ethan?
wasn't talking about how NRG ruined demon1's status as the goat, im talking about how dirty they did him. this has nothing to do with his performance, NRG can't control how demon1 shoots back. Same cannot be said for ethans performance no

yeah theres plenty of good duelists like mada who doesn't choke and can step toe to toe with T1 duelists like jawg, aspas, zekken, keznit and etc
kalayav_n [#35]yeah theres plenty of good duelists like mada who doesn't choke and can step toe to toe with T1 duelists like jawg, aspas, zekken, keznit and etc
I mean yeah? It sounds like you're being sarcastic but obviously there are. N4rrate was on a team that got relegated last year and he's done great. Oxy was an insane choker. Fucking ICY is the duelist for one of Americas best teams. So yeah, I'd take any of the duelists on the top 4 na T2 teams right now over your dumbass proposal.

May need to learn Viper for icebox and breeze when they are inevitably back but I agree
