THE TWO-TIME CHAMPS

The win streak continues, as NRG CS2 have now won 11 straight matches. The boys had a great week in the ECL with comfortable wins over Wildcard, timbermen and Take Flyte. We now sit atop the leaderboard for the season with a 20-2 overall map record. 

The team also took home its second consecutive Prize Picks North America Revival Series championship, taking down Party Astronauts, Fluffy Aimers and Nouns in the grand final over the weekend.

The remainder of the week continues to be packed with action, as the squad will have more ECL action, as well as the ESL Challenger Katowice qualifiers beginning on the 26th.

 

WELCOME BACK GILD

Apex Legends rostermania has arrived, and NRG made a big acquisition bringing back Gild to replace Reptar in the starting roster. Gild played for NRG in 2022 and 2023 and was part of the squad that finished 2nd in the 2023 Split 1 Playoffs at the Copper Box in London.

Gild also has a long history with the rest of the NRG Apex Squad, Fun and Noc. The trio played together along with NRG coach, Hodsic, for Team Liquid for the majority of 2022.

Adding Gild is a huge win for the team heading into the 2024 World Championships taking place in Sapporo, Japan!
