Official: NRG bench Jeorge ahead of expected move to Voca

NRG have confirmed that Jeorge "Jeorge" Endicott has been benched to make room for the recently acquired Michael "Grim" Wince on the starting lineup. Grim's addition was first reported on by Dust2.us on February 14th, however it was unknown at the time of publication who Grim would be replacing on America's top team, with it later being speculated by the community that Jeorge would be the player out of the team.

Jeorge leaves NRG after joining the team in November 2024 as a replacement for the now-retired Timothy "autimatic" Ta helping to stabilize and improve a roster that got off to a sluggish start upon NRG's entry into Counter-Strike 2 in late 2023. In 2025, Jeorge maintained an impressive 1.15 rating over 203 maps while helping the squad qualify to both 2025 Majors and claim a number of NA trophies.

Jeorge currently sits at a slightly lower 1.09 rating over 46 maps in 2026 as NRG have enjoyed a strong start to the year and a rapid climb in the VRS off the back of recent LAN success. As such, Jeorge's exit from the team could be viewed under the lens of accommodating the entry of Grim into the lineup rather than ousting an under-performing player.

Fortunately, Jeorge will likely not be on the bench for long as Voca's Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen has all but confirmed he will be replacing Shane "shane" Dressler on the team.

NRG are currently:

• Nick "nitr0" Cannella

• Alexander "br0" Bro

• Aran "Sonic" Groesbeek

• Josh "oSee" Ohm

• Michael "Grim" Wince

• Damian "daps" Steele (Coach)

• Jeorge "Jeorge" Endicott (Inactive)

Jeorge and Voca are set to face off against Wildcard in the PGL Bucharest NA Closed Qualifier Upper Bracket Final tonight at 10:00PM.
