top 6 player in kickoff btw

Demon1 has said multiple times that he isn't leaving NA lmao

i fw the jonahp and demon1 change

I mean thats a fair route for sure, but Demon1 is very open to opportunities as he's said many times, and he's already a proven talent who's won a world championship (and had arguably one of the highest peaks in the games history)

Maybe T2 talent would be a good route, but I think it would also be a good idea to maybe give him at least a trial and see how it goes

i guess not lmao

you would never put him on dive duelist tho like NRG did. Either put him on Jett or just put him senti/2nd controller

making him play raze/yoru is just terrible coaching from both chet/itopata, i dont think Kaplan is dumb enough to do that when Reduxx is on the team

His aim is just too good to deny

facts

N4rrate is just a total disaster so -Narrate +Demon1, put Demon1 on 2nd duelist have reduxx dive, or put Demon1 on senti

Would just make the team better instantly

bro's pissed Demon1 destroyed his old team

wait what stream was this

bros saying anything

id argue demon1 champs was higher

says today's meta

EG and it isn't even particularly close. I think EG would honestly 3-0 in today's meta, Jawgemo and Demon1 both in their primes were different (jaw in his prime rn, Demon1 in 2023 form)

rn? Cryo. Peak? Demon1

since when is first kills more important than kills? 61/50 vs 51/45. I know who I'm picking.

brother acting like he's not doing the same LOOL. he was the best player in the lobby today and the stats prove that. end of discussion.

keep hating shitcan.

you still have not explained how he supposedly did worse than aspas even though he fragged 10 more kills than him and was the highest fragger, ACS and ADR in the lobby. just shut the fuck up and stop hating jesus christ

so you have no counter-argument, you're just an idiot who's hatewatching because he shit on your team in 2023. thanks for showing how dumb you are.

He dropped 10 more kills than the other duelist, who just so happens to be the GOAT of valorant. I think he's doing just fine.

ah yes, "eco kills" "baiting" "exit frags". before you speak any more notice that the only reason you joined this website was to hate on one person who will quite literally never know your name.

the whole team quite literally went negative in first duels. It was a team problem, not a Demon1 problem. By your logic, yesterday keznit diffed mada because keznit went positive in fd when mada went negative? It's just such terrible logic.

please prove otherwise. actual dumbass didn't even watch the match LOL.

? If he's entering the bombsite, why would they not have a "real duelist"? He was the highest fragger in the lobby and entered the site plenty for his team, like he's supposed to do.

take away random ass op kill and its 12-12. Make no mistake, Demon1 played better than aspas today.

take away RNG op kill and it's 12-12 performance. Demon1 played better than aspas did today, that's for sure.

if you genuinely think Demon1 shit talks for any reason besides the clout that it gave him, you're an idiot. multiple people have said that Demon1 is one of the nicest players off stage. you just see the surface

and yet he still was the highest fragger in the lobby. he entered, yes he didn't do well in fk/fd but that's not everything.

he literally just topfragged the whole lobby today. i get hes not played so far up to his expectations but give him some time.

Xeppaa was on Adderall, dont think that game is recreatable from him.

Ethan and Demon1 were actually the highest rated players on the 2024 NRG team. Crashies, Marved and Vic (and chet as well) all let both of them down, as well as putting Demon1 on a role that he just wasn't ever prepared for.

brother is lying to himself wtf

your name literally says it all. you're weird af gang

is your entire life hating on one man? did he beat prx that badly in 2023?

ok to be fair, heat was lower rated by 0.01 cope

"well other than one of the most impactful duelists he is" ?

"super shit as a duelist" obvious bait

so ur just an idiot then

if you can find a clip i'd love to be proven wrong, but i'm pretty sure he never really shit talked

Jaw was pretty quiet overall. Ethan was less talk, more shooting bodies/tbagging and shit. Boostio and Demon1 were the two that were vocal about it.

Ethan shit talked a decent amount, actually. Jawgemo and c0m were the ones that never shit talked.

?

In terms of any match besides the Grand Finals this makes since. Not for the Grand Final though.

cant compare best team of all time against these other teams

This is an inconsistent statement. "If you can't keep a diverse map pool you should be punished in a finals."

I agree, but then why should Fnatic be allowed to ban EG's good maps and also have their first map pick?

Be fair. The map vetos were fucked for EG.

I think a more fair showing was the lower final. 2-1 with insanely close maps.
Even the grand final, every map besides I believe lotus was as close as could be.

I agree and disagree with this. I do think 2023 EG had the single highest peak of any team (although 2023 FNC was very close) in Champs 23. But if we are talking of all time, one tournament doesn't define it.

It's also unfortunate that they didn't get a chance to prove themselves in 2024. I truly do believe if they had more time together they could have been the best team in the world again. They seemed to bond like nobody else and truly had the chemistry required to be a winner.

Because it's quite literally impossible to enjoy a team when 50% or more of their fanbase is completely braindead. I have massive respect for the players, they are insane, but the fans make it so insufferable.

That's simply meta change. Most teams adapted rather than improve their individual roster. What the argument is here is that the level of competition is so much closer because of the retake/post plant meta. It doesn't allow for creativity as much, and it relies on very similar set plays between different teams. It feels to viewers, like it's the same thing over and over. It might be the best thing for the teams to do, and I'm not blaming them, but when it comes to viewership, it's definitely underwhelming.
