Rumors: thwifo will become the sixth NRG player

According to well-known insider George Geddes, the North American esports organization NRG will sign a contract with thwifo. The 20 year old American player will be the sixth member of the team, joining the backbone of OpTic Gaming and ardiis. It is reported that the e-sportsman has already signed a contract with the club, while the transfer will be announced in the near future.

thwifo spent the last season with T1, together with which he became the winner of Nerd Street Gamers: Summer Championship - Open 2, and also made it to the top three at Nerd Street Gamers: Winter Championship - Open 14 and Knights Arena Monthly Gauntlet 2022: March. However, back in August, the 20-year-old American tried out for Built By Gamers Academy, but still returned to T1 to participate in the qualifiers for Proving Grounds 2022: Unleashed.

However, thwifo is forced to leave T1 as the South Korean club is partnered for the Asian League. At the same time, the organization has already begun to build a new roster, starting from the rules for registering players from other regions.

NRG has partnered with Riot Games and will take part in America's top competitive ecosystem alongside Sentinels, 100 Thieves, Cloud9, Evil Geniuses, FURIA, LOUD, MIBR, Leviatán Esports, and KRÜ Esports.

Given the latest rumors, NRG will also sign the backbone of OpTic Gaming as well as pick up the ardiis sniper who refused to move to NAVI with the rest of FunPlus Phoenix.

Probable composition of NRG in the VALORANT discipline:

• s0m
• FNS
• ardiis
• crashies
• Victor
• thwifo
• Chet (head coach)
