I gotta say, whoever’s idea it was to sign babybay as a host for all of this content, give them a promotion. He makes everything flow so well and you can really tell the difference in the quality of the videos since he’s came on board.
Question for FNS: as an IGL do you prefer when u win a round with the initial call working as planned or when something goes wrong and mid calling from you and your teammats helps bring it back?
Question: How much does anti-strating contribute to wins? ie noting player tendencies, way they use ults, pistol round etc. Is it something that you guys are consistently thinking about or does some stuff get lost in the heat of the match?
Question: How do you apply playing ranked to improving for VCT? Are there specific things you focus on like comms, mechs, strats, or are you just playing to get reps in?
FNS and other content creators have pointed out how map ban / pick is a meta in Valorant thats been largly ignored for "We play our best map, they play theirs." Do you see a future where we might see gigabrained strats that forces other teams to play their worst map?
Do you think it’s more impressive to be able to play any role at a high level like forsaken or is it more impressive to be at the top of your role like yay or demon 1?
Question : With the constant updates and agent meta shifts in Valorant, how does NRG approach adapting to new changes? Do you have a specific process for incorporating new agents or strategies into your game plan, or is it more of an organic team decision?"
Question for Everyone: If you could take one aspect from another Esport and bring it to VCT what would it be? (i.e: Seeding, Splits, Map Bans, Agent Bans, or anything else)?
Question: Honestly speaking how good do you guys think Sinatraa is right now? can he still be a top 10 player in the world? and what team would be the best fit for him?
QUESTION #1 : What are the NRG expectations as a team going into the 2025 season? QUESTON #2: What are the the players personal expectations/standards for the 2025 season? QUESTION #3 : What can the NRG fans expect from this 2025 roster, how many LANs appearances can the fans expect ?
lol not fns saying “Verno” instead of not name dropping like everyone else was. Let’s be honest here NRG… We all know who you’re picking up already. PLEASE JUST DROP 😅🫶🏼 I just wanna see how they’re gonna announce it, hope it’s a fire vid

Best video yet, definitely no bias in this statement. Thanks for having me, haven't been so nervous in ages lol. Excited for the upcoming season
This babybay guy is a pretty good podcast host.
He should maybe upload his own podcast, talking with other awesome people...🤔
FNS just caually confirms Verno before the org can lmao
He’s confirmed it on stream already
Fuck it. Nrg is taking too long
I think we watched the same vid lil bro
just got announced now lol
When is s0m vs fns match guys?
these podcasts are so good for the offseason.
Hopefully you guys win this season! Also great pick up on bonkar. He will definitely lead you all well
keep babybay in all future vids this guy is so good

FNS and other content creators have pointed out how map ban / pick is a meta in Valorant thats been largly ignored for "We play our best map, they play theirs." Do you see a future where we might see gigabrained strats that forces other teams to play their worst map?
FNS, how much say did you have in snagging Bonkar (and Verno *caugh) for the NRG roster?
Do you think it’s more impressive to be able to play any role at a high level like forsaken or is it more impressive to be at the top of your role like yay or demon 1?
any role 100% it’s not even close
any role. versatility is key to success
Being at the top level of a role is more important if you're the absolute best than being mid level at everything
You need both
@jonny7444 the thing is forsaken is not mid at everything hes literally one of the best
i NEED some duelist maps from s0m this season
Question : With the constant updates and agent meta shifts in Valorant, how does NRG approach adapting to new changes? Do you have a specific process for incorporating new agents or strategies into your game plan, or is it more of an organic team decision?"
Question for FNS: what as an IGL differentiates you from other top IGL's? What makes you or your style of calling so good?
cringe
Question for Everyone:
If you could take one aspect from another Esport and bring it to VCT what would it be? (i.e: Seeding, Splits, Map Bans, Agent Bans, or anything else)?
Question: Honestly speaking how good do you guys think Sinatraa is right now? can he still be a top 10 player in the world? and what team would be the best fit for him?
quick everyone act surprised
Question for FNS: Does the meta of the game change the way you IGL, and if so what was your favorite meta to IGL in
cringe
actually understand the game 😂😂😂
What do you think the next meta will be like the last meta was retake with omen, cypher, and viper before she got nerfed?
Question: Will Som ever play harbor?
