ardiis says Game Changers players aren’t good enough

The Valorant player ardiss stated that if Game Changers players were as good as fans thought, they would be picked up by bigger organizations.

The Valorant pro questioned that if the players really are so insane, why aren’t the top teams picking the Game Changers players? He further questioned why Team Liquid isn’t picking up a Game Changers player.

Ardiis stated that the big organizations don’t think the players are good enough. He claimed the reason is that simple but players still continue to allege that the players are good. The former pro alleged that everyone talks about the Game Changers players like they are too good when in reality, they are unable to compete at the top level.

For instance, ardiis claimed people would ask on forums whether fans would marry Brazilian player Julia “Jelly” Iris for $1,000,000. The player stated that he doesn’t even know who Jelly is.
