Got some words from my buddies in China :D :D :D
Something is allegedly not playing with PRX in recent scrims and is trialing a Japan challengers player HYUNMIN (Korean/American Peak #4 NA and #18 APAC ranked) https://www.vlr.gg/player/28400/hyunmin/?timespan=all

According to the source Something will be leaving? PRX if the trial went successfully and he will transition to AMER (Not sure what team he is playing for yet)
And someone whos playing in APAC servers said that Something has been playing initiators/ Duelist in APAC
Interestingly when something was in China for Shanghai he was practicing fade and he was duoing with someone, alledgedly something said "Ok but only fade". But he only pulled fade out once in the entirety of his carreer
All sources are not confirmed by any means just rumors i heard :D :D :D

Of course you know
He could leave if he wants to if he sees no success in PRX in 2025 or if any americas team is offering him a spot in NA

fns was talking abt how he needs a team of shooters around him so he can focus on igling like boaster so imagine if nrg next year was

fns, one of the best igls of all time
s0m, the best controller of 2023
yay, one of the best aimers and best player of 2022
demon1, one of the best aimers and best player of 2023
something, an incredible aimer

yay is also in na and has been rumored to be trialing for teams so i mean it makes sense to me..

I lowkey think NRG wont sign Yay unless FNS have full confidence in activating him to his 2022 form. If NRG have the line up you are talking about:

FNS: Secondary smokes/Initiator
s0m: Main smokes
Yay: Senti (There is no way they are going to let him play duelist)
Demon1: Secondary duelist/ Smokes
Something: Main duelist/ Secondary Initiator?

Something cant play raze nor neon, and putting him on those agents might not be a good idea

And thats the problem. No one on this imaginary NRG roster knows how to play raze or Neon. Yays Raze looks rough i doubt they put him on raze i mean his neon did pull out some numbers against T1 but it wasnt the greatest. s0m did play raze in the early days but he IS NOT going back on duelist

i feel like they would just go with a "get the players first, think about roles later" approach where they focus on getting great players and dont care about the roles, kinda similar how fnatic is making alfajer play 5 different agents in all 4 roles lately and honestly whats stopping them from having 3 players do a similar thing next year and maybe only having s0m and fns on a consistent role

But isnt that what happened to NRG at the start of 2024? They didnt consider about Demon1 not being comfortable on Raze and instead forcing Victor on cypher and brimstone. They never even consider looking back to why EG was so successful ( Really good duelist players rotating system where Demon1 focus on astra and jett and Jawg on Raze and astra/ Omen)

no, i feel like this year nrg was more impacted by ethan not being comfortable as igl, having little practice in the off season due to eg delaying buyouts, lack of chemistry and lack of work ethic meanwhile the reasons that eg were successful was having incredible chem, the 10 man roster being an absolute cheatcode for more efficient practice and the fact that they werent scared to experiment on roles like putting demon1 on smokes which is literally what im suggesting this hypothetical nrg roster could do just to a more extreme level
