This lineup has role issues.

Let's take the Ascent comp for example. It's a Jett map, so Demon1 would play Jett and jawgemo would play Omen. FNS is their sentinel, so he plays KJ. And then Ethan plays KAY/O. s0m has to play Sova in this case.

You get the same problem on a few other maps. If you want to run double initiator, either s0m needs to flex onto initiator, or you need to run no sentinel so FNS can do so instead.

Offseason is like 5 months long they can easily learn new roles in that time

In that case, if I was the coach I'd want Demon1 to do what other cracked aimers are doing and go from duelist to sentinel. FNS can then flex between initiator and controller

tbh pick up a tier 2 talent instead of demon1 cause jawgemo plays eveything demon1 plays plus more and maybe a heavy fragging inti instead of ethan so FNS has players to grow

I like that this lineup has four players known for impressive fragging/aim. If Jawg or Demon1 aren't on one day, s0m and Ethan would probably be able to step up. Although it has four great aimers, I think it would be wise to sign someone like Valyn instead of keeping FNS, as Valyn has had a pretty impressive amount of success in the current meta. That said, maybe the team you suggest would have enough firepower to offset FNS's fragging struggles. Regardless, I feel like the most integral part of this is signing Potter. This roster would probably be mid without her and Champs contenders with her.

Delusional. If that was the truth, than EG would be one of the top teams in Americas this year. Potter's stock is WAAAY to high if this is how some of u think of her.

EG had a comparatively good 2024 season despite the disappointing end. Derrek, NaturE, Apoth, and Supaman have all been down on their luck before this season. At least Supa and Derrek will now be considered quality pickups for next season. Potter is the reason for that improvement. People forget that in 2023, Potter turned a 10-man team of nobodies into a 5-man team that is now considered some of the best players in the world. Yes, there is obviously some luck in accumulating such impressive players on a whim, but Coaching matters more than you think. Not one of the four players who left EG has found meaningful success in 2024, excluding maybe COM on LEV, who is commonly regarded as the weakest link on that team. I absolutely would not call 100T's acquisition of Boostio successful, given that they've gone through 2 SERIOUS sumps despite their marginal successes. Potter was the glue that made that 2023 EG team work.
