ptr leaves NRG

Peter "ptr" Gurney has stepped down from NRG Esports' active roster, the player has announced on Social Media.

The 27-year-old, who has been part of NRG since January 2016, has not disclosed the reason behind this move, simply writing that he has "decided to part ways with the team".

ptr has left NRG after representing the team's colours for almost two years

Even after the signing of Allan "⁠AnJ⁠" Jensen, NRG have been struggling for form, with the team placing 7th-8th at the DreamHack Open stops in both Valencia and Atlanta. 

With Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney's future remaining uncertain and NRG's fifth player yet to be revealed, here is how the North American roster currently looks:

Canada Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele
United States Jacob "⁠FugLy⁠" Medina
United States Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte
Denmark Allan "⁠AnJ⁠" Jensen

It's a shame that he was either really fucking good, or really fucking shit. More often than not, it was the latter. Might get along better depending on what team picks him up (IF a team picks him up).
