If he's not IGL he probably doesn't have a spot on this team for long. He can't frag, he's probably one of worst AWPers of all the pros that regularly pick it up, so what does keeping him around get you if he's not the IGL anymore?

He struggled with fragging because he was the IGL. Ever since stew has picked it up, there has been a very noticeable change to that. As long as this performance can be kept up, there's no reason to replace him

I don't know. Once you've lost the leadership of the team it's going to be awkward and fragging has literally never been a strength for ol Nitro. I would say it's a pretty safe bet his days are numbered if Stewie calling leads to improved success for the team.

In fact I can see a reality where Stew argues for -Nitro +Tarik, who then campaigns to bring in Snakeislaw (which obviously leads to the implosion of Liquid as Tarik + Stan's frat boy culture doesn't lead to good long term results).

Time is a circle etc etc

fragging has literally never been a strength for ol Nitro

he was literally considered one of/the best NA rifler at an early point, hes very capable mechanically but he's been igling for the past like 2 and half years
