NRG Flaws | VLR.gg

Here are some NRG Flaws that may be NRGs demise or proven wrong

No actual Oper (Demon1 is a great rifler, but other duelists are better opers; Aspas, Mwzera, Cryo, Oxy...)
I don't know
Untested IGL
I was right
Dubious Sinergy
Told Y'all
Meta Role Conflict (While Demon1 can pick up a safe controller role, the meta seems to be tending towards Raze, Yoru and Phoenix, which while NRG have a good Yoru in Ethan, and a good Phoenix/Raze in Victor, neither of these players roles are Controller, its Initiator and sentinel, which are roles different to what Demon1 can offer, and mean they will be betting on his skill to adapt)
Hasn't been a problem, so I take this L
Marved has been out of Play for a very long time now, there is a strong chance of him not playing up to whats needed
I was so wrong, this mf the only good thing about this team
Different System ( Demon1 was trained within Potter/Ziks/Screwface's system, there is a valid doubt he will be able to adapt to the different system, also the different scrim plan since they dont have a designated reserve roster for scrimming)
I cooked here, these mfs can't play together properly, Ethan ain't fns, even if he's good at midrounding, he's gotta be good at translating what the coach says

Now, these can all be proven wrong this friday, and they can also be proven right. only time will tell.
feel free to comment other doubts you have on this roster

EDIT 27/04/24
Crazy how I got some things right, some things wrong, but was still correct that this team wasn't gonna work.
And y'all called me crazy

how does victor clear zekken he has played well on every role in the game. Unlike demon1 he can play all the agents role to a high level and literally has more agents played than victor. Not only that but zekken only has 1 agent with a negative avg rating. Zachary Patrone is the definition of a flex despite switching to entry/duelist last year.

Demon1 is the best opper in the world man you don’t know what you are talking about

Marved wasn’t given a chance on SEN. He will be 🧊 cold this year

All of the others are valid doubts you can have about any team that will only be proven wrong once they play

I choose to believe that they will not have those problems because chet is a great coach and his teams have always has insane cohesion, strategy, and synergy

They are also insanely flexible I seriously can’t remember a single time any of them DIDN’T look good on an agnt

lmao. I thought I will defend you in this thread. then I see you calling demon1 worlds best awper. lmao dude.

Although I think another flaw is too many cooks in the kitchen. Ethan will be IGLing, Crashies and Vic are super vocal, and apparently Marved has brought a lot of his own ideas from his time IGLing on Sen. Making sure there isn't too much comming in the round will be a struggle for them I think.

Yeah because FNS is literally the best midrounder valorant has ever seen. Ethan will be decent I'm sure, but he won't be as good from an IGL standpoint. Marved was also WAY less vocal on optic compared to now.

the "no OPer" arguement is one of the most brain dead takes about NRG istg. Demon1 literally showed us first-hand that OPing is overrated and honestly a big downgrade if you're already winning rifle fights consistently, but ppl still see it as a con somehow with him when he's consistently top fragging w/o OP. The fact that u can even say that he isn't a good OPer when he shits on everyone whenever he's FORCED to pick up the weapon is just pure delusion.

only flaws you can reasonably guess about this team is how Ethan will IGL and Marved's current form.

Idk how mfs rate demon1 so low on his opping. This mf has hit a crazy amount of insane shots while oppong also he has 3k rounds on chamber bruh. Just bc he didnt op as much as aspas his rookie year doesnt mean he isnt an opper or cant op as well as the top oppers itw. Smh fake demon1 fans never saw him on sqn

The Op is for safekeeping space, it creates leeway for the defense to push and stack other areas, as good as someone may be on a rifle, the operator is a sure hit kill, which is why its valuable for more than just the kill itself but for its stopping power altogether.

Demon is not top 5 OPers
Which brings the weakness to energy due to their lack of Oper

No, I don't agree with your points. I can't tell if you are baiting or not, but I'll try to be nice.

Demon1 is a fantastic awper, it's just boostio often awped on EG and demon1's rifling was so good that he didn't do it much.

Igl issue is fair.

Dubious synergy? Lol, this team has some of the best synergy in Americas what you on about? NV core + EG duo who are all good friends and have played
together.

Chet said they are cooking up some unique comps and all of these players have proven time and time again that they are flexible and can adapt. I wouldn't worry about where the meta goes.

Marved is ice cold, he joined sen after a long time and played great. His performance only started dipping when he was put on IGl duty.

Different System ( Demon1 was trained within Potter/Ziks/Screwface's system, there is a valid doubt he will be able to adapt to the different system, also the different scrim plan since they dont have a designated reserve roster for scrimming)

This is just speculation and cope. Demon1 was insane even before he joined EG, just wasn't well known. He's currently the best player itw I think he will be fine.

“https://youtu.be/-Qjtl3YnsAo?si=lZI6qKWejVLKiqtB

I hope you realize there is a sensitivity multiplier when using sniper in Valorant

Rifle sens and op sens are different

Demon1’s op sens multiplier is on so his op sens is actually much faster than his rifle sens

And I can tell you don’t understand the game when flicks are how you measure op skill

Flicks are the least important part of aiming in this game because you are rarely required to flick

Whats more important is speed and consistency

this is true the ratio raw 1:1 rifle sens to op sens would be 0.747 to 1, if demon1 sens is equivalent to 800 dpi 0.2 then his op sens would be somewhere around 0.26-28, still pretty low imo as i play on 0.7 but yea its def high than 0.2. People dont realize flicks are just really lucky shots theres no one in the world that can consistently flick people. Sens also has nothing to do with how fast the flick is, like just move ur hand faster lol

He was a Chamber main before joining EG. He pretty much played nothing but Chamber on every map for a year (for 3090 rounds). And while playing Chamber, he consistently played Op. Just pick any of his games from the Chamber meta and you'll see him consistently get kills with the Operator.

https://www.vlr.gg/142807/sqn-2-0-vs-the-pig-pen-knights-weekly-12-gf/?game=all&tab=performance

The only reason he wasn't EG's main Oper is because Boostio (who has also played tons of Jett and Chamber) wanted to.

I know you haven't developed object permanence yet though, so all good.

"No actual Oper" you don't have to be an op crutch or a yay/aspas to be a good enough AWPer to own in T1, especially when your rifle is world-class and can make up for that easily.
"Dubious Sinergy" you can say this about every roster
"Meta Role Conflict" Demon1 started the season playing KJ, he can get better at the sentinel role if it's needed
"Marved has been out of Play for a very long time" he played almost an entire season with SEN? His performance only started to drop AFTER he was IGLing, he was good before then.
"Different System" you can say this about every roster move
