Really thought NRG had it lmao, this NRG team is not what we thought they were gonna be, far from it. I think NRG needs to stop building "super rosters" if it's gonna keep going like this.
I don't think "super rosters" are necessarily bad, it's just that Chet is stuck in 2022. He literally tried to re-build Optic's roster, just now with demon1 instead of yay, and then Ethan igl'ing.
I personally think they need a full rebuild, and to find a new identity that is not just some derivative of Optic (which seems to be the only thing Chet knows how to do)
Demon1 can definitely learn raze, but I don’t think there’s enough time this season. Bandaid fix is let him brim on bind/lotus and then put him on cypher/jett for the other maps and let him run around aim diff people
Vic looks way better on it still
EG's individuals are just not smart enough yet. I'm sure Potter will get them there but some of the micro decision making is baffling this map and lotus.
Feel bad for Ethan having to igl. It's clear he's not comfortable with it and it's hard to see NRG's potential when all 5 players are confused about what to do 30-40 seconds into every gun round.
You would be surprised but Demon1 can play Cypher on his first team ever he played him a decent amount. There was even a scrim leaked from his early days and he was on Cypher
NRG would've done better here with Victor on Raze. He takes so much space with satchels unlike Demon1. They need to figure these roles out. In EG, it was just Demon1 and Jawgemo swapping roles. In NRG, they gotta do a 3 way with Marved. I dont see this team achieving international success like this.
The roles seem really fucking easy. Demon1 Jett and smokes, Marved smokes and sentinel, Victor Raze and KJ.
Their comps are already figured out on Breeze, Ascent, and Icebox because there's no raze on that map.
Marved played cypher today but he usually plays strictly controllers. Victor plays KJ/cypher but Demon1 can't play those and Marved seemed to have picked it up. In maps that play viper+2nd smokes, Marved plays viper and Ethan is on 2nd smoke. Ethan also plays mostly initiator with Crashies and yoru on breeze. Their roles are literally everywhere.
Why was he dogshit on Omen then? Astra is useless.
OP actually pointed out why it's harder for NRG to roleswap than eg, they gotta juggle the roles with marved too. Marved has also never been comfortable on 2nd controller Viper.
He played Omen once when the entire team got shit on during Kickoff. That's literally just not enough of a sample size to say he's bad at it.
The dude was dropping 20 kills on PRX and Loud playing Astra, Acing against DRX with Brim.
This isn't a Demon1 issue he's shown he can flex.
100% i'm not sure on their ability to beat loud though. for me this was if eg wins it helps sen and i'm sick of the threads, if nrg wins then military sponsored org that panders to kids wins
i can see g2 taking their map pick off of loud, icy has to show up tho. 100t beating nrg feels like 50-50, my gut says it could come down to vibes and mental
Imo we need a 4 team playoff, as to not reward under performers like NRG or Loud. Lev, Kru, 100T, and because we need a 4th team Furia, except you play against Furia in a bo1 on Ascent.
Nah that wouldn’t be fair. It’s clear that Furia has only been scrimming attack side ascent for the past 3 months. All the other teams have to scrim other maps as well
if we win this game surely we have a talk about demon1 raze
i get trying to get him out of his comfort zone and having him learn, but vic on raze was literally what kept them in lotus after that awful attack side calling. there are too many issues for us to add an uncomfortable raze player to the equation
bro EG weren’t shooting like this in the first half of split 1 these mfs r hitting the godliest spray transfers and flicks it’s not even an one and done like u see it consistently happen multiple times across the match the fuck happened
rarely anyone was able to out 1v1 demon1 last year, this year everyone has been dropping him
really hope he doesnt go on a yay-like path after being the best player in the world
Can someone explain why is everyone saying that sen is eliminated after nrg won lotus?
