NRG going forward

#1

ozaee

Very promising team however they have 3 major flaws: IGL situation, player attitude and Jett

IGL Situation: idk how good it is but could be a problem especially in close games, time and experience makes a good igl and I could definitly see ethan becoming really good igl at the end of the year
Player Attitude: Everyone besides Ethan seem really cocky which isn't bad EG was the same and they won it all but I do think NRG need some humbling for them to truely become a great team
Jett: NRG look limited by Jett and Demon1, as we know he is pretty much a one trick Jett but can play Brim and Chamber. With Jett nerf and Raze becoming more in the meta, they need to find a comfortable role for Demon1 to be on besides jett, this is where Clove could possibly come in. We don't know how good they'll be but from the looks, they look perfect for these previous Jett mains looks for a new role to play. They should also perma ban some of these Raze maps, primary Bind or Lotus

again i could be braindead wit some of these suggestions but lmk, even with current ways NRG are set out they can win but we also haven't seen much from them, if anything during Americas league they could suprise everyone and be unstoppable

They need demon1 to play raze or cypher if they want this to work

demon1 shouldn't be close to raze when food is on the team

the solution is simple, swap demon1 and victors roles unless its ascent or icebox pretty much

People called me crazy for pointing out glaring role issues, but here we are with one of the worlds best raze players being stuck on sentinel to accommodate demon1, like what the flying fuck is jett on sunset?

People really act like SEN got lucky vs NRG, NRG was there at 14-16 I don't know how, sentinels had 20 more kills that map lol

Exactly jett on sunset is pure trash , demon1 should play cypher while Victor plays raze

demon1 cypher sounds war crime tier
he should play gekko, something can do it and something is just demon1 with a worse haircut

Sentinels already humbled NRG. But NRG is not winning any masters thats fs since FNS is not there to carry Chet's ass. And Ethan is nowhere near FNS(In terms of IGLing)

they choked majorly, up 9-5 , it’s their fault tbh and it costed them, SEN was better in the end with a dominant third map.

they were up 9-5 after insane luck? if anything SEN choked to let it go to 9-5 and after that it was just NRG staying in it, which props to them but the reality is SEN isn't going to lose those rounds that made it 9-5 to NRG every game, eventually NRG is gonna have to build leads with rifle rounds and not ninja defuses

sunset being a fluke is right, SEN should’ve had pistol round + bonuses to close it out w/o OT.

not saying they deserved to 2-0 sen, i was just saying they put up a decent fight against the current best team itw and could have qualified to madrid if there was a lower bracket.

NRG had 0 role issues tho?

Victor is a FLEX duelist why would they need to put Demon1 on raze or some shit are you guys forgetting they did the same for yay when he was on permachamber? Victors raze is realy good too

i said dont put demon1 on raze because victor is good on her. instead demon1 needs to find more agents he’s comfortable on besides jett

overreaction
player attitude and igl issues are things u can only know if ur in the team voice comms / team enviornment and ur not
and for the role issues , we saw them play sunset ascent breeze and split and demon1 filled on split
the kickoff format was ASS so dont know why everyone takes the results of the team who didnt qualify so serious

Victor isnt a world class Raze, that's the only downfall. Keep Demon1 on Brimstone or Astra, not Omen. Chet be dumb as fuck sometimes.

World class Raze = Jingg, Jawgemo, Zekken. Victor isn't up there yet. We'll see if they make it to Shanghai.
