Imagine hiring an european player when you have a giant pool of players in America and couldve picked someone just as good if not better for half the price.
what were the options at the time ?
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
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
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
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