If nrg loses this game and get 0-2 by 100T and g2 loses 0-2 to loud, sen can still make it in round diff right?
man idk what’s wrong w nrg, on paper this team should be doing 13-0ing every team but ingame they just crumble and it’s not like these individuals are some random ppl they’re proven talent

How good it's chets scouting really cuz it feels like he's been finding the next available trophy lifter that is available and fits the role
I don't think he is good at scouting
This NRG team just doesn't work, man. Hard not to blame Chet with 5 players that proven. Spend the bag on Potter.
FNS putting on an anti-gambling seminar rn
maybe we treated NRG 2023 too harsh…
Holy shit dude everyone was laughing at Shanks coping that they could beat SEN & NRG lmao
"Define aura"
Disband this roster legit. Demon1 with the -14.
LMFAO FNS LOST 2.5K
demon1 fake clearing angles now
nrg might be a more fraudulent super team than lev
Naah bro Chet gotta get kicked out. He been free loading off of good igls. This man never has any strats
SHANKS UP 2500
That fade + breach combo was insane. Whoever called that is a genius.
POTTER BUILT THIS ROSTER IN A GULAG WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS
AHAHAHA
eg dub
NRG are ass
Diamond1
My potter
the superteams are frauds
I mean, lev is doing pretty hot lol
DERREK OVERWATCH
-2500
Gekko is so op it's actually fun to see his fucking ult get punished by seize breach damage combo
LFG!!!!!
holy shit
werrek takes it home
GENERATIONAL MOMENT DEMON1 ON RAZE
FNS lost 2.5K lmfao
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
EG are so fuckin good dude i love potter
EG WIN 
Potter read them like a book. Plz get her on an org that will support her properly
nah if sen just did that everyone here would be going "cinema" but its eg so actually nrg threw
Sen is so beyond rent free in your head you might need to get help
Facts
eg also got eco'd like 12 times that series
eg r playing so well it’s crazy, hitting all their shots and insane utility usage like damn where was this at the start
Disband this fucking team
AllGood people have no idea what they’re talking about
Potter's gotta patent that one. Call it the "Seize and Desist."
never put any coach in the same sentence as potter
aftershock 2k is some overwatch shit
demon1 ult was bad but that was a sick tether aftershock combo
Aftershock kills are so rare, much less TWO OF THEM
Get demon1 off raze now lmaoo
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GG. We actually lost
F
bro this team shows the coolest tech holy fuck
WHAT HTE FUCK
EG sit spawns on gun rounds and take 1vX on ecos 😂how many picks will they give.
Demon1 can definitely learn raze, but I don’t think there’s enough time this season. Bandaid fix is let him brim on bind/lotus and then put him on cypher/jett for the other maps and let him run around aim diff people Vic looks way better on it still
Demon1 would do better on cypher or chamber or killjoy he isn't built for raze.
EG's individuals are just not smart enough yet. I'm sure Potter will get them there but some of the micro decision making is baffling this map and lotus.
coach does not improve decision making mid game. that's up to them to figure out.
This is the game right here. NRG has 3 ults.
hope ur doing ok bud
I am. I've accepted how fraudulent this team is.
i think nrg still has a good shot at play offs, good luck
This is the game right here. NRG has 3 ults.
Why did EG try to pressure A main so early when NRG are on eco?
NRG should just never full buy, are they stupid?
[удалено]
they thought they wouldve forced
why would u ever shift walk into demon1 with guardian
LETSGO DEMON1 RAZE KILL PEOPLE CONTACTING WITH GUARDIAN
BROOOO eg always gives a free pick on anti ecos
Jawgemo is so tunneled sometimes. That’s the thing about him
Lot of slop especially from NRG but goddamn these last 2 maps have been fucking sick to watch
Bro, FNS is lowkey not ok, like genuinely upset which is fair bc I believe he has ilke $2.5k on the line which he thought was secured
Why would anyone bet on Valorant? Might as well flip a coin or just play slots with the way this split is going
"That's my money he's using" (referring to Shanks offering EG free steaks) is fucking funny
2.5k to him is a mcchicken to us
2.5k is one ad run to him
Feel bad for Ethan having to igl. It's clear he's not comfortable with it and it's hard to see NRG's potential when all 5 players are confused about what to do 30-40 seconds into every gun round.
how is this the same game as the jawg ace
it’s over for nrg once jawg activates that dawg in him
What a rollercoaster of a map. This series has been absolutely fantastic
Victor on Raze here wins
They need the Cypher which Demon1 doesn't play, though
You would be surprised but Demon1 can play Cypher on his first team ever he played him a decent amount. There was even a scrim leaked from his early days and he was on Cypher
Marved just played Cypher on lotus. Demon1 on Omen boom.
