NRG CS2 was in the trenches, battling all last week at the BLAST Austin CS2 Major. The team started out strong, taking down the higher ranked Chinese side, TYLOO, in convincing fashion. Only a few short hours later, the team unfortunately fell to the top ranked team in the stage, HEROIC.
Sitting at 1-1 coming into day 2, the team squared off vs. fellow North Americans, Complexity in the third round of swiss play. In dominant fashion, the boys took the victory, topping Complexity 13-9 on Inferno.
On day 3 of the major, NRG fell 0-2 to the Danish core of OG Esports putting the teams record at 2-2. Day 4 saw the NRG boys drop their do or die decider match vs. Lynn Vision, 0-2. With this defeat, the team unfortunately failed to advance to stage 2 of the major.
While there were some glimpses of great play, the squad fell just a bit short and will have to regroup for the second season of the year once the Austn major concludes in a few weeks. It was an honor to represent North America at an event on home soil, the boys are determined to come back stronger after the player break.
Sunday, June 7th was the final day of regular season ALGS league play. NRG entered the servers in pole position, needing just a few points to claim first place for the regular season split. While the team didn’t have its best day, they did enough to secure first place out of the 30 competing teams in North America. Iitztimmy, Gild, Siikez and coach Winnie will look to finish out the season strong this coming weekend during the ALGS split 1 Regional Finals, where we’ll be fighting for a healthy prize pool and more importantly, direct invites to the Esports World Cup
Full Squad is going Hollywood! The team recently hit the red carpet at the premiere of Ballerina, where they got the chance to interview stars like Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, and Norman Reedus. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, as we continue building our relationship with Lionsgate and begin working with other major production companies.
