Following a dismal showing in week 1 of VCT Split 2, the NRG VALORANT boys were back in action on Saturday night. In a classic matchup vs. the 1-0 LOUD, NRG made quick work of the Brazilian side.
Map 1 saw NRG start slow, going down 1-3, before s0m saved the day with a clutch multi-kill in round 5, that would give us the momentum to secure 12 of the next 13 rounds for a decisive 13-4 map-win on Haven.
Map 2 was Corrode, Riot’s newest map that NRG has never played in an official game before. Brawk quickly stole the show, rattling off multiple 4-kill rounds and a 21-14 K/D/A to lead the team to another decisive map win. LOUD kept things a bit closer than in map 1, but ultimately fell 13-9, dropping the series to the NRG boys.
NRG now sits at 1-1 and will meet former NRG player, tex, and Leviatan next week. Tune in to catch all the action Friday, August 1st @ 5:00 PM PST.
This past weekend, the Squad made our first-ever appearance at Comic-Con — and it was everything we hoped for (and then some). Comic-Con is 5x bigger than Twitch Con so we were excited about the new adventure. We teamed up with Rockstar Energy to shoot exclusive content, connected with fans IRL, met with major streaming networks, and partied alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment. One highlight? Hanging out with the cast of Amazon Prime’s Upload ahead of their final season drop.