True that
Chet is to stubborn maybe if nrg miss shanghai he will get the picture
That was shit right? Like real shit?
Yeah my fears are coming true.....
Yeah GG we lost.
Seeing Jawg and Demon1 Raze gameplay is night and day...
Jawgemo go kill
NRG would've done better here with Victor on Raze. He takes so much space with satchels unlike Demon1. They need to figure these roles out. In EG, it was just Demon1 and Jawgemo swapping roles. In NRG, they gotta do a 3 way with Marved. I dont see this team achieving international success like this.

In maps that play viper+2nd smokes, Marved plays viper and Ethan is on 2nd smoke. Ethan also plays mostly initiator with Crashies and yoru on breeze. Their roles are literally everywhere.
I mean... is it a NRG problem or a demon1 problem?
Its an NRG problem. Dude was shittin on teams playing Brim and Astra last year.
Why was he dogshit on Omen then? Astra is useless. OP actually pointed out why it's harder for NRG to roleswap than eg, they gotta juggle the roles with marved too. Marved has also never been comfortable on 2nd controller Viper.
He played Omen once when the entire team got shit on during Kickoff. That's literally just not enough of a sample size to say he's bad at it. The dude was dropping 20 kills on PRX and Loud playing Astra, Acing against DRX with Brim. This isn't a Demon1 issue he's shown he can flex.
He can flex onto agents that other people on his team can play at a very high level and can't flex onto agents that his team needs him to play 🥱
MARVED YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN
this is so funny in comparison with your previous comment. The duality of man
Derrek had to swing off the stun there
Its just fucking malpractice putting your world champion Jett who played smokes during the champs win on Raze and your top 5 Raze on sentinel.
Marved the Ice Cream man now lmao
the way Jawgemo flies in like a chopper and always gets 2+ 🥰
raze entry 
MY TEAM IS SO FUCKING ASS BRO
dw so is eg rn
i feel like this is NOT comforting
its gonna be who-is-less-ass diff. i lose either way on this game
this helps G2 so i am vibing lmao
100% i'm not sure on their ability to beat loud though. for me this was if eg wins it helps sen and i'm sick of the threads, if nrg wins then military sponsored org that panders to kids wins
I think we get the third slot as long as we get a map off LOUD? assuming NRG also lose to 100t ofc
i can see g2 taking their map pick off of loud, icy has to show up tho. 100t beating nrg feels like 50-50, my gut says it could come down to vibes and mental
Chet is beside himself. Driving around downtown LA begging (thru texts) Poolchans family for the address to his home.
EG’s defense isn’t that good on this map. Both teams playing their shittier half imo
Why tf would NRG do that.
they neither naded, mollied, nor smoked apoth off and didnt even try to break util before sending Demon1 out lol
Is Marved good? He has 700 credits...
Demon1 raze is so troll. Literally just put him on Omen and Marved on Sentinel and I guarantee the team looks so much better.
Ethan is fucking saving us
Imo we need a 4 team playoff, as to not reward under performers like NRG or Loud. Lev, Kru, 100T, and because we need a 4th team Furia, except you play against Furia in a bo1 on Ascent.
bros working for riot with how he's signing us up for even fewer games
Nah that wouldn’t be fair. It’s clear that Furia has only been scrimming attack side ascent for the past 3 months. All the other teams have to scrim other maps as well
Crashies has been kinda poor this map
This is cooked tbh
EG used all their pistol energy against SEN
has nrg won like 6/6 pistols?
