NRG take down 9INE in Miami to win their third FRAG event in a row!
Yesterday NRG topped FRAG Miami 2 over 9INE, winning their third FRAG event in a row while taking home $5,000 and a horde of VRS points. NRG's run through FRAG Miami 2 saw them take down a number of NA teams before facing off securing wins over GamerLegion and then 9INE to secure a fairly comprehensive win over the best teams in the event.
NRG's road to the grand finals started in Stage One with a singular win over Memeories, which was enough to lock in Stage Two due to their seed. From there, NRG advanced out of Group C via a 2-0 win over Kraken Seas and a very close 2-1 over Marsborne.
In the playoffs, NRG topped a competitive series over Voca before taking a confident 2-0 win over GamerLegion.
The grand finals ended up being NRG's biggest challenge and something of a slog as overtime was the name of the game throughout the series. Dust2 went to quintuple overtime with 48 rounds played before NRG broke the stalemate to win 25-23. Then on Overpass we had another overtime, albeit much quicker, with 9INE taking it 16-14 to tie up the series.
Next up, Inferno was a surprisingly quick wrap-up for NRG as they locked down the map 13-7 before taking an equally quick 13-5 win on Train to win the series 3-1. Alexander "br0" Bro was NRG's standout player in the finals, posting a 1.32 rating in the grand finals.
