NRG made an incredible run in Group Omega by winning four matches, losing only to 100 Thieves during the Group Stage. They made it in first place of the group, but ended up losing to G2 in the Upper Bracket Semifinals. To reach the Grand Finals, they had to defeat Evil Geniuses, Leviatán, Cloud9, and Sentinels. However, they didn't stand a chance against a strong and solidified G2.
Throwback through Stage 2
At the beginning of the split, Nathan "leaf" Orf had to step away from the competition to recover from Crohn's disease. Andrej "BABYBAY" Francisty replaced him and brought incredible aura farming moments to the competition, being praised for his outgoing personality and great performance. After leaf's return to the roster, G2 Esports revealed that BABYBAY was going to be part of the team as the sixth man until the end of the season.
