since i’m pretty sure it’s 100% happening, how do you think they do?
there are def some role issues but crashies and victor are very flexible so it could work. and I think ethan could make a great igl.
(i really want this team to work. I want an NA team other than sen to support )

Reminds to be seen. Questions I have:
How is the IGLing? - can make a big difference when facing top teams. And overall looking at old NRG it felt like the IGLing was big part of their success and overall style.
Roles? - no proven sentinel player, so Victor likely switching. And what if they need Raze and sentinel? Ethan? Demon1?
Demon1 and Ethan - hot take, but I think there's a chance they won't perform as well outside of EG. Demon1 was nobody before this year and even though its possible he will continue doing well I'm still not fully confident he will do as well. And same about Ethan, because even though he has been decent since 100T he never was really a standout player before EG(obviously his teams didn't do so well). Like see what happened to old Sentinels and Acend for example.
Ethan might perform worse but I simply have to disagree with the idea that Demon1 is going to suddenly start underperforming. Demon1 is the pinnacle of confidence to the point it borders on cockiness, I honestly think he believes in himself so much that it wouldn't really matter which team he joined. Dude eats sleeps drinks and breathes Valorant he is more than likely going to curbstomp anyone and anything he comes across.
though im incredibly excited to see what Demon1 does if he starts failing that would be very interesting to watch
I'm not saying he will start falling off, but point is that we've seen players doing really well and then just being ok next season. And I think that guy like Demon1 has had such short time in tier 1 that I wouldn't be 100% sure he can keep looking as good as this season, especially on a new team. I think he will do well, but this is also point you could make about any player and especially ones switching teams.
yeah, you're not wrong, it's tough to say how good he will do before he actually joins a new team, but his performance in Tokyo was (lets be honest) just decent. And directly after that in Champions he showed up in a big way, I feel like hes had enough time to adjust to the highest level of competition and I personally cant see his performance going down in any meaningful way.
id love to be proven wrong though
