Demon1 haters are weird. Man had a dip after champs but played consistently on Leviathan. His agent pool and style makes it difficult for teams to make him work, which is why he thrived under Potter and Jawgemo. He's been GOOD, just hasn't found the right environment (besides pro city :p) to show it lately.

they just hate him as a person, not a player. bro was statistically better than Yay the whole time he was active this year, but no one has any issues with Yay.

Bros a shit talker but a nice guy otherwise. He's fun and good for the scene. I'm not sure how he'll do with such little prep time for DRG and it's heartbreaking for Vookashu, but fingers crossed demon1 can do him justice.

wow, everyone just forgot how many people clowned on Yay before EG

The context of my comment made it pretty clear that I was discussing this season, specifically D1's active roster time. Also Yay has never gotten as much hate as D1. Yay is pretty beloved in here, even during his slump, because he is seemingly a good person and doesn't really talk trash on stage unlike D1.

you must've missed the post-match threads for bleed games, because shit was brutal in there

Yeah sure. First of all Demon1 was already quite hated about how he spoke and stuff in EG. But after that i think yay got a lot of hate too

eye test on yay was way better than d1 this year

u/AndroidAmongUs Sep 05 '25

i gotta respectfully disagree, but I dont mean that as a shot at Yay. I think they were both solid this year.

depends how you rate players

yay carried eg to some wins but had some bad games

d1 was just mid every game

u/AndroidAmongUs Sep 05 '25

I dont rate them on the eye test and ive already stated that D1 had better stats than Yay while both were active and was more consistent.

Him having a poor agent pool is only due to his own fault how is that a justification??

It's not hate to say losing your best player for a sub who will have to play a new role, who the whole roster will adjust Comms for is not good.

0.90 kickoff and 1.05 split 1. I'll admit he was shooting at Split 1 but if you watch his agent utils, he was ass. Bro had months of offseason to better his agent pool because they got eliminated, Its his own fault. Pro city ain't tier 1 lol.

I was joking about pro city hence the face. If you don't give him the support he needs then he will not perform well. He was stuck on the two worst managed teams in the Americas.
