What more is there to say about this team? NRG Rocket League are champions once again, taking home the RLCS Raleigh Open #5 crowns. The squad is in incredible form, having won the last two open events since returning from Birmingham.
NRG secured Open 5 with an 18-1 map record in the main event. At a 94.74% winrate, it is the most dominant regional win in NA history by winrate. They surpassed the record set by NRG jstn, GarrettG and Squishy (90.63%, 29-3) from RLCS Season X, Fall Regional 2.
Next up for the team is the final regional of the year, Raleigh Open #6. The boys will look to make some more history and sweep the 3 regionals of the split, which has never been done in North America!
NRG CS cannot be stopped! The team clinched another tier-1 LAN berth this past weekend by winning ECL Season 49. NRG took down Nouns, again, in 3-0 fashion to claim the $25,000 prize and a direct invite to ESL Pro League in Stockholm later this year.
This week the team has a chance to qualify for the Thunderpick World Championships Closed Qualifier, another big European event. The team will face off vs. the Brazilian side, Legacy, in the grand finals later today for a chance at $20,000 and a trip to the EU!
The grind doesn’t stop with Thunderpick, as the squad will head off to IEM Dallas on Saturday and will face a huge test, playing first vs. powerhouse Falcons on May 19th.
P.S. Shoutout to the big fella, SHAQ, for supporting the squad ahead of the CS Major in Austin.
Following a week full of roster announcements, the VALORANT team has been hard at work preparing for the Esports World Cup qualifiers. Our first match takes place later today vs. Leviatan @ 6:00 PM PST. The squad faces a long road to Riyadh, as they will have to win 5 matches in this double elimination bracket to secure one of the two coveted slots in the global tourney held in Saudi Arabia.
Full Squad hit Hollywood as the team welcomed Ana de Armas to the set to promote her upcoming film Ballerina. The Squad filmed a hilarious game of Heads Up and quizzed Ana on Gen Z slang (spoiler: she crushed it) as well as getting a sneak peak at he upcoming film Ballerina with Keanu Reeves. The highlight? Ana admitting that Classy had rizz. The video has been a massive success racking up over 17 Million views and 1.3 Million Engagements. More big-name collabs from Tinseltown are on the way—stay tuned.
