According to a report from RushBMedia, the prestigious North American organization NRG is looking to create a VALORANT team. Here is their report:
NRG looking to create VALORANT team – Who are they picking up?
The team will consist of recently retired CS:GO coach Chet “Chet” Singh as their VALORANT coach. With regards to their players, they will be picking up ex-Gen.G player Damian “daps” Steele, as well as currently active player for Gen.G Sam “s0m” Oh.
Chet
Chet has been coaching since 2016 and is now known as one of North America’s best coaches. His most memorable moments in his career was when he was coaching the NRG/EG roster, where they managed to win quite a few events. Some being: StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 8, Intel Extreme Masters XIII – Shanghai & ESL One: New York 2019.
Daps
Damian has had quite a long CS:GO career as he started competing back in 2012, and has been guiding teams to the top ever since. Daps already has some synergy with coach Chet as they had already played together under NRG back in 2018-2019.
S0m
18-year old s0m has only been competing since 2017, but has already made a name for himself under Team Envy, as well as Gen.G. The young North American star, under the leadership of Daps has definitely gained a lot of experience, and this might be why NRG are interested in picking him up.
The report does not indicate any ETA as to when NRG will be announcing their roster; however we will certainly be getting an announcement in the very near future. North American VALORANT is loaded with organizations that have invested into the game, and it’s very weird to see more and more organizations investing in the region, whereas in Europe there are very few Major organizations that have invested into the esport. The current health situation definitely has had an impact on these decisions, but VALORANT is still in its infancy, which means there will be plenty of time for unsigned European teams to get picked up!
