The VALORANT esports<\/a> community was taken by surprise as NRG Esports announced the departure of two prominent members: Victor “Victor” Wong and head coach Chet “Chet” Singh.<\/p>\n

This marks a significant shakeup for a team that has already had a tumultuous year of competitive play.<\/p>\n

NRG’s performance in the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT)<\/a> has been disappointing.<\/p>\n

Following a strong start at the VCT Americas Kick-off, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs after finishing fifth in Group Alpha of the VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1.<\/p>\n

In response, NRG brought back veteran in-game leader Pujan “FNS” Mehta and former controller player Sam “s0m” Oh for Stage 2, moving star duelist Max “Demon1” Mazanov to the substitute position and letting Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen go.<\/p>\n

Despite these changes, NRG won only one of their four Stage 2 games, finishing fourth in Group Alpha and missing the playoffs again.<\/p>\n

The decision to part ways with Victor and Chet appears to stem from the need to reassess and rebuild the team’s dynamics.<\/p>\n
