NRG add nosraC and XotiC

8-7-2025 21:05

The North American team has refreshed its roster with two new players.

Reports of the addition of Carson "⁠nosraC⁠" O'Reilly and Zack "⁠XotiC⁠" Elshani to NRG's starting five have been confirmed as the North American organization has officially anounced the move.

Media: NRG to bench oSee and HexT, pick up nosraC and XotiC

The transfer comes after the removal of Jadan "⁠HexT⁠" Postma and Josh "⁠oSee⁠" Ohm, the two longest-tenured players on the team before the current overhaul, following lackluster showing from NRG on the international stage despite dominating the local scene.

nosraC and XotiC will reunite with former teammate Jeorge "⁠Jeorge⁠" Endicott. The former is best known for his time in Nouns between 2022 and 2024 and then leading Getting Info in the first half of 2025, while the latter comes in to take over the big green with only seven maps recorded on HLTV to his name this year.

NRG are slated to debut at Fragadelphia 19 in Windsor, Canada beginning July 17, with the following roster:

United States Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella
United States Jeorge "⁠Jeorge⁠" Endicott
United States Carson "⁠nosraC⁠" O'Reilly
United States Zack "⁠XotiC⁠" Elshani
Denmark Alexander "⁠br0⁠" Bro

Canada Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele (coach)

just seems like a really unnecessary shakeup from NRG management; a gamble when they already had a team made up of seasoned players, and now they have to start over when it comes to strategies and teamplay solid lineup that needs more time -> an unproven lineup of randoms

I mean it's pretty much the equivalent of just picking up some random level 10 FACEIT player. Downgrades/upgrades aside, it's definitely not a good look for one of the few longer standing NA orgs who should be, at the very least, aspiring to develop younger talent that has promise rather than some mid 20 year old LAN dodger. He's an unproven nepo baby who has actively worked against his own teams best interests. You're right in that he'll definitely have to go to LANs now and hopefully both these pickups work out, but a lot of these guys have played together before and have achieved nothing of note
