NRG tasted success in their first LAN campaign with Jeorge.
NRG have claimed the Fragadelphia 18 title, doing so without dropping a single map in the process. It was the North American squad’s first LAN outing since adding Jeorge “Jeorge” Endicott to the roster, who finished the event as their highest-rated player.
It was a comfortable run to the title for NRG, who only saw their opponents rack up a double digit score on two of the 10 maps they played. After breezing past underdogs Stand On Business and a Joshua “steel” Nissan’s Undone, NRG passed their first real test by outclassing BOSS, who had beaten Nick “nitr0” Cannella and company in their last meeting in October.
NRG were then offered the stiffest resistance of their campaign in the upper final by Sharks, who pushed NRG hard over two maps thanks to powerful performances by Danilo “doc” Barros. Sharks took out BOSS to make it to the grand final for a rematch with NRG, but were easily beaten this time around to grant NRG their flawless title run.
Jeorge may have been NRG’s highest-rated player but the entire squad thrived, with Josh “oSee” Ohm posting his best event rating since the summer and nitr0 and Jadan “HexT” Postma leading the scoreboard in the upper semi-final and final respectively.

The Brazilian’s highlight performance came in a 13-10 win over Nouns on Mirage, where he posted 31 frags, 138 ADR, and a 2.14 rating over 26 rounds.
