to import good players, u could find 10 NA t2 jetts off the streets who could play better than this guy
i mean really, they had sayf as an option but went for ardiis, like if you wanted some mid jett who could flex(ardiis still pretty average at any agent other than jett), you could've literally brought any random tier 2 jett like dsg or mxm have, you went for the most mis-hyped player in EU. i still dont understand how casters in 2022 called him a "good" flex duelist. playing 10 different agents and playing 10 different agents well, there is a difference
if you watch emea, you know that he was proven enough, and even if not, i couldnt see a world where chamber was going to be nerfed was obvious and you still went for ardiis. as the coaching staff and shit, its your responsibility to create a team for future. i dont know anything about how they did their research, but it literally looks like nrg saw players who had good stats in 2022 and went for ardiis, as he had the most chance to play at top.
also to repeat again, an unproven sayf>>>> ardiis in a non chamber meta
