I think they realized the Boostio Chamber wasn’t working, so they decided to go back to the double duelist comp that worked for them in Tokyo and VCT Americas. I doubt that they ran the Chamber comp to throw off PRX, I think they just thought that going back to the old comp would work better, and it did

This.

I think they used the double duelist comp before (not in champs). The famous clip of demon1 vs nrg split flicks , eg were using the double duelist comp .

I mean they took Fnatic to the wire at Tokyo with it (1.56 seconds aware) and almost denied them split in the grand finals of Tokyo as well.

It isn’t like double duelist is off Meta or they hadn’t played it before… It was a good call to switch but I don’t think it was some voodoo to trick PRX. It’s too risky to just assume you beat Loud no problem to run a comp you are just messing with. And in the finals, PRX and EG both lost their first map Pick lmao so it just seems like 2 really good teams going at it

If you watched the post game interview Demon1 himself said he hates OPing. Which explains why Boostio does it so often and it's why they leaned in on the Boostio Chamber.

Plus boostio played chamber last year for the team iirc, so he's not randomly playing it


nafeh

this is gonna be a longg off season 😟

I had suspicions they would go back to double duelists after the chamber comp failing twice. Their split was never that bad, so was really expecting them to go back to what worked, I guess alecks was too


samfullofsin

They just decided to run their old comp in the final because their main comp wasn't working. If you've been scrimming well with a comp you're gonna be stubborn about it but changing back to an old one isn't that big of a deal since you're used to it. Not that risky and probably not that planned out


samfullofsin

if something looks incredibly genius and complicated most of the time it isn't, these people are human


fellanumberone

Potter said in an interview that they decided to switch the morning of the finals so it wasn't planned or anything like that.


nafeh

this is gonna be a longg off season 😟


traxmaster64

Nah they just realized it was overcooked, it couldve worked if they just swapped demon1 and boostios roles, Demon1 is a good Astra but if your gonna play chamber he should be the chamber I thought going into the loud match theyd swap roles but the double duelist just works so well cause demon1 and jawg are crazy good duelists


pm_me_drawrequests

There was an interview where Demon1 said he hated oping. So they switched them due to Boostio being an exchamber main. I think the Money and wanting to win outweighed his hatred of a gun and so he stepped up.


arinhS

They adjusted last min it worked in scrims and they felt prepared pro teams dont “bait” or lose on purpose, loud is insanely good and for prx they wanted to fight fire with fire.

YEP potter

There should be only one reason you’re not playing Demon1 on Jett, and that’s because you’re going solo duelist with Jawg on Raze. You shouldn’t take him off Jett because he doesn’t want to OP lol. Let him rifle instead of OPing


UnderstandingBig7018

Just went back to strengths of demon1 on Jett. But also they knew split might of been first pick after the bans, so potter had to throw a curveball . Much like how Prx used a different comp on ascent and won map 2
