iiTzTimmy wasn’t without an organisation for long.

iiTzTimmy, YanYa and Gild will represent NRG when the ALGS Pro League returns in April. The roster is the latest in a series of ALGS roster announcements, as things fall into place before top level Year 5 competition gets underway.

The team will be supported by both Dan, formerly of Spacestation Gaming and Winnie who last worked alongside GUILD.

This roster looks set to be among a strong group of teams in North America. 100 Thieves, who iiTzTimmy just departed, also announced a very strong line-up today.

Gild and iiTzTimmy reunite on NRG

This new NRG roster is somewhat of a reunion for iiTzTimmy and Gild. The pair competed together across ALGS Split 2, including a respectable 10th place finish at the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in Mannheim, Germany., However, there will be a very different dynamic between the two the second time around.

After departing Moist Esports, iiTzTimmy has focused on stepping into the IGL role. He joins YanYa and Gild ready to be the undisputed leader, having tussled with Dezignful for control on 100 Thieves.

He will have two of the best fraggers around supporting his calls. YanYa has been in incredible form over the last few months, impressing during his short spell with Envy. Gild has long been one of the premier controller players and will be keen to remind fans why he was considered on par with the likes of Genburten and Verhulst. He, and NRG, will expect significantly better results than the heart-breaking 31st place finish in Sapporo.

iiTzTimmy, YanYa and Gild will be backed by an experienced coaching set-up at NRG. Adopting both a coach and an analyst is always a strong sign of faith from an organisation, and in Dan and Winnie they have an excellent depth of knowledge.
