Media: NRG target oSee for new CS team

The North American AWPer is reportedly on NRG’s wishlist as he edges closer to leaving Liquid.

oSee is high on NRG's list of targets

NRG have set their sights on Liquid AWPer Josh "⁠oSee⁠" Ohm, according to a report by Dust2.us. The 24-year-old has been identified as “one of the key pieces” for NRG’s North American roster as the organization looks to return to Counter-Strike in the near future.

oSee is understood to be on his way out of Liquid, who are in the process of overhauling their lineup after a series of disappointing results. The North American giants have been linked with Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller and Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken, with the Danish player set to take over the AWP from oSee.

HLTV.org revealed on November 3 that NRG are looking to return to Counter-Strike, almost four years after exiting the game following the sale of their lineup to Evil Geniuses. In an appearance on the League of Legends podcast ‘The Crossover’, NRG CEO Andy Miller stated that the project will be focused on North American talent. "We're going to be NA,” he said.

oSee has been with Liquid since December 2021, when he was signed from Extra Salt. Despite being regarded as North America’s best AWPer, he has struggled to make an impact at the highest level, averaging just a 1.02 rating against top 20 teams.

According to Dust2.us, NRG have set their sights on players with experience on teams like Liquid, Complexity and Evil Geniuses. The latter are reportedly dropping their Counter-Strike team as part of a series of changes to the company’s esports section.
