NRG Valorant gets their sixth in the form of thwifo from the T1 roster. NRG roster has Victor, Som, Ardiis, FNS, and Crashies.
As VCT 2023 gets closer, qualified teams are either entering off-season tournaments or building a solid foundation for their team. Taking cues from most teams, NRG Valorant added a sixth member. Thwifo was a former T1 player who also played for Xset in 2021. He primarily played in C-tier tournaments in 2022 but was a huge part of Xset in the 2021 seasons. Let us break down his involvement with NRG and how he fits in.

First, let us discuss Thwifo’s role in the team. He is a sixth, so the team has no problems if they need a substitution in a tournament. In addition, he is an Initiator player who can be an excellent replacement for Crashies, just in case. His primary agents are Fade and Sova, but he can also play Killjoy and has done well with her in the past. He can also play Sentinels well, as he is known to change between Cypher, Killjoy, and Sage from time to time.
Thwifo was also a Fortnite player but has now switched to competitive Valorant for quite some time. He was a primary Cypher player for Xset in the qualifying rounds for NA Challengers, but the team lost a lot to TSM, NV, and Sentinels. Hopefully, this new and improved NRG will be a blessing for Thwifo as he can be himself and improvise on his playstyle with the help of great minds like FNS and veteran experience like Ardiis.
VCT 2023 begins on February 2023 for all regions. However, the off-season tournaments are still going on.
