EWW_EU_EWHO [#3]most teams made the decision with Chamber in mind. Ardiis was the second best chamber after yay so they went with him. No English speaking chamber player even comes close to these 2
Cryo was def not far behind in chamber meta, nrg will def regret not signing cryo
Pengu12 [#4]Cryo was def not far behind in chamber meta, nrg will def regret not signing cryo
they won't bc they are getting yay
Ardiss was a top 5 duelist in 2022
He ain't the only reason NRG fell off....they have a lackluster team in general and most of their players farm low tier teams and shit the bed against top teams.
Victor has been inconsistent this year
FNS calling has been sub-par at best
Ardiss was pretty mid
S0m had great games against tier2 teams and people though he's the second coming of the Messiah
Crashies in my opinion was the only saving grace of the team

That makes sense but Chamber was already nerfed and falling off the meta. Loud won champions and barely play any Chamber
the most fraudulent management and idk why chet decided to go for the worst possible option of jett duelist out of sayf and ardiis
there is a reason every player fnatic picks is good, they have good scouting and responsible management,
while NRG really sat down in a meeting and said,yes , fuck it , we need a duelist, so we'll import a player all the way from EU do his visa and shit and then get ardiis lmfaoooo

bro is not good enough to be a duelist in 10 team tier 1 league. whatever you want to say, his chamber was good at "LANS , VCT LANS", but was shit and inconsistent throughout 2022 itself

Because guild weren't really doing that well at the time, koldamenta really trolled guild, they had both Leo and sayf but didn't make international events... that's impressively bad

That's cope....NRG performed pretty good in their own region...I remember them having a great regional record only losing to C9 and Loud.
They weren't prepared for BilliBilli tho who did play really well

everyone was looking at sayf bro even SEN were considering him

Nrg lost to mibr, the worst team in the league
Xabrusca [#14]Nrg lost to mibr, the worst team in the league
That was literally their 2nd match...they also lost to Leviathan which was their 1st match...after that they went on to win 6 out of their 7 games.
The only reason Loud and C9 were 8-1 in regular season was because NRG was the only team that beat them

you arent getting the guild roster, you are getting a player from guild. there is a reason why i am calling nrg management/chet (whoever was responsible for getting the duelist) fraudulent. only someone who doesnt know valorant and who cant judge the players abilities and strengths well will pick ardiis over sayf. if you want to go deep enough, you can go, but i have been calling ardiis the biggest fraud since 2023 started. when nrg got ardiis, i said that was the worst person they could've picked. and i was proven right

why are we comparing nrg performances, when i am calling out ardiis? ardiis was shit, no matter what happened, he had like 1 good map for every 4 map he shat the bed on. he isnt good enough for the duelist role. for the chamber role? maybe, but not good enough for jett and shit

ardiis was so bad they put him on sage

wasnt it proven that nrg did try to get sayf but he said no? might be misremembering
Xabrusca [#8]That makes sense but Chamber was already nerfed and falling off the meta. Loud won champions and barely play any Chamber
chamber got nerfed after all teams announced there roster 💀
Xabrusca [#18]ardiis was so bad they put him on sage
ardiis has been playing sage on all his teams at times.

Also have to remember players have to want to go to a team. There’s a chance Ardis was the only one willing to go to NRG out of the duelist they considered.
Moving across the world isn’t an easy choice to make For any player, regardless of their talent. So there could have been other reasons why Ardis was chosen over someone else
espeon [#20]wasnt it proven that nrg did try to get sayf but he said no? might be misremembering
i never heard about that, but if sayf wasnt available, i would have easily picked up 100s of cracked NA jetts, like koala or tex or whoever (remember this happened around sept-oct, so none of them were signed to their current teams)

yes, but i will choose any NA player over ardiis if i cannot get sayf. picking ardiis when you know chamber meta is not going to be a thing is dumb
kapteN [#22]ardiis has been playing sage on all his teams at times.
Yes, and that is more reason not to rely on him as the star duelista lul
LyCan52 [#21]chamber got nerfed after all teams announced there roster 💀
Yes he got MORE nerfed but at Champions he was already nerfed, Loud woulve never won against yay on prime chamber

sam did pretty good in masters though (we don't talk about the shorty incident)
champs was pretty good other than the ascent game against BLG yesterday

riyal
Pengu12 [#4]Cryo was def not far behind in chamber meta, nrg will def regret not signing cryo
pretty sure Nadeshot wanted cryo over yay even when yay was at his prime so i doubt they even had a chance to pick him up

They need more firepower
dayyaan1 [#32]pretty sure Nadeshot wanted cryo over yay even when yay was at his prime so i doubt they even had a chance to pick him up
yea Nadeshot has said that he would rather get cheaper younger promising players and develop them rather than spending crazy amounts of money on established players so he wanted cryo
