The TRUTH Behind EG Demon1 vs NRG Demon1 

Chet should’ve hired Platoon for that analyst position 6 months ago

Boostio looks like he’s right… FNS really carried that Chet in strats and great midrounding

watching this has lowkey made me realize the difference between proplay and ranked

this is pretty similar to how Tenz criticized himself and was criticized by people like sideshow. He himself said he didn't like and wasn't comfortable on hard entry roles and preferred 2nd entry and trading. I think this is probably how NRG need to shift, by either evening up duty or putting demon1 on a trading position more often.

demon1 really needs teamates who he can trust and set him up for success. so sad to see the king of hell fall this far (like yay, as their current situations and playstyles are pretty similar). hopefully he finds a team that works together and supports his playstyle. its so interesting how cryo's situation and stats were similar to demon1's as well, and i truly believe that the only difference between the two superstars is the teamwork and trust.

you gotta wonder what would happen if boostio and demon1 played together again. i do believe he (and let's be honest, potter too) was the main reason why eg's team came together in the end

very smart analysis on the type of player he is and the team dynamic, it makes a lot of sense why nrg have lost their way

even though he isnt actually washed, its funny to call him "diamond 1"

Victor and Crashies were known as a duo because of their synergy between entry duelist + initiator roles... Honestly not sure why chet kept Victor and Crashies together on the team if he wasn't planning on maintaining their bond.

Potter was w coach

everyone wishes that peak demon 1 comes back, it made the game so fun to watch

Im just halfway through the video but when you mentioned that Demon1 gets thrown to the wolves in NRG, it reminded me of S0m's comment in one of the watch parties wherein he said something along the lines of "someone help him! Why are they letting Demon1 enter alone" There just seem to be a lot of rounds where he didnt have backup or a follow up. Great analysis btw! The stats and comparison with Aspas' team dynamic really helped me better understand!

This is so applicable to Yay and cryo as well. Also shows how Aspas is really just built different. Edit: Just reached the end and saw how you mentioned Victor and Yay as well. Apart from a team strat point of view, a pro entry shouldn't necessarily be the best headshooter. Look at how Jingg is super entry while hs are low, Less really poppin heads but is great at being a sentinel. Tenz is also another prime example really. TBH it just may be the teams marketing sales points that cripple these cracked sharpshooters. They never thrived in delivering chaos, but survive d by being calm in the eye of the storm. T1 and Zeta have the same problems but hell, thats another story.

I got such a sense of deja vu towards the end of this video and it suddenly clicked when you brought up Demon1's similarities to Yay. Feels like the exact same scenario played out.

I am so glad you have talked about this, I really wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the great work Platoon.

I think it comes down to Chet. A different coach would work better along with a true igl to enforce team culture

Great analysis! It's hard to notice these things as a casual player, so your analyses are very helpful :)

Why he was so good with EG - He got given a chance at a tier 1 team that was ranked last in Americas at the time. He got that bulldog mentality where he got nothing to lose and can only go up. At the time, he was also getting closer to his current fiance(Katarina) and I'm sure that helped him mentally. Wins by wins, EG build up their momentum and chemistry which eventually got them a champions win. Why he sucks with NRG - So much pressure to perform in a completely new environment. New teammates and coaching staff to work with. Becoming his teams main duelist while he was more of Jett only duelist and smoke player in EG. The coach(chet) that hasn't really been as proactive as potter(EG's coach) in recent time. To make it worse, his fiance is currently having severe health issues.

Insane video, love your editing style and the numbers really help show the emphasis on clear issues in the team. Please keep making these!

demon 1 is also goign though a lot in his life like his gf katarina going through medical struggls daily. im not saying it accounts for his performance but it does probably play a factor.

