NRG IGL replacement

Honestly could have just asked bonkar to play, bonkar was Mr bottom frag but at least he was a solid IGL. Fns got neither right now

The only issue I have is his igling is a bit suspect and he role conflicts with Ethan and verno

Shahzam please. Keep your drama aside. Man can frag on any agent while igling. Please NA needs this.

Link won't open, so
"Shahzam so ass it was making everyone ass too, god knows what wouldve happened to oxy if he stayed too long"
Blaming the igl that was flexing all roles for his teams comfort instead of calling out the coach.

He did play in 23. Wdym 2 years? Only an year gap. Are you his Ophthalmologist?

Also washed by what? He was consistently fragging on G2.

He played 1 match as a last minute stand-in and he was last playing at t2

if he was atleast good in t2 then maybe? Bro didnt even qualify for ascension with that stacked ass roster

M80 didn't, so you call everyone on the roster washed? I'm not following your logic. Mada, reduxx, verno none of them qualified ascension. Are they all ass? What's this logic. He was pretty good in t2 individually.

Also g2 had a shit team. They had dope as duelist penny playing smokes, senti, etc because of oxy and immi wqs not helping the comls either. Nothing shahzam could do. It was role issues. He did help by flexing every role he could and fragged out every single match.

Also wippie dapr penny is stacked?

M80 did qualify? Those 3 you just named young upcoming talents with loots of room for growth

Calling g2 shit just shows ydk ball and is just yapping away for shahzam of all people 😴

You keep saying he was doing good individually but he was just mid?

Shahzam and dapr did all the stratting for sen. You can't blame any single 2022 sen player except rawkus or zombs maybe. It's unfair to judge him by that. Even on G2 man was putting up numbers along with oxy that too consistently while flexing roles.

FNS's teams have always done decent lol.. they reached top 4 masters tokyo in 2023 and qualified for champs.. he hardly had any chance to play in 2024 and then won 2 off season tournaments in 2025.. they lost 2 close games (1-2) in 2025.. Shaz has done fuck all since 2021... and couldnt do shit in tier 2 with G2 either.. stop the cope.

Never said fns was bad or anything. But same logic, you think fns can do fuck all in t2? Lmao. Man can't play against ascendant lobbies. Anyone would qualify with envy core.

yet almost all of optic players are either shitting the bed or watching the games from home.. just like shaz lol.. why would FNS play tier 2 brother when he literally won 2 offseason tournaments this year itself and qualified for every international LAN till today.. dont even count 2024 cause they came in when it was already over.

Average NA fans. He did not qualify last year either. Your team is out, maybe you are in shock or something. It's ok. He will be back to watch party prx and we both will be happy. Congrats on the offseason tho. That's the only thing NRG wins this year.

the thing is that he seems even worse to a point were his decent calling isn't making up for it anymore, especially in a team that no longer has solid players.

if you're gonna get FNS to igl you need to have players that will carry his ass, otherwise, get a different IGL that can carry its own ass at least

nah.. while yes there are better mechanically skilled IGLs -- i can think of johnqt as an example but in my opinion john is probably the best in the world.. so thats an exception not the rule. HOWEVER i think FNS cannot be sentinel anymore.. Sentinels have to be ur second best if not the best mechanical player -- thats how they beat 100t... Verno was on Vyse. I think someone from s0m and verno will have to pick up sentinel and let FNS play breach or other flash intiators..

I will never talk about replacing FNS or Boostio as long as we have players like the entire C9 roster, EG minus yay and others who have literally done fuck all (Asuna, Xeppaa) in their entire career.. FNS gets to play as long as he wants to lol.. idc

alright so your final point is "there are other players who suck, let FNS suck in peace"?

+if you put FNS on something like smokes you replace s0m on smokes, and FNS isn't good enough for initiator IMO.

They gave him senti to just camp since that's the only way he might provide some value

FNS's teams have consistently done well. His teammates without him have consistently failed without him. These two are facts. Yes they lost two games (1-2 each time) and this format is brutal. There is no proof of him sucking, if any one underperformed today it was Verno.

I said put FNS on breach or whatever support initiator, not smokes. Verno and Ethan will need to figure out recon or sentinel.. Almost every good team has a good mechanical player on sentinel now

Rossy has a bit suspect in the calling department, yeah FNS can't aim for shit but his calling has always been his strong suit.
Shahz is just as washed bruh, average calling, slightly above average fragging in 2025.

If NRG goes that route, which likely won't be unless split 1 is a total failure, I'd like to see them look into IGLs like
Stellar
hell even GMD or Skuba would be solid
