XotiC Leaves NRG After Five Months with the Team

North American organization NRG has officially announced roster changes. American player Zechrie “XotiC” Elshani has left the team after spending around five months with the lineup. The news was confirmed via the club’s official post on X. His spot in the starting five has been taken by Joshua “oSee” Ohm, who had previously been on the bench. These changes mark an important step for NRG ahead of the start of the new season and upcoming qualifiers.

XotiC joined NRG in mid-2025, at a time when the organization was actively rebuilding its roster and searching for stability following a series of underwhelming results. The young American player was given the opportunity to establish himself at the professional level and prove his worth in a team with a big name and serious ambitions. Over five months with NRG, he became a full-fledged member of the roster and took part in a large number of official matches.

During this period, NRG delivered solid results on the North American scene. With XotiC in the lineup, the team secured first-place finishes at several tournaments, including CCT Season 3 North American Series #1, ESL Challenger League Season 50: North America – Cup #1, Fragville 2025, and FRAG Ultra Mega Jersey 2025. These victories helped the squad strengthen its position in the region and gave both the players and coaching staff confidence in the chosen direction.

Individually, XotiC had a consistent stint with NRG. Over the past six months, he played 95 maps with an average ADR of 76 and a 1.16 rating, which places him around the middle of the team in terms of individual performance.

Current NRG roster:

• nitr0
• Jeorge
• br0
• Sonic
• oSee
• daps (coach)

This is the lineup the team will use as it prepares for its first major test after the changes. The updated roster will make its debut at BLAST Bounty Winter 2026: Closed Qualifier, which kicks off on January 13, 2026.
