Oxygen entered into NA with its academy roster in 2022, featuring emerging talents like Reduxx and Verno, who would eventually join the main lineup. However, they did not participate in VCT. By the end of 2022, Oxygen replaced their academy team with a squad designed to compete in Challengers and ascend to the Americas League. Retaining Verno, they added seasoned players, ex-C9 pro mitch and controller-player skuba. The team easily qualified for Challengers and steadily improved over the season, bolstered by Reduxx's return after he reached the age threshold.

Heading into 2024, Oxygen added Masters-winning sentinel dapr, forming the latest iteration of the roster. They dominated the offseason, winning multiple tournaments, including the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2, and were favorites to reach Ascension. Early in the year, they lived up to expectations, achieving a 3-2 regular season record and winning the Mid-Season Cup. They continued their strong performance into the Split 2 Playoffs, but an early upset to M80 M80 North America Rank #1 zander Alexander Dituri NiSMO Marc-Andre Tayar koalanoob Gianfranco Potestio neT Michael Bernet BcJ Brendan Jensen placed them in the lower bracket.

However, a surprise loss to TSM TSM North America Rank #7 seven Johann Hernandez gMd Anthony Guimond sym Tyler Porter POISED Kevin Ngo aproto Alex Protopapas in the lower round 3 ended their season in fourth place again.

So far, the organization has not announced whether it plans to continue participating in NA Challengers in 2025 or is permanently exiting the scene.

Despite missing out on Ascension, the former Oxygen squad, now free agents, will be compelling options for Partnership teams looking to rebuild for 2025, though Reduxx will turn 18 midway through next season. Head coach bonkar and assistant coach Rustun are other high-profile options, often praised for turning Oxygen into Ascension contender.
