FNS can't flex. If you check his last couple of games, he's basically only played Viper, KJ, Cypher, and Breach.

Because he don't need to Flex maybe?

Then why say "FNS can play any role", and why is FNS flexing on this proposed team?

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but I think one of FNS and Nats is going to have to play an agent they aren't used too.

edit: also, we already saw that demon1 isn't great at being solo duelist/space maker

How is this a question bro. Put fns to play other agents. Let fns call and let nats kill. Is not that difficult

Having to call AND play an agent FNS isn't used too is going to make him perform even worse than he normally does(in terms of kills and whatnot)

He doesn't kill anyways, we only need him thinking what the team should do, if he made 2 kills per Match is enough. Demon1, nats, Ethan and som, You don't need more firepower

FNS has played breach, fade, viper, cypher, kj. nAts plays perma senti meaning viper while FNS plays the other senti.
In no senti maps for example, BIND; viper on nAts, FNS on ini, ethan on ini. Every other map has either 1 fake senti and 1 real one(viper is known as a fake senti) or if its only 1 senti map then there is usually double initator to make up which would have FNS playing ini.

Onto the Demon1 sitaution, you can always get a differen't duelist. Demon1 has to either learn duelists or victor stays and he goes. Its no ones fault except Demon1, ADAPT OR PERISH.

Shit, I forgot about the fade.

But FNS will still have to play either breach or fade. On your proposed Bind comp, are you saying(random example):

demon1/s0m: Raze
demon1/s0m: Brim
nats : Viper
Ethan: Skye/Gekko

I don't think either breach or fade matches this kind of comp. Maybe fade, but it still feels off. I think they could make it work, but it'd be weird.

Breach/Fade still isn't exactly a deep agent pool, and niether of them are that good on some maps.

Fair enough on demon1.

25% pick rate on bind at masters shanghai

https://www.vlr.gg/event/agents/1999/champions-tour-2024-masters-shanghai

only five maps played on bind in stage two, 75% in EMEA in two games, 50% in China in three games

no bind games played in APAC and Americas

The team that objectively played the best on bind at shanghai were 100T and that is the comp they ran, only losing to TH who ran the exact same comp they did lol

FNS can play sentinel or an initiator like fade or breach when nats plays viper, nats can play sentinel and FNS can play viper, its not that difficult to understand what FLEX MEANS. Also s0m can also play duelist and Ethan or demon1 can play a smokes character if they need. (before you say it because I know you are just because someone is a perma role DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN'T HAVE A ONE OFF OCCASION, demon1 was the perma duelist on EG and still played smokes)

Viper isn't viable on every map. What are you playing on Ascent for example? Breach over kayo?

We have yet to see s0m play duelist in an offical Tier 1 match. Can't just assume he'll play well.

FNS can play either sova or fade for ascent while Ethan plays kayo, then Nats is put onto cypher or kj for ascent. Even though s0m hasn't played duelist in an official tier 1 match its not difficult to learn since he already has a lot of experience before and he already has the mechanics down.

FNS would probably like playing flex, it’s a good role for igls nowadays
