That's a very good view. Though, Ardis is still capable player who can go higher, but he need the right team for that, and I don't think NRG is the one for him, at least not from what they've shown so far. Yet, things could change, if they find a way to reshape their approach <-- very ambiguous take
MarveD is spot on, also a crack AIMer and rather wider-dimension player... however s0m isn't bad either but, like you stated, not a huge explorer/lurker - playstyle. Also S0m has this strange aura (or curse?) about him... No, of course, he is a competent player, but he has been quite unfortunate in terms of great success with NRG, in general.
Edit: added "wider- to dimension (inb4: not meant one dimensional but wider) to emphasize larger area of exploration ... Also whoever SAID or mentioned anything about ANcHOR is WRONG. Not again those ANcHOR baits.
