NRG has officially built itself a VALORANT juggernaut. As it stood, they already had a solid team after retaining Crashies, Victor, and Marved. Now, they’ve added Ethan and Demon1 from the VALORANT Champions-winning Evil Geniuses squad, which is breaking up after severe executive mismanagement is rocking the organization.
Ethan and Demon1 were alleged to be in “contract jail” by multiple esports insiders. Essentially, EG was reportedly turning down fair buyout offers for their players, leaving them in limbo as the 2024 season rapidly approached. To make matters worse for the players, the VALORANT vertical might be EG’s last esports holding, and it looks like they’re trying to sell everything humanly possible.
