Three new members will don the Nouns jersey.

Cryptic will take the reigns of Nouns

Nouns have announced their new roster featuring Matthew "⁠Cryptic⁠" Whitmore, Jaxon "⁠Peeping⁠" Cornwell, and Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green ahead of the 2025 season.

The trio joins William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba and Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson, who are the only remnants of the previous roster iteration that also included Carson "⁠nosraC⁠" O'Reilly and Christopher "⁠cJ dA K1nG⁠" Jones, who parted ways with the organization, and Jeorge "⁠Jeorge⁠" Endicott, who jumped ship to NRG.

Cryptic joins the team from orgless squad BOSS. The 23-year-old notably led the team at ESL Pro League S19 and the Shanghai Major RMR, where they couldn't make it through despite winning their opener against M80.

Peeping joins Nouns after standing in for the team at Fragadelphia 18, where he averaged a 1.26 rating, while Infinite comes in from Party Astronauts.

Nouns are now:

United States Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson
United States William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
United States Jaxon "⁠Peeping⁠" Cornwell
United States Matthew "⁠Cryptic⁠" Whitmore
United States Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green

if you check most rosters he had a lot of bad luck with joining rosters who go through a complete overhaul like 1-2 months later

They managed to be the only consistent top 5 NA team with full US lineup, there's something about this org's Aura, they take W's left right and centre gotta give it to them one of the best managed NA org, I think 2025 is definitely feeling Nounish

I liked more this team before the chamges happenned. All these NA teams of this calliber are likely a failire with these line ups of NA players but there might be light at the end of the tunnel if only those teams moved to EU at least temporarily to be able to practice with top dogs cause we know how awful NA practices are within NA with almost noonce to practice with, so if NA orgs do have the money and actually want their teams to succeed then send them to Europe or somewhere where they could get some pracs agains top teams otherwise you can move NA players around all you want, but they wont be able to do much internationally, been proven many times.
