Wouldn't there be a language barrier if they add ScreaM? Also he has not played pro play in nearly 8 months. Sure, he might be a contender, but I don't think thats gonna work out. One that also might be able to replace Icy is Oxy, but I don't think C9 want to give that talent of a player up.

Clearly he's shown that he wants to explore other roles just to be able to play, he has said it himself too. Get some work on his Raze, maybe learn Neon, I don't know, but if he could take the duelist role it would def add to the team. He could also just pull a something and play Jett on basically every map.

This is a very weird opinion, but if Demon1 replaces Icy, G2 might be a contender for winning champions. G2 are a slow and methodical team, which is Demon1's playstyle. He usually gets inserted into an area and pops off with supportive util from the rest of the team, which would fit him perfect on G2. It will also add the needed solo player carry and firepower to let them rise to the top. As Icy is right now, yes, he plays well, but he is not a good enough duelist or player to be able to lift up the team when it is needed.

Only problem I can see is that Demon1's raze is not ideal, but I definitely think the team can work around that, or let him learn the agent to play in pro play.

They benched Demon1 cuz his wife is sick and he's worrying about her. Also his playstyle does not fit how the team plays at the moment.

yeah no shit, but there is no 3rd match, this is it.

Why do FUT not throw OT on ascent on purpose? They need to win with more rounds to qualify. On bind they won with +3 and on ascent they only won with +2. They were -7 before it all and need to go +2 or more, so just throw the OT, bring it to 3rd map and try to win it out there. Actually stupid of FUT to do that, threw away the chance.
