NRG cut FaNg after poor start to year
NRG has announced the departure of Justin "FaNg" Coakley from their roster. The Canadian becomes the second player to leave the team in as many days following NRG's recent string of failures—the most high-profile of which was their 0-2 exit from the PGL Copenhagen Major Americas RMR. FaNg's departure from NRG comes after Damian "daps" Steele decided to switch to a coaching role within the team while Colby "Walco" Walsh was called up from Party Astronauts to replace him.
FaNg's exit from NRG comes after a mixed period for the player since returning to activity following five months on Complexity's bench. While FaNg showed flashes of his peak form from the Extra Salt days, he noticeably struggled to find his footing under daps' leadership in key matches against higher-ranked NA squads like Elevate, Wildcard, and Party Astronauts.
NRG are now:
-
Josh "oSee" Ohm -
Vincent "Brehze" Cayonte
-
Jadan "HexT" Postma -
Colby "Walco" Walsh
-
Damian "daps" Steele (Coach)
NRG will need to find a new fifth before they kick off their ESL Challenger League Season 47 campaign, which was previously put on hold for Americas RMR.
