Following their triumphant run at the StarLadder StarSeries Fall qualifier, NRG arrived in Paris determined to claim another elite tournament spot at the Esports World Cup LAN qualifier. Facing Hungarian opponents Spirit HU in their opening match, the squad delivered a dominant 2-0 victory, with returning player Jeorge Endicott showcasing exceptional form throughout.
The action kicked off on Mirage, Spirit HU's map selection, where NRG found themselves trailing 0-3 in the opening rounds. However, they quickly turned the tide with an impressive 13-1 streak, ultimately closing out the map with a convincing 13-4 scoreline. Moving to their own pick of Cache, NRG aimed to extend their winning momentum to six consecutive victories. They achieved this goal in spectacular fashion, securing a flawless 13-0 triumph without requiring a single clutch situation.
Jeorge's individual statistics were nothing short of remarkable. He maintained a rating above 2.00 on both maps, finishing with an overall series rating of 2.22. His final stat line read 36 kills against just 14 deaths, 126.6 average damage per round, and a positive 11.31% round swing contribution.
