I feel like NRG has insane firepower. They have the optic core of crashies, victor, and fns, and s0m is doing insanely well. Going into lock//in, i thought that keeping s0m was a troll move, but i have greatly been proven wrong. Ardiis is where im conflicted. Every time i tune into an nrg match, ardiis isn't doing well. i feel like his aim has been off compared to when he was on fpx, and i just dont know why he isnt pulling the same numbers as he did on fpx. Don't get me wrong, i love ardiis and i respect him a ton, but i just feel like if ardiis's true talent/potential was unlocked, NRG would be a lot stronger. Does anyone know why ardiis isnt performing?

What are you saying? NRG has some of the best mechanics in the Americas 3 NRG players are in the top 10 of Americas ratings ( Victor, Crashies, S0m) and Ardiis has good mechanics as well. The only mechanically weak one is FNS. The reason you think they have weak mechanics is probably because they don’t stream
I wish this was true my friend.. i really do as a big NRG fan, but that aside.
I think NRG if we're talking strictly strats are the top 2 if not 1 right next to LOUD, they don't have INSANE firepower but they are decent, If ardiis can get up to form and victor and crashies aswell they will be really good cause S0m has been killing aswell as Victor but we just don't know if they will stay this consistent. The one thing I wish NRG could do is that since obv they scrim everyday to improve strats and teamplay/coordination/fundamentals. I feel like they could practice getting their individual/mechanical skill up aswell. If we are talking about raw aim, I don't think any of their players have just horrible "Raw" aim but i think it's their movement combined with their aim, Let me explain.
In alot of gun fights I see FNS and crashies usually just crouch spray immediately which ISN'T A BAD THING. but whenever i watch really skilled indidivual players like Less or dgzin for example, they don't spray as much. they usually burst and then strafe to the side and burst again and do that a whole alot. Aiming in VALORANT isn't hard i dont think, I think u just have to combine that with good movement. Insta crouch spraying most of the time means you are committing to the fight so imagine for example, Crashies as soon as he says Less for example insta crouches and sprays but Less takes a burst then strafes and does it again. He will prob get that kill on Crashies because crashies was crouched and he was moving causing Crashies to be inaccurate. And I see this alot with crashies FNS and sometimes vic but not as much. Their "raw" aim isn't actually bad, I just think it's the movement and crouching alot but that's just my opinion LOL i could just be sounding dumb asf rn.
All in all just think that, if NRG we're to improve their firepower like actually focus on it just a bit, they would be insane cause their strats + FNS midrouding is alr insane, I think thats the only thing they are lacking
Well you can’t really compare Crashies to Less and Dgzin in that aspect because Crashies is a phantom player and the other two are vandal players. When crashies uses vandal he usually doesnt insta crouch. Its just that the phantom is more built for crouch spraying while the vandal is built for bursts and strafing
Phantom players crouch spray and Vandal players burst
Yep ur right about that, but that really was not my point. What i mean to say is you could replace the names with player a and player b , and that I think the point would still stand cause I see alot of even vandal players in Americas League just straight up spray and not use their movement to their advantage. also i can remember a handfull of times crashies sprays with the vandal, (rn thinking about that 1v2 clutch against 100T) but also other times aswell, but i do agree that yeh generally crashies doesn't do it with the vandal and that he is a phantom player.
why don't they have good firepower? they have ardiis, which whenever someone mentions him, i immediately think about his 1v3 clutch against drx on ascent. FNS may not have the best aim, but whenever he's in a 1vX situation, i know that theres always the possibility of him winning the clutch. victor is pretty consistent imo. he doesn't have many flashy/clutch plays, but hes quite a good player overall. Crashies is just like FNS in the sense that theres always that possibility that he clutches out the round. Before franchising, i would never had thought that s0m was good, but now when i think of s0m, i think about his clutches on icebox against KOI, especially the 12th round. I think that saying that they have INSANE firepower, is a bit much, but considering that the old roster was essentially optic, they're aren't below that team in terms of firepower by THAT much.
