Demon1 > vic on duelist

#1

i understand vic and crashies are basically a package duo but im sure that fns would know how to utilize demon1 properly. I suspect he asked to be benched due to the personal things he is dealing with right now, as theres no way NRG thinks they can make vic as good as a duelist as peak demon1

fns cant magically make demon1 better
demon1's raze is not good and jett is only for selective maps
good duelist should def know how to play raze and jett at least (high lvl)

its not magic, its being a good igl and knowing how to utilize a player's skillset. id say its better to have demon1 on jett maps and s0m on raze maps with demon1 on brim

no way you think s0m is a better raze than victor

he's not, but in the scenario im talking about (vic being dropped for demon1), hes the next best option. i think that the positives of having demon1 on jett maps instead of victor will outweigh the negatives of having s0m on raze instead of vic. plus s0m on raze allows demon1 to flex to controller on raze maps

demon1 just doesn't fit with this roster, it can't be forced

why not? cryo can play brim while asuna is on raze and cryo plays jett, basically the same thing

very little time for prep, having a huge agent pool on diff players is def bad and might not work

idk.

s0m on omen maps, and raze on others. demon1 has experience as astra, and brim. Just train him on a cypher or literally any initiator and they're good on maps where vic played sentinel instead of raze (Sunset)

Demon1 was by far not the reason nrg didn't succeed this past split. Having no real dedicated igl with experience was the issue.

I respect Ethan trying to igl, but taking Ethan as igl instead of a dedicated primary igl with experience, and expecting good results after only 9 official matches. Just kinda dumb imo.

d1 isn't a good entry duelist, he's a great aimer and fragger and can clutch. NRG was trying to use him as their main entry duelist and he isn't built for that.

exactly, so the solution isnt to drop him, its to utilize him better and not use him as a hard entry

Demon1s playstyle isn't good as a primary duelist. He needs another aggressive player and that is Victor.

That's why EG was good, cause they had maps where jawgemo and demon1 were both duelist and jawgemo would be that guy to just find something.

If you watched NRGs games, you would see they have less FBs than nearly anyone.

So like it or not, victor and s0m is who they need NOT demon1 and that is something even FNS had to decide on I bet.