We can't forget his aim. The difference is night and day. I know it's not really something you can talk about in a video like this but some of his plays in 2023 heavily relied on his aim and it's just kind of gone. Could be because of the things happening in his personal life, or the pressure that's on him.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO, A LOT OF STATISTICS. so perfect, watching all this correlation is awesome GREAT ANALYSIS keep the content dude

Another great video, Platoon. I'm looking forward to the next one! ❤

first time watching your videos and you definitely know how to properly pin point every single detail. Got a sub

Bro, It's so cool to watch your analysis! Nice video

Another Platoon banger has come upon us

You have to be one of the best competitive valorant analyst channels i’ve stumbled upon. Deserve a lot more recognition within the scene!

I really admire your skills to identify mistakes on this level. Really takes a lot to be able to do that.

Finally seeing this video from you is like getting a piece of evidence into court that fully solidifies my verdict

This analysis was superb, sub worthy!

Great video, seems like a ton of effort was put into the investigation, thank you

BABE WAKE UP PLATOONS JUST DROPPED A NEW VID 🗣

this video is amazing man, you definitely should be hired as an analyst

What an insanely accurate analysis. great work i used to tell my old team this but they all thought the same as current NRG, only have duelist take 1st engagements or they are baiting. Very glad to see some numbers showing the complete opposite for what an actual team dynamic is supposed to look like when winning.

this was so nicely structured, well done

0:28 nahhhh the slow-mo on that shot is crazy

demon 1 isnt bad anymore, its just nrg isnt a good team

One of the best analysis ever. Such a great idea to look into and compare first engagements for these calm aimers.

Very nice informative and logicall analysis from u. W points and statics used 🙏🔥

Very insightful. Crazy how similar he is to yay

This analysis was amazing. Ur getting a sub for this.

RU-vid suggested this video and after watching I have realised so many things. I'm not a huge fan of demon1 but kinda felt sad for his performance this year and didn't knew what went wrong, after watching this video got so much info about teams, coordination, strats, agent pick etc. Appreciate this video ❤

Im actually convinced by the info and hard work you put it

this is a really good analysis, im going to apply to my own teammates for our premier matches

This shows how he really knows what he's saying. Like wow I've been a fps nerd especially on valorant but some of the factors you mentioned never even crossed my mind. Good job for this really well thought of video.

good video platoon! May i suggest a video idea of a deep analysis of Forsaken's agent pool? maybe you can analyse his transition from a jett-yoru only player in 2022 into being a flex god in 2023/24

i always get so happy when i see an upload

Finally someone explained the situation so well Thank you ❤

Holy shit i just realized how much similar cryos current role is compared to 2023 demon1. And its working. Boostio utilized both mechanically insane players perfectly. Bro replaced jawgemos role with asuna and demon1s role with cryo

Really great video. I think this is a great explanation. I think they have the talent to fix their problems.

Bro that was an insane analysis. Thank you

I absolutely love your videos. As a data analyst student myself I understand how difficult it is to extrapolate the underlying factors from superficial data. I really admire your works. If possible can you attach your works with some github links or something

beautiful analysis sub deserved

Ya i agree demon1 have the same playstyle with yay but they need demon1 to have calm aim that he used to have and they to change they're agent comp so that demon1 can have more time to reposition and find pick off that he used to . Ty bro Nice vid btw SHEEEEEEEEEEEEESH! Its just my oppinion so

Sick analysis ty 🙏

thank you so much for making this video at first i thought that demon1 was bad after he swapped the team to nrg with the old optc core, now i actually open minded to how different playstyle affect the performance of the player like demon1

this is a very well put together video

Fantastic video Platoon!

Also Jawgemo played Omen in many maps, meaning he may have been the dominant first entry even when they played double duelists

Amazing analysis ❤ appreciate

W video. I loved that you touched on yay too

god your videos are so good

comment and liked, actual good analysis

Bruh holy shit such a W video. This guy needs to become a coach. such a detailed analysis!

Really think you should have pointed out Boostio as the common denominator for both Demon1 and Cryo. He plays like a secondary engagement player, which gave D1 and Cryo the opportunity to play to their styles.

Very good analysis man

So glad you brought up Yay. Optic’s signature style was inserting Yay chamber and letting him take 1v1s and lurk. It’s true that the play style doesn’t work nearly as well anymore with Chamber nerfs and teams getting better at handling it but it’s crazy that Chet doesn’t see the parallels here.

