NRG Esports NRG Esports North America Rank #2 FiNESSE Pujan Mehta s0m Sam Oh Verno Andrew Maust mada Adam Pampuch Ethan Ethan Arnold Head Coach Chet "Chet" Singh may potentially be targeting a return to Counter-Strike according to a report by Counter-Strike news site HLTV. The coach is supposedly in discussions with numerous American and European organizations.

Before Valorant's release, Chet spent his time as a coach in Counter Strike. His greatest achievements were under NRG and Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #18 Derrek Derrek Ha NaturE Nicholas Garrison supamen Phat Le , winning four international titles and even earning EG a brief title as the best team in the world in 2019.

Among the initial batch of talent that migrated to Valorant back in 2020, Chet began his stay in North America with NRG Esports before rotating to TSM TSM North America Rank #7 seven Johann Hernandez gMd Anthony Guimond and then Envy Envy Inactive Marved Jimmy Nguyen Victor Victor Wong crashies Austin Roberts FiNESSE Pujan Mehta yay Jaccob Whiteaker , where his rise to fame amongst coaches kicked off.

His time spent with the Envy core of Pujan "FiNESSE" Mehta, Austin "crashies" Roberts, and Victor "Victor" Wong netted him a first, second, and third-place finish at all three majors of 2022. In terms of international results, his performances would set the bar for coaches and teams alike heading into 2023.

Unfortunately, last year's VCT season did not end as successfully as the previous one for Chet. After exiting LOCK//IN early at the hands of LOUD LOUD Brazil Rank #2 pANcada Bryan Luna tuyz Arthur Andrade cauanzin Cauan Pereira , the adjusted NRG roster was only able to secure a fourth-place finish at Masters Tokyo as their best placement of the year. Despite being favored to exit the group stage at Champions 2023, the squad fell 0-2 to Bilibili Gaming Bilibili Gaming China Rank #3 B3ar Yang Zhanxiong (杨瞻雄) whzy Wang Haozhe (王昊哲) Levius Lu Yinzhong (卢胤中) rushia Wang Xiaojie (王晓杰) nephh Marcus Tan Knight Liu Yuxiang (刘宇翔) twice to cut their stay in L.A. short.

This year's results have plummeted yet again, with NRG failing to make both Masters events so far while only securing three victories throughout Stage 1. Numerous roster changes have affected the team, the most recent being swapping in FNS and Sam "s0m" Oh in place of Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen and Max "Demon1" Mazanov.

NRG have one more chance to qualify for Champions, the most realistic being a direct qualification through a run at playoffs.
