Imo G2 would be in the same position if they had not dropped neT. If neT and JonahP had split playing viper while Trent focused on purely initiators, Leaf on duelist would allow for better synergy and more dynamic rounds. Icy is a decent duelist while Leaf during kickoff and throughout the second half of last year was on fire on the role. Icy needs to make a major second year jump, or they should pick someone else up who can cover sentinel+viper as well as Leaf can, and move him back to duelist. If they can accomplish one of these, they’ll be threats. (neT also plays cypher pretty well while Leaf lacks a cypher)

I agree that Icy is incredibly flexible, which is why I don’t think we should make any roster changes since he’ll probably make improvements over the off season. For this season though with how leaf was performing during kick off, I believe if the viper role had shifted off of trent they would likely be in the same position. (Assuming Leaf kept up his crazy pace)
Leaf wasn’t even playing that crazy on duellist with that team he was always ahead of the team whether it was util or just in general faster with Icy they literally felt like robots never felt like he was too far ahead when executing he was always being set up with util they felt more in sync leaf senti just works better on g2 because g2 system doesn’t require someone to just have to make hero plays on duelist all the time like leaf had to do on c9
them before they made roster changes : https://www.vlr.gg/307573/g2-esports-vs-mibr-champions-tour-2024-americas-kickoff-play-ins
