Rumors: NRG plans to bench Marved

After the conclusion of the first stage of the VCT 2024: Stage 1 regular season in the region, teams that failed to qualify for Masters Shanghai are beginning to make player changes. One such team is the American squad NRG, rumors about which have resurfaced online today.

According to journalist Alejandro Gomis from Sheep Esports, the team plans to bench main roster player Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen before the start of the second stage of VCT 2024: Americas Stage 2. This change is likely related to the team's performance in the latest tournament, as well as other rumors about potential new members.

Recall that a few days ago, rumors about NRG appeared online. According to insiders, the team is interested in signing two well-known players from the Brazilian club LOUD. If these rumors are true, LOUD will be significantly weakened by losing their captain and key player.

It is still unknown if the information about NRG is true. There is still plenty of time before the start of VCT 2024: Americas Stage 2, so the team will have ample opportunity to officially announce the acquisition of new players and changes to the main roster.
