NRG, one of the first organizations to show interest in Apex Legends, returned to North American competitive play today after being away from the scene for over half a year. The organization is picking up one of the top free agent rosters heading into the Split Two regular season.

The official NRG X (formerly Twitter) account announced the new roster on May 30th, consisting of Brandon "oh Nocturnal" Singer, Ryan "Reptar" Boyd, and Brandon "FunFPS" Groombridge, alongside coach Haris "hodsic" Hodzic. Nocturnal, Fun, and hodsic were all part of the recently dropped XSET roster that failed to make it through the Split One Playoffs. Additionally, analyst Sovereign joins the organization as the newest member.
While XSET has seen a setback in recent Split One results, the core of the team is a respected duo in North America, with notable accolades including Nocturnal and Fun's Split Two NA Pro League title in 2023 and their streak of five consecutive LAN event qualifications starting in 2022.
NRG’s latest roster enjoyed success throughout the 2023 season, finishing second in the Split One Playoffs, eleventh in the Split Two Playoffs, and fifteenth in the championship. However, the organization would ultimately say goodbye to the entire Apex Legends division on September 23, 2023, releasing its competitive team and all content creators.
