Please some VLR analyst help me
they were so mid to start the season
Everyone Knows their role. Switching duelists. Believe it or not but switching duelist on maps can be a very impactful thing. For ex in fracture Demon1 plays controller whole jawgemo playing raze. Demon1 plays jett on haven and Jawgemo controller. Instead of having one duelist with subpar performance on other maps you can get other players to play the duelist role
eg was always known for being a nerd team with lineups and stuff but couldn't win a single fight. Demon1 came in and started frying so everyone go confidence, they also polished their utility usage to go insane. It's always been there but I really think Demon1 adding much needed firepower was the cataylst
They have one of the EXTREMELY few good sentinels and EXTREMELY few good fragging IGL's, both NA has historically had 0 of global callibier. That, plus Ethan and C0m being the two best initiatiors in terms of utility, plus jaw and Demon1 being huge firepower, plus the whole team being 100% into the gameplan of potter. That is why.
