Demon1 has experience playing Brim from last year's EG team and he's looked comfortable on Astra. I’m not super sold on the Omen, but we know for a fact duelist players can transition to off roles and succeed (Tenz, Forsaken etc). Why is this team so set on getting him on Raze when he just looks so uncomfortable? Even when he’s done well on Raze, it hasn’t been because of Raze util or movement, it’s because he’s Demon1 at the end of the day. Victor has been a very good Raze player since 2022 with Optic. Is Demon1 wanting to be on Raze or is this a team decision? I honestly think the coaching staff is pushing to get him on Raze when Victor should be on it instead. This isn’t even about Demon1 being bad on Raze, I think the NRG coaching staff is trying to fit a square peg in a triangle hole (or however that saying goes)
Why is Demon1 on Raze?
give him less nats and suygetsu vods, 3 days and tell him to stfu and get on cypher/kj
we are NOT making marved flex to have demon1 smokes on EVERY raze map
NRG have no dedicated sentinel, but their sentinel is very good at every duelist (entry)
make their fugazi duelist play sentinel and let their real duelist play duelist
I think a lot has to do with their pride. They were respectively the best player of the year (2022 YAY, 2023 Demon1) and it’s really hard to let that go. I also think they would both make incredible sentinels. Alfajer made the change and won TWO majors while shitting on everybody on Cypher and Killjoy. I think it may be time to look at other options. And for Demon1 specifically, it’s not like he hasn’t played other roles that aren’t duelist. He’s already played KJ, Chamber (a lot) and smokes
