Hopefully NRG pick it up with this signing. I honestly think hazed leaving TSM is better for TSM and is creating better opportunities for them. gl to both teams and to hazed.

If james has a million fans, then I am one of them. If james has ten fans, then I am one of them. If james has only one fan then that is me. If james has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against james, then I am against the world.

Looking at his relationship with the players of NRG, especially Som, ig it was pretty much clear that if hazed ever leaves tsm, he'd join NRG
Good luck to the boys of NRG

I think this fits pretty well with him playing sentinel, viper, (maybe smokes?) and im assuming he will take on the igl role. good move

Idk why they go for hazed when Steel is available but whatever. He's a very consistent player who has been an IGL for a while. He's not a great IGL(which is what they desperately need) but maybe he'll call better with different teammates or something. If they weren't able to get Steel and hazed was their 2nd option, then I would say it's a pretty good move but I really feel like NRG had to get Steel if they wanted to compete with the top teams in NA. Obviously NRG already has a really good core 3 players of Android, eeiu and s0m but the other 2 are why I think they won't be able to get to events like LCQ. Tex is great but I'm not a fan of him on jett and hazed isn't the player they needed imo.

When NRG announced the joining of Som, they had mentioned in the post that they found their duelist, now som is mostly put on controller. He is good at it , but still meh....
At this point i wont be surprised if their content creators be put on the Pro Roster and Win Something 😁

No shocker... I've been seeing s0m together with hazed for how many months and their chemistry built up, so this is much expected.