I love how you broke down more than just Demon1 but how to play Valorant as a whole in the case of a Duelist and even other roles. This was very informative and I know I can take a lot out of it

I never realized the correlation between 100T, EG, and NRG. It's actually scary how well it works as well. 100T picked up the brains behind last years EG (except Potter), and are now playing similarly to that team. Wow

Tonello TV pediu pra te dar um salve pois seu conteúdo é muito bom!

YOUR VIDS ARE THE BEST VAL VIDS ON RU-vid

Haven’t watched yet. Know this gonna be a banger.

A video explaining all the subsidiary roles on a team would be really interesting.

Really good video bro. It's shows why demon1, yay, and cryo struggle. With stars like these players, team may want to build system around them and they will carry u. This video also show that not that u r a player u will dominate everyone, it's depend on roles, system and team's synerguy. At the end of the day, Valorant is a 5 man game.

Feeling sad for my goat 🫠🫠 Hope he gets back stronger 🤝❤️

I already watched your vid the moment it came out but i didnt expect it to blow up so fast! Comment for algo lets get it half a million views this week🎉🎉🎉

It’s a team game nobody is a superstar alone. Valorant is such a complicated game and usually the ones that are winning are the ones with the best cohesion not necessarily the most mechanical. It’s kinda cool to see a players style broken down tho.

I like it how u could just make the exact same video about optic yay and dsg/bleed yay since all should apply to him aswell

it took me forever to realize how technical valorant is. Believe me i know the fundamentals of competitive esports, but videos like this just pushes everything at another level. Amazing video and dedication man!

Great analysis bro

Nice vid. Subbed

Thats basically what ive been feeling like since they signed them, i never knew how to say this but this seems so logical to me

🔥 great analysis

4:06 Tbh this could also be applied to yay's situation. In his optic prime he played chamber and wasn't considered to be the first guy that entered, instead he just played behind his team. I don't understand why people find it weird that he failed to find success in his duelist role these days.

Amazing analysis man

this is the same exact problem with yay on bleed, they don't need yay on raze all the time, just get someone aggresive that likes to entry and have yay just be chamber/sentinel/or maybe even follow cryo and go smokes, and have him as an insert-jett player on jett maps

this is what I found so confusing with NRG. I noticed this issue to a lesser extent, but it isn't one that NRG has necessarily had issues with before. NRG/Optic has used a Jett/Senti hybrid player in the last 3 iterations of the roster, in Yay, Ardiis, and now Demon. Why did the rest of the team suddenly forget how to play with this type of role? I think picking up a true IGL will help a lot as they can properly utilize that role like FNS was able to.

no way i was just thinking about that 2 days ago😭

im js halfway thru the video but ig another reason why demon1 shouldn't be heavily relied on for entry is bec his aiming style relies a lot on first shot accuracy (idk how to explain it but for reference go and watch his latest vid where he played a lot of dms then ig you'll understand what i mean). compare it with how something aims, itll be a very big difference w demon1.

Same thing was happening with Tenz, he said that he always shined in the second entry role and during Reykjavik Sick was the true entry and he was second in, and when he became the first entry he struggled because it wasn’t his play style

Great vid dude

Your analysis is quite good blud

This is a really good video, 👍

100T is a no joke anymore. Love to see Sung Jin Woo... i mean Cryo excel even more with that roster. This is a good analysis. 100% All of the teams stated should take notes on this.

Excellent video, would you say tenz on duelist was in a similar situation to nrg and hence he played so bad last year?

This is why Aspas keeps getting so much value

with his aimig style and his super low sens it is impossible to create the same amount of space and take first contacts like aspas or jawgemo

What an analyse respect

I wonder if this applies to Ardiis too considering he is playing well on Navi with zyppan and ange1.

That’s such an insane correlation that I would’ve never thought of. I don’t know how you do it, but Chet should be listening to you so NRG’s star studded roster doesn’t get dismantled just because of their performance for the first half of the year
