NRG qualify to BLAST Open Spring 2026 over Passion UA
NRG defeated Passion UA 2-0 in the Ace North American Masters 2026 grand final to qualify for BLAST Open Spring 2026 in Rotterdam.
As two of the top four VRS-ranked teams in NA, both NRG and Passion UA received direct invites to the Ace North American Masters main event. NRG defeated two of the qualifier teams in Fisher College and Voca, while Passion UA took down BOSS and fellow top-four team M80.
In the fight for first place and a spot at BLAST Open Spring 2026, NRG dominated Passion UA on their own map pick of Nuke 13-3, in large part thanks to Alexander "br0" Bro's 20-6 stat line and 2.10 rating. NRG's map pick of Mirage was closer, but ended in a comfortable 13-7 victory.
They will join the likes of NIP and TYLOO in Rotterdam starting March 18th.
