NRG will regret losing the first map

NRG defeated by JW and EYEBALLERS at PGL Bucharest 2026

NRG have their backs against the wall now.

EYEBALLERS, led by Swedish legend Jesper "JW" Wecksell, took down NRG in a 2-0 sweep.

NRG are now facing elimination, as they have a 1-2 record at PGL Bucharest 2026.

The series got started on EYBALLERS' Nuke selection, where both sides began with streaks of rounds, with NRG holding a 4-3 lead early. EYEBALLERS would have been more than happy with their T side, taking the final five rounds to hold a solid 8-4 lead at the half. EYEBALLERS secured an 11-6 lead early, but NRG answered with six of the last seven rounds to force overtime. The North Americans couldn't quite get the job done, though, losing 16-14 to EYEBALLERS on Nuke.

NRG had to return the favor on their map pick of Mirage. EYEBALLERS immediately took the initiative, surrendering just two rounds in the first half and taking a 10-2 lead into the second half. NRG managed to secure a few rounds on the CT side, but it wasn't near enough as the Swedes put NRG away, 13-6.

JW and Sebatian "dex" Samuelsson logged 47 and 45 frags, respectively, on EYEBALLERS' way to the 2-0 win.