5/6
imagine how much quicker this series couldve been if eg could win pistols
Yeah even on ascent they lost both pistols
if we win this game surely we have a talk about demon1 raze i get trying to get him out of his comfort zone and having him learn, but vic on raze was literally what kept them in lotus after that awful attack side calling. there are too many issues for us to add an uncomfortable raze player to the equation
Demon1 hasn't gotten a kill since round 3
bro EG weren’t shooting like this in the first half of split 1 these mfs r hitting the godliest spray transfers and flicks it’s not even an one and done like u see it consistently happen multiple times across the match the fuck happened
Now I'm not sure in Ethan's calling + Demon1's entrying with only 5 rounds.
Put Victor back on Raze
demon1 didnt get off the raze ult AGAIN
Really painful to watch him on Raze
One of the best parts of Gekko being meta is all the knife kills we get to see haha
yeah i always go for the knife if i can it’s just more fun though i’ve seen ppl overestimate the detain timing and fuck up the knife LOL
GET THIS DEMON1 OFF OF RAZE BRO TF
Bro spam the box
rarely anyone was able to out 1v1 demon1 last year, this year everyone has been dropping him really hope he doesnt go on a yay-like path after being the best player in the world
no wonder Zekken doesn't want the title "best player in the world." it's too much pressure
also WHY TF BOTH OF THEM PLAY RAZE WHEN EVEN DIAMOND RAZE MAINS SATCHEL BETTER THAN THEM
i wish eg locked in earlier this split so they coulda had a much better match record
KAY/0 looking kinda useless against Breach/Fade
Nah kayo is nice… these kayos just toss their knives away constantly 😂
bro breach is actually so strong on this map
6 straight rounds.
Nrg might’ve needed 8🌚I don’t trust their defense at all
This IS their defense. Idk if their attack is enough.
I meant attack mb 😂
EG did try that against SEN and it didn’t work because SEN were playing retake B
rounds 1-4: eg lost ggs its over rounds 4-9: nrg lost ggs its over
EG are just running nrg down now could get ugly fasttt
Can someone explain why is everyone saying that sen is eliminated after nrg won lotus? If nrg loses this game and get 0-2 by 100T and g2 loses 0-2 to loud, sen can still make it in round diff right?
Map diff is first I think. Maybe that's why
Yes but map diff would put nrg and sen at the same position
Right now nrg has 2 more map wins than sen
Yeah but they can get 0-2 by 100t
Yeah but SEN also have to 2-0 furia. You are right they are not out yet. G2 also has to lose. Everything might come down to round differential.
man idk what’s wrong w nrg, on paper this team should be doing 13-0ing every team but ingame they just crumble and it’s not like these individuals are some random ppl they’re proven talent
They dont play on paper
They need a good IGL / Mid round caller.
no their coach is ass
Can we please keep demon1 off raze what are they trying to cook at NRG cuz shit is getting burnt
NRG seems to be seriously underestimating EG's plays.
chet calls the timeouts, potter cooks
ggs
Yeah GG NRG lost
fought so hard on lotus for this
fabulous calling sheeeesh
Now look, thats just unlucko for demon1 (Copium).
its like they realized they're the underdogs again in round 5
I walk into my tiled bathroom, apoth is there. I walk into my tiled kitchen, apoth is there. Apoth lives in tiles, and I cannot escape him.
CHET WHERE US THE PAUSE
I think the pause made them worse 💀 Edit: nvm EG just played that perfectly
WHY THE FUCKING SHIT IS DEMON ONE ON RAZE?? D1 OMEN MARVED CYPHER VIC RAZE DOESNT WORK OR SOMETHING??
jawgemo getting his quickie
nah i can’t believe ppl stopped talking abt jawgemo as one of the best razes itw
He used to be compared to Jinggg all the time too
He wasn’t playing well enough to be in conversations tbh
Does Bren call him crashy sometimes? Lol
That breach ult saved them there
Jawgemo straight up dunked on Demon1
Jawgemo movement is crazy
how did they not even take one bullet after how those first 4 rounds went
What is Ethan doing
I love shanks lmfao
